Didn't got any bushcrafty presents with Christmas ...
Got 2 DVD's, painting with pics of GF and me, alarmclock, book and a cookbook.
Earlier this month we had Sinterklaas (If you take a close look at history it actually is the same guy on whom Santa Claus is based - thanks to our american friends and the 2nd world war, we now have this guy visiting twice
He brought me: matchcase, more cookbooks - I'm a student but that not necessarily means I'm starving to death - besides: you can't eat a cookbook ..., tea towels , folding cup and a Trangia kettle
My parents visited London at the end of Novemer and they brought me a Waterman re-fill pencil pen thingy to accompany my fountain pen (I can't write with a ballpoint ... )
Pretty chuffed

Hi Red,
It does seem a bit of a bargain at £25(+pp)
I will try and post impressions and maybe pics tonight (if I can work out how).
Heres the Blurb and a link for now.
This new GORETEX® garment with its fast wicking PERTEX® lining will help keep you dry, warm, comfortable, even safe and fully functioning. Foul weather? Just wear the Goretex® liner underneath your Outer Jacket. Yet when not needed it is compact enough to be carried in a SAS smock pocket! Designed as a button-in liner for the Dutch Forces Parka, SASS have added front buttons, so can be worn underneath any type of smock/jacket as an independant clothing layer. The Dutch Forces wanted weather protection without the weight, bulk, shine, rustle and easily damaged outer jacket, and the problems of a permanently sewn-in liner. New unissued, supplied to SASS in original manufacturers boxes.

Also A Coleman Propane 2 Burner Camp Stove ( I won in a Christmas Charity Auction at Work ), Good for Campground trips with the Better half.

A Swanndri Stalker extreem Jacket, that is XXXL top coat, its brill. Combination Japanees water stone, Fajall Raven wallet, and I ordered myself on the group buy a DD hammock that Sandbag tells me is on ots way.
However NO Malts! So Wild Rover. Where are we going to meet up to sample your gifts? 
I may just have to look out for the sales at Odbins
On a Bushcraft note I bought my daughter a Frost, Childs carving knife from Kris @ Greenman Bushcraft, she likes it and should be able to start carving beside me now. Her first knife at 7 yrs old.
In general it looks like we have all done quite well, we must all be good boys & girls.

I got my new car - those of you who saw my last thread on the subject will understand my joy.
I went for the GTTDI in black. I am a little boy after all.

I got a Cegga axe, an Icebreaker merino wool base layer, Windproof hat, and enough money to go a long way to buying a double layer ventile jacket that I've wanted for ages.
I got one of these...(sugar island paddle) and it looks awesome, can't wait to try it out soon!http://www.desperate-measures.co.uk/product.aspx?prodid=585

Nice, that person obviously understands your real needs.
You know, half my Xmas list was bushcrafty, but the oly thing I got was two tools for a shovel recce. One is perfect (ex Army), the other will never be used and resigned to the evil bay bin.
I'm still chuffed. It's only taken me three year to get the folding shovel.

I've had one for years. They're beauties, great for both lakes and rivers.
Got a fleece olive drab zip-up shirt. Perfect for under my anorak, or buckskin jacket.
Also got a wind-up LED lamp, perfect for when the little munchkins go camping with me.

I got a GB Hunters Axe for the collection from my Mum 
(it is simply spectacular). I also got Tribe on DVD, CBBC's Serious Survival book to introduce the boy to the outdoors when he is a bit bigger and "The Dangerous Book for Boys" Survival Manual, a bit tongue in cheek but an entertaining read. The wife got me the Long Way Down book and DVDs as well.
The most random present was a dust pan and brush. Were they trying to tell us something?

A B&D Work-mate a bottle of The Glenlivet and a bottle of Laphroig, 2 miniatures of special Glenmorangies, "The Long Way Down" book a "Sharpe" novel, three Disk World books, lots of sweeties, a bit of cash, an aromatherapy massage gift voucher, more books (archeological/historical/ethnographical) with big titles, tool kit and more....
I know the feeling
The only reason I got some bushcrafty stuff was because I'm new in the "in-law family", they don't know me well enough to buy other things than listed on my wish list ... Now I'm thinking ... New year ... New GF?
Naaaahhhh
uppy_dog she's soooooo sweeeet <insert random in-love-smiley>All sounds superb.
I recieved Cassells Wilflower etc guide which looks superb if unweildy, but it should go with their tree guide!. Two Frost's knives, GB axestone and falkniven DC3 whetstone, Wild Gourmets and a promised GB axe
as the parents didn't know which I would prefer or where was best to go buy it. The Titchmarsh Nature of Britain book and another cleaning set for teh Swarovski's, just another hint from Dad that he wants to borrow them more often I think .
Oh and a fair chunk of book tokens.
Just missing the kettle and Mors' book but oh well! The Laphroigh 10yr and Ardbeg Uigedeal (sp?) appear to be making up for that.

Actually, I feel I have the best bushcraft gift ever. My daughter Meg. She was born on my wife's birthday, so we called her my wife's birthday gift. Now granted, technically she's not a 'gift' but being six years old now, I imagine in a few more years she will be right there along with me in the woods.
Sorry mate's if this comes off a bit sappy, but I feel really lucky to have this 'bushcraft gift'.
Cheers
Alex
