I got mainly power tool this year and although not directly bushy watch this space for the things I attempt to make this coming year.
I also got some leather working tools, she bought me them about June and put them away for me without me knowing, devious things these women you know.

I did well for bushy stuff.
UCO 9 Hour Candle and Top refelctor from my Mum
Honey Stove from my Dad
Mora 120 Wood carving Knife, Mora 164 Crook knife and the book Little Book of Whittling by Chris Lubkemann
EXPED Waterproof Drybag Multi XLarge (22 Litre) from my wife
So well happy with all that, already cut myself with the carving knife and could not get the Honey Stove lit either. Well diging around 2 inches of snow to find dry tinder was a lost cause really.

A couple of British Army fleeces - I have several already, but these are great jackets and cost next to nothing
1/4 of a ton of New Forest charcoal, which comes from renewable forestry. It's all I use for forging Damascus because it burns so hot and clean.
A couple of Osage Orange bow staves.
Some A2 carbon tool steel which I will soon be forging knives from.
Some stainless and pure silver bar and rod for knife guards and pins.
A couple of Billy cans.
OK, so I bought most of the above myself in advance of Christmas but Charlotte, my three year old daughter, had asked me what I wanted for Christmas a while ago and didn't bat an eye when I asked for some longbow staves. I sourced and ordered them, but she tied the decorative ribbon bow onto the end of them and wished me Happy Christmas this morning, pointing importantly to the Osage
She's been asking all day whether I will be making a new bow for her as well as for me, to replace the Yew one she currently uses.

Gorgeous wee dog, you're a lucky man!
I got a some winter Kiwi trousers, a Gerber ceramic sharpener, some fabulous socks, and a completely lethal looking Tusa dive knife for my spearfishing exploits. All in all, really quite chuffed.
I got an Mkettle and a nice Regatta fleece. With the money I got I hope to get a sleeping bag and a new knife.
I'm looking forward to trying both out on our boxing day walk tomorrow.
