I almost got the Zelda one but the Mario and Luigi one was ten bucks cheaper at Best Buy and I think it's great looking too.

I like the color more, but too bad they have Mario & Luigi on it :lol:

My woman gave me a cobalt blue DS lite with Namco collection and Super Mario 64 DS.
I gave her Pokemon Black 2 and Dig-Dug DS.

My family didn't give me much: just some clothes that don't fit properly. That's ok; it's better to give than receive.

Mom doesn't care for video games, so I gave her a new (high thread count) bed sheet set, some warm slippers, and a case of her favorite beer.

I gave my little sister some books and harry potter video games (there's no accounting for taste). I gave my baby sister Harvest Moon for Gameboy color, some anime, and a japanese gatomon toy. I gave my brother a PS1 with Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI. I gave my ex an N64 with Diddy Kong racing and Pokemon Snap! I gave the older family members some books as well.

My Wife's Brother bought me Whisky Stones (they're like ice cubes, but they aren't. They're also like stones, which they are), an official HE-MAN and SHE-RA Christmas Special DVD, and a pair of JAWS themed boxer shorts.

The Man understands me.

let me know what you think. I'm apprehensive. I don't know how I feel about putting rocks in my whisky. Then again, the watering-down of ice doesn't bother me since I'm a big fan of Scotch & water.

I did pretty well.

My family got me a Wii U LOZ edition, a pair of dockers for work, a couple dress shirts, dress socks, and a Hallmark ornament of Mickey as the Brave Little Tailor.
My sister got me a Keurig machine and sold me her Nook HD that my niece wasn't using, she's three. My ex got me Marvel boxers, Superman and Batman dress socks, and a nerd Mickey ornament from my kids.

I took advantage of Target clearance and picked up Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 and a Tom Clancy game, both 3DS, for $5.50 each and two Wii U motion plus controllers, pink and light blue, for $20 each.

My kids got a few video game things including Lego Batman and Toy Story 3 for the Wii. They also got Scribblenauts for the Wii U. I got them, among other things, a My Little Pony TPB and the Sonic Origins TPB.

I don't like water in my whisky and I don't like cold whisky either, so...maybe I'll put them in a glass of lemonade and let you know if they do the job.

My wife got these for me last year, while novel they don't work that well. The ones I got were granite and only stayed cool for less that 2 min and you need to use them all if you want a chance to cool your drink. So they work as long as you drink fast.
