I got a shotgun.
No, wait... I _didn't_ get a shotgun. I got a Rubik's Homer Simpson Head
instead. (You think my mother-in-law would come through on something like
a shotgun, but nooooo.)
I got a gift certificate to the Leather Factory, which is extremely useful
when combined with their last-three-days-of-the-year clearance sale.
Stamping tools were $3 each instead of $7-8. This is good for my renfaire
hobby, which is marginally related to gaming. Going to have to upgrade my
social status when I start wearing tooled leather, though.
I would _like_ gaming stuff for Christmas, but I never ask for it... it's
just too weird for my non-gaming family to consider. I've got a wishlist
over at RPGNow and I can't imagine letting my family browse through that,
let alone ask them for stuff. If Funagain.com had wishlists, I'd point my
family toward the board games I'd like to have. (Heck, I _have_ a game
wish list on my Wiki, with links into Funagain's catalog. I should have
given my mom that. Except then she'd have gone to Wal-Mart and wondered
why she couldn't find Ricochet Robots, Puerto Rico or Entdecker.
I got an Atari 10-in-1 joystick.... retro 80's video gaming. _Adventure_
seems so much smaller than it used to.
Nothing directly usable with gaming, though I'll use the leather tools to
make myself a custom leather 3-ring binder for my gaming stuff.
