We 'go big' for birthdays, but try to keep Christmas fairly low-key and uncommercialized.

    I got cubes of granite that you put in your drink to chill it without watering it down.

    So yes. I got rocks for Christmas. Only one step up from lump of coal :-)
    The rocks are nice if you like your alcohol of choice neat, but also cold. I got some that look like little dice. Be careful not to dump them down the kitchen disposal unit!

    But I did get a cute little canvas bag with "on the rocks" printed on it...

    Her exact thoughts probably... "Now I can keep his rocks in a cute little canvas bag"

    there are limits on image size. you can try uploading to a hosting site like tinypic? or imgur or something. or reduce the size and try uploading.
    then again that might not be your issue. just guessing.

    some delicious cookies.
    got an NRA denim jacket
    strike industries triple crown comp (they threw in a pack of extended takedown pins as well)
    barska spotting scope
    pair of digital muffs (for me for wife to use)
    candies
    maneki neko (good fortune cat, i sort of collect them)
    some random decorations
    i bought my son some games and apparently there was one i had added to the wish list so i surprised myself with a game he opened for me. lol
    got a little range bag for pistols.
    i got a soldering rework station, haven't opened it yet but i had to buy it because my mom and ebay... well they don't get along so she handed the laptop to me and said "do it for me" then it came in mail and i handed it to her to wrap, lol.

    opposite of KC above, for birthdays we really do nothing. christmas we fill under the tree but there is a spending limit. the only "christmas" type thing we get tied up in is the rush to get cooking stuff, all gifts are bought more in a "whatever" either im buying early or it is really on a good sale or if it doesnt arrive in time oh well. no mad dashes or trampling people to death to buy crap.
    for years i've argued that we should just buy something every month and skip the gift giving on christmas. we finally adopted this buy early and half caring type of shopping, we make lists and loosely follow them. when i buy gifts for my son, it's "best price" with the exception of maybe one new thing, like a game. to the extent that i check up on pricing history of things im buying.
    i bought my wife tupperwear, scented oils, heated blanket and a few british flag novelties from ebay and some wall decoration.
    she got me the jacket, compensator and candy.

    We don't exchange gifts. Instead we purchase a bunch of finger food. Kick back and relax for a few days.
    We have been doing some travelling with the trailer the past couple years. Those are some memories that will last and have forever.

    A wonderful day with extended family at our home. The wife and I didn't exchange, we put the money we would have spent on each other towards a week in Jamaica in February.

    Wife got me some small items. I got my Christmas presents months ago. A Xbox One X and a Hatsan 12 ga semi auto shotgun.
    She filled my stocking with:
    A moisture wicking punisher shirt
    A new EDC Knife
    A wallet size multi-tool and a carabineer multi-tool
    A spare flashlight
    One of those survival lighters that have the wick soaked in fluid, with flint and striker included

    Family got me some over sized shirts so I can CC more often
    New jeans
    And they got us things to help us prepare for the baby
