Thats quite a list!
Don’t know if you have them over your side of the water, but I can thoroughly recommend a Shark. Loads of Black Friday deals as well

That’s a great list, thanks!
I went for these fancy dice, plus a dice tray so she doesn’t dent the table:
I also marvelled at these but they’re a bit out of my Christmas budget!

Speaking of those, I may be buying one of these for someone:

Speaking of RPG-related gifts, I took advantage of my vague ability to do graphic design and the fact many companies will now print whatever you want onto whatever you want for quite cheap. Resulting in this mug for a friend who runs one of the campaigns I play in:
(This is the same friend for whom I created the Facebook Emoji Beholder, hence its appearance on the mug.)
I did something similar last year where I made coasters featuring imaginary beers from the brewery owned by the family of the dwarven fighter in the game I run.

Christmas season officially starts in our household on the day after Thanksgiving which my oldest calls Christmas tree day. If we didn’t make it a holiday of sorts then he would want it up year round.
We put up the Christmas tree. Then I spend the next month trying to keep my kids from breaking it.
My oldest is starting to understand Santa being happy or sad depending on his levels of destruction that has occurred.
Youngest is 100% there for the food, and the “Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special”. Which he would watch year round had Netflix not taken it off.

The metal dice have arrived, and I’m extremely tempted to get my own set because of how nice they are to roll…

I had the corresponding effect of buying some for myself, and then feeling bad that my friends had such sad dice that I’m buying them some too. They are like hard drugs, though; once you’ve used them, you can’t be satisfied with anything else.

For the great many of you out there who simply COULD NOT wait to find out how this positively gripping story ended (HA!), I received a package at work yesterday containing a new Dyson V8 Stick Vac! SWMBO ordered it for me as a Christmas gift. 
Combined with the copy of Europe Engulfed that I “gifted” to myself, and the fact that my mother is still healthy and recuperating nicely from her accident (I know she fell just over a year ago, but she’s 87 and these things take time), the last bit of this accursed year isn’t as bad as it could be.

I had 4 Secret Santas this year, and while most of the top of my wishlist were games that were only being released after Black Friday, three Santas got games further down the list.
Which means, I guess it’s up to me to get my Must Have games this year!
- Merv
- Ginkgopolis
- Praga Caput Regni
- The Search For Planet X
- Pandemic Legacy: Season 0
I think I have barely enough store credits to get 4 of those. Praga might have to wait. Or maybe Pandemic LS0. I can’t decide yet.

Awesome gift! I just bought myself the Dyson Air Purifier + Hydrator, which was a commitment. It better work well for the next 20 years!

I think search for Planet X and merv are moving towards sold out if not already there. Good luck.
Merv is still on pre-order here, not having arrived yet. Planet X was sold out, but they’re taking pre-orders for the next shipment, which…could be months away, maybe. There’s no rush, really. Christmas is a made up deadline.
