    I gave one packet of sultana and chocolate biscuits to my father, two bags of gold chocolate coins to my sisters, a music cd I made and a book about philosophy to my special friend.

    I recieved razors and dove soap from my father, a marshmallow santa from one of my sisters and 'special' pics from my special friend of her in a tinsel bikni with a merry xmas hat on.

    I get the whole G-Star thing (I wear it myself, even got a cool polo for x-mas), but G-Star Gloves? Isn't that a little over the top?

    I feel your pain dude... I feel your pain :cry:

    @ Messy - Well, I guess she thought I needed some gloves (it gets slightly chilly in England this time of year) and my sister is never the kind to buy something cheap. Everything she buys has to be designer. They're actually really nice gloves and obviously is expensive just by looking at them (oh, come on, everyone wants to look like they are wearing expensive clothes ;) ).

    Oh, my mum also got me the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin, so I'll be starting that soon. Woah, big mammoth books !

    Still cheaper than Diesel. Here in the Netherlands at least. Good for quite a few dutchies here, though, including me. Most of my clothes are show that label. It seems they are much more expensive in foreign countries...

    What is a Wii?

    It's the new Nintendo.

    Yeah, me included, I'm not a cheap shopper. I just never thought a company like G-Star would make gloves :lol:

    MoN, yeah Diesel is very expensive too. My favourite jeans by far are Diesel jeans, but they are a little out of my price range usually.

    Never even heard of those brands! I like having nice, good looking clothes, I don't care 'bout the labels. I mean clothes are clothes right ?

    I don't usually ask for clothes at Christmas, in the week after Christmas you can pick up good brands in the 'boxing week' sales much cheaper.

    Barmy Army, it's more like you got loads of poncey stuff. You sound like the guys who host Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (or a male version of Trinny and Susannah). The coolest thing you got was Song of Ice and Fire. Now THAT is cool.

    Look up 'metrosexual' in the dictionary and there will be a picture of Barmy Army there, with all his labels sticking out for the world to see. :p

    I guess this is consistent with your need to have the latest and best looking mobile phone.
