I got this for said family and friends:

Mom: Giant book on Downton Abbey
Dad: Rise of the Planet of the Apes, chocolates, car kit
Mate 1: Smiggle pad, pen and pencil
Mate 2: Perfume, travel pack...something else!
Secret Santa: Hello kitty spray and hello kitty earphones
Nana: Prayer book

So not really much, not many people to give to now.

The hell's a smiggle pad?

Family Calendars to both sides, so like 8 calendars. Those suckers add up.

Also gifts for our daughter. Books, a few toys ect...

I'd like to know too! Is it a New Zealand thing? I'll ask my dad...

Here's what I gave the lovely people in my life:

Dad: $40 gift card to a bookstore, and he can also use it online to download books to his e-reader.

Mom: Chocolates and a makeup kit she had her eye on.

Little brother: A Harry Potter Lego set and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It was the only one he didn't have, for some reason.

Boyfriend: $50 worth of piano sheet music and books he was looking for.

That's it!

It's honestly the most popular thing to buy stationary from here.

Got my:

Mom: 50 dollars
Dad: 50 dollars
Sister1: 50 dollars
Sister2: It will be a late present for when she comes down to visit... either 50 dollars, or an external hard drive, depending on whether her husband bought her one already or not.
Sister3: Nothing. She's in prison. I could give her 50 dollars, but she'd spend it on the most ridiculous prison attire.
Sister4: Nothing. For some reason she dropped off the map with her husband and refuses to contact anyone with any sort of regularity. After all the 50 dollars I gave her...

Extended family: I don't even know where they live anymore.

Secret Santa:
A handmade snitch necklace
Rose earrings in Gryffindor colours
Heart earrings in Gryffindor colours

That's all his stuff which was
4 dress shirts
2 new ties
2 Dune books that he didn't have (no idea what ones)
2 cassettes because his winter car is an old Toyota with a tape deck. I found them in a thrift store for 39 cents, it was Parallel Lines by Blondie and Beauty and the Beat by the Go-Go's.
And on Friday he gets his big present...one of these

Could have at least bought the other one.

It's still a very nice shoe/boot, very colourful.
