haha! Badman. Awesome effort. Alvi and Guy or something? They'll love it.
Im working out my christmas present now in effect. Ive got into a bit of a tradition of getting all my distant relatives some kind of music that I think they'll like. This year im a wee bit skint, so just putting together a mix for everyone! Bit cheeky, but I love giving my family this stuff. My nan on grandad on my mums side especially, huge jazz fans, every memory I have of being in their house has jazz on in the background, oh really noticed how awesome it was later on growing up. But yeah, theyve really liked stuff in the past! Making a mix at the moment with really nice jazzy housey stuff at the moment, got some floating points, kontext, rhythm & sound, burial, four tet, nicolas jaar...will upload it on here in fact when I get it done

only managaed to save £160 this year for my fam.
feel like a bit of a tnuc coz even tho my rent and shit has gone up i could have saved a fair bit more if i didn't spend £50 - £60 a month on vinyl.
i like to give the kids, my little bro, neice n nethews £40 each. aint gonna happen this year. may sell my wii and some records and a few ps3 games to raise a little extra.
oh not to mention i buy treats for 4 dogs in my area plus my dog, i can't not buy em i'd feel too bad.

That's a cool gift Phrex! I won't mind receiving that at all.

I've been getting away with Starbucks gift cards to cousins the past couple of Christmases, but I feel like I'm cheating all the time. One Christmas, I actually screen printed my cousins a shirt. We have a big clan so it was a task doing it but it was fun! Holiday spirit and that. I also handmade jewelries for the girls. This year, I have no clue. I am making a gift bag but everything is bought. I was going to knit fingerless gloves or eternity scarves but I have no time. Anyway, this might get merged with the Christmas thread, although, it does say birthday on it.

just to say: this all cost me 30 swiss francs. about 23 BPS. the tunrtables being the most expensive. the rest is wood and stuff you find.
