Filmmaker 12-25-06 05:17 PM

None (outside of a $25 Best Buy Gift Certificate), but that's becoming the standard in my house--I buy everything I want the week it comes out, in order to a) get the best price, b) have the peace of mind that I own it and c) ensure I get the exclusive bonus DVD, if a retailer offers one for any given title. What I did get that the above practice has made me desperate for is a new locking DVD storage cabinet that holds approximately 450 DVDs! :thumbsup:

If I adopted you, I wouldn't get as much stuff! I'm selfish like that! :)

My mom loves to see the look on our faces when we open up our gifts, and she makes enough money running her business to get us lots of them! Hell, I'm not gonna complain one bit!
