Same here.....I didn't want anything as I have been very blessed early in life and don't really "need or want" for much.  As long as the kids and wife are taken care of then all is good!

Lessee, I got a professional-style battery charger (the one on wheels), a watch, shop stool, a 20v Lithium Ion cordless drill, two sets of "Super Sockets" (one metric, one SAE, supposedly good for removing rounded off fasteners, we shall see), a set of adjustable wrenches, a ratcheting screwdriver, a new stereo for my truck, and an iPhone 4S (which I actually gave to myself, a month and a bit ago, but I'm calling it a Christmas present to justify spending the money on it). And oh yeah, my traditional crate of lobster...

if these are the ones like craftsman came out with a few years ago, the interior of the socket spirals with grabbing force in the counter clockwise direction,,,,
trust me you will be VERY VERY happy with them.

I have used them about a half dozen times and each time they did the job.

good to know someone has had good experiences with them.. i was looking at them, wanted to try them but i'm always a bit leary on stuff like that.. like the 'gator grip' sockets, they break easy

I got a whole bunch of hot sauce and storage ottoman. But I got my little boy his first batch of hot wheels and he flipped. It was pretty cool him asking what each make and model was.

I got a 205 piece Stanley tool set, a DIY clutch kit for my TSW2 Modified (now it's even more modified), a few t-shirts, and more importantly I got to spend a lot of time w/the family. Something that seems to happen very little these days...
