Ah, coffee never fails as a Christmas gift.
An excellent idea.
A gift to myself - which materialised shortly before Christmas - comprised two different types of Ethiopian coffee beans, one "washed" and the other "natural".

I received an 8qt Instant Pot that doubles as an air fryer. I broke the air fryer in with some Buffalo wings that turned out pretty great. I'll have to look into what else I can make with it.
Well, I didn’t elaborate on that, but as a collector, (I can’t post them here), a collection of 30+ firearms, some vintage, some modern, some limited editions, ect, the collection itself is actually impressive given you can’t find some of these firearms anywhere in the world.
It truly is. I’d ask you how your Christmas was, but, if I recall correctly, You don’t celebrate it from my understanding.Because it’s the season of peace and goodwill to all mankind!
100%. December 25th is just like every other day of the year in the AFB household.
I bought an instant pot which is just the standard pressure cooker version a couple of years ago and have used it hundreds of times now. There are times when I use it a few times a week. Enjoy, they make great products.
Can never go wrong with getting power tools!I got:

And a bottle of Polo Blue
Willing to trade gifts? I'm sure I can spare a few pairs of socks ?
No, thanks.
Actually, when I first read that post, I didn't realise that it is a joke.
But, still, no, thanks.
"Washed" and "naturally dried" are two different ways of treating coffee beans once they have been picked.
What is of interest is that the same coffee bean crop can result in two coffees that taste quite different depending on how they were "treated" (whether "washed" or "naturally dried" usualy referred to as "natural") when they were picked.
Coincidentally, the same treatments apply for socks.
Not sure whether this is a joke, a something supposed to be a witty piece of writing, or a statement of fact.
Anyway, I do own socks, and I do wash socks.
However, I drink coffee.
One of the presents we bought for the kids but my wife and I have used mostly so far.

How is it? Seen it advertised (Thanks to the absolutely lovely Laura Whitmore in the adverts ?).
Mostly whisky/whiskey (Woodford Reserve and Monkey Shoulder), Warhammer 40K models and an electric mixer!
As per, I got some socks. Can't go wrong!

It’s actually really good to be honest. I keep fit anyway but the activities on this certainly get the heart pumping! You could use it as part of a workout routine I would say
.Laura is a stunner too
Wine (preferably good wine), cheeses, and beer (serious, artisan, and Belgian for preference, though others are good, too), never fail to hit the spot as appropriate, appreciated (and devoutly welcomed) gifts.
Books, I prefer to choose for myself.
Likewise, music, unless I have asked for something specific, or someone knows my preferences very well.

I got clothes and gift cards! Because of hoarding greedy people everything else I wanted was sold out like the Xbox or PS5.
Couldn’t even get a Nintendo Switch because people are just hoarding everything.

I bought this in the fall. It’s been a big hit with the whole family!!![8490851f6ef3f07c29691db5dd74c787.jpg]()

I considered my 12 Pro Max and my series 6 watch my early Christmas presents to myself but then had to have a case and then some extra bands for Christmas too. I got a leatherman multi tool from my brother-he knows I love tools and a bit of money!!
The Leatherman tool is a very nice gift and well made. I got one from my brother several years back.
- Treated myself to an M1 MacBook Air. I figured I deserved an upgrade.
- Got AirPods Pro from my girlfriend. Wow, they are so good!
- New Chelsea Boots and Evo Car of The Year magazine from my uncle and his girlfriend.
- "New iPhone-contribution" from my mother and grandparents. Just sold my old iPhone X as well, but I'm still debating over 12 mini vs 12.
Very thankful.
