The Christmas Loot Thread
Post your hauls here!
--- I was told by my worse half to buy my own present, because she cannot remember all of the tools I asked for. F YEAH CHRISTMAS! Tools... so many tools! Hakko FX-888 40W adjustable-temp soldering station Maxtech 32-bit (not the digital type!) micro screwdriver set Olympia Tools smartphone repair kit Sinometer 1000W/20A replacement test leads Micro USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy smartphones (easy download mode woo!) Going to buy a boatload of guitar picks of various thicknesses (for opening cases and removing LCDs, separating glued bits and pieces) and some tweezers as well. I'm too lazy to bother with a heat gun... a hairdryer works fine for melting glue on broke phones, and it can't get hot enough to damage anything... a lighter works for activating heat-shrink tubing. Waiting to hear back on a Craigslist ad for a brand-new (back-stocked or somesuch thing, since they're discontinued now) LG DM-441B bench-style true-RMS multimeter. I will be able to do so much SCIENCE with all of this! Also, non-tool things that were obtained: JVC HA-S400B collapsible headphones (more comfy than extended wear of earphones, for use while studying) A crapload of games on Steam o_o --- As for what my present to my partner, well, she's still trying to decide what she wants. It's probably going to be either a phone that doesn't have a huge piece of dust under the screen or a metric buttload of music.

450 pounds in cash
That's it really. I find it easier for myself and my mother if I buy all the items since it will be things such as manga, anime etc which my mother isn't familiar about I can say though it was upsetting having no presents to open however XD I also got a 20 pound voucher for Waterstones and an electric beard trimmer

All in all a very good Christmas. Tight times, but everyone found some money to gift to each other which is always great. A nice thing about time passing is being able to make others smile thanks to your gifts.
The haul: Guild Wars 2 (PC) Assassin's Creed III: Liberation (Vita) 'The Summer Tree' by: Guy Gavriel Kay PSN Gift Card Razer Lycosa Keyboard

Not having to spend Christmas with parents + grandparents. Best gift ever =P
Don't feel like spending money just because it's Christmas so I didn't buy myself anything either. Edit: I just got charged for this, so I guess this counts: Last edited by Xion Valkyrie; 2012-12-25 at 19:39. |
