Your Coolest Stocking Stuffers?

[photophorous]

I guess it's probably too early this year for most of you, but what are some cool stocking stuffers you've received in the past?

My girlfriend and I did our gift exchange last night. This year in my stocking I got two propacks of TriX 120 and four rolls of the new Velvia 50. How awesome is that? I plan to use the TriX in my Holga (did you hear that, Brian?). I never got to use the old Velvia 50, because I didn't know about it until it was already extinct, but I'm excited to try the new stuff. I put film on my Christmas list as a joke....never thought I'd actually get it.

Very cool Paul. My dad asked me a couple weekends ago if there was anything I needed for Christmas. Half jokingly as well, I said film and chemicals. Knowing I would be on vaca over Christmas and New Years, he stopped by a couple days after with money for me to stock right up. According to UPS tracking should have a couple bricks of Acros, a couple gray cards, and plenty of developer, fixer, and hypo waiting for me when I get home from work today

I found the coolest stocking stuffer though that I bought for Carla and her daughter, A BAG OF COAL

Ha! That is cool. Wish I had seen that a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, that coal would have come in handy! It's over a week until Christmas - you guys getting a little impatient?

...It's over a week until Christmas - you guys getting a little impatient?

Yeah. No, actually we leave for Colorado on Thursday morning, come back Sunday night, drive to East Texas Monday morning, and then drive back to Austin on Tuesday night. We're going to be busy, and we both have things going on this week before our trip, so it just made sense.

Nobody else has any cool stocking stuffers to talk about?!

It sounds like she knows you pretty well!
And maybe she even loves you too!

Film is a very serious matter my friend!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Merry Christmas!

I think I am getting a usb drum mat from my father-in-law in my stocking this year, along with some sugar free candy, and cool survival gadgets.

Well for the stocking I expect an IR filter for the Canon Powershot Pro 1, and a lasolite collapsible soft box thingy for my flash gun. Other than that main pressy my new PC is already in use, thanks to the old one failing last month.

Beware.....When a girlfriend gives you film this is very serious. We will all stay tuned to see what develops! I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself, Jeff LOL

Just how cool are these survival gadgets? I'm intrigued.

The irony is that she rarely lets me use the film on her. I have to sneak a shot like this one where she thought I was taking a picture of the cat.

And No, I didn't give her the cat. She was just playing with the bow.

Things like swiss army knives, MRE's, magnesium fire starters, things of that nature.
