Got my first Home Depot gift card of the season today. Figured we might as well have a thread to post up our loot. 

 

Let's see it! ?

I got a 25 HD card from the in laws and I hoping my wife hooks me up solid with a nice gift card as well

Im looking to use them toward the new Ego cordless blower or back pack blower. Not sure which one yet. I wish they sold the handheld blower with the 5ah battery.

So is this limited to gifts from other people or can we count gifts we give ourselves because my relatives wouldn't understand why I really needed a BR700 and a set of new woodpecker T-Squares?

It doesn't matter who paid for it. Post it up!

I already hit my limit with the miter saw and stand, no more X-mas gifts for me until next year...

The kids hooked me up with the complete series of The Sopranos on Blu-Ray. 

 

Mrs. Conductor stayed true to form and got me the 7 Piece Hammer & Dolly set from Eastwood I was eyeing. It's a big step for her to order tools for me without my verifying it's the right thing, but she did good. She also got me the Key to Metal Bumping, the definitive start up guide for decades.

These are not Martin quality tools, but for what I do, I don't need Martin quality nor could a Martin price be justified. 

 

There is undoubtedly more to come ?

You don't have to tell me that! I try to wear the same clothes when I am in the shop because I always get covered in glue and sawdust. And CA glue DOES NOT come out!

yup wife buys me white T-shirts, then gives me crap for wearing them in the shop......the minute I get in the shop it's dirty if I happen to work with paduak wood it will become red and the shirt will stay red ....so I ask her can't you just buy me red shirts?

My nephews bought me a six pack of micro-brew beer and some whiskey... They gave up trying to guess what tools I don't already have years ago.

as much as I want to open up new tools christmas morning I don't get any cause they all are to worried if I need it or not or if I have it or not....I told them anything over $1000 cuts down the chances I have it and most likely will cut down the chances I don't need it.....they just laugh.......lol

Good stuff guys

Yeah hard to gift us tool freaks lol so gift cards are common. 

$100 card to the new Big R store from work 

$75 Lowes card from my wife's grandparents.... But she's been looking at getting some new paint for the dining room. 

M18 compact jobsite blower from her grandparents also, they asked me specifically tho, so that's what I requested. I told them about the sale price at acme during November so that was cool of them!

Money from my parents and hers might just go to a few tool purchases....

I get $150 cash from my wife's grandparents every year for as long as I can remember. What I don't remember is ever actually getting to spend any of it.

Been eye groping that hammer and dolly set for just over two years now. Let us know how it feels.
