So, what presents did you give? Get? We’d especially love to hear from folks who used our gift guides to buy (or make) presents and how your recipients liked them.

    It was a gamer’s Christmas for me this year, not a maker’s Christmas. I got the Call of Cthulhu card game, and Tannhauser, the alt.history WWI/WWII boardgame. Also got an Andy Warhol action figure. Sweet.

    Got my boyfriend some tools (universal package opener, and the utilikey to name a few) from the Make’s toolbox gift guide and he loved them! And he got me the lilypad arduino kit! Best. Christmas. Ever.

    The biggest items for me were a PS3 and a new Hakko soldering station.
