No, not the secret santa thread.
This is the: What did you get for your hobby on the big day?
My wife got me the 33 packs of Peter Pig ACW I needed to wrap collecting ACW figures! (okay, so I selected and ordered them but I had to wait until the Big Day to unwrap them and now they are sorted and will get worked on - eventually!). And we won't count the order I've been itching to do for years, I finally sent off my order for some of the lovely stuff from Baueda - but it won't arrive until into the new year. And that might be my last hobby order. There is now nothing I want that I am aware of that is made that I don't already have. Unless someone knows where I can order an additional forty years of youthful energy!
So, what made your hobby day?

For me it was an entirely hobby free day...
Though I did get the Randall Munroe book "How To...".

Got some goodies from friends and family.
A few sets of rules that I asked the kids for. The base set of a fist full of lead and the Napoleonic supplement. The Contact front rules, I bought myself after reading up they were good, so this is a little light reading over the holiday.
Then there’s a very nice 1/200 modern building and a set of bill boards for my 1/200 Cold War, if I ever get it to the table.
Then at the front there is a fine set of medieval coasters for the shed, so we don’t spill our drinks during the next game.
And finally, a super scratch build artillery piece by has.been. It’s for our 28mm Askari games. It’s to represent one of the guns removed from the SMS Konigsberg.

No hobby related stuff for me this year, but then, that's the same as every year

Here it is on January 6, although I know what my presents will be: a brush set from Artis Opus, slippers and Dominic Lieven's book on Russia in WWI.

That is what I always think. I have got everything I need. I can stop now and play with what I have.
Then I go on LAF and there is something new and shiny!

No presents till Saturday when the brother's family come into town. Only one I know of that's "hobby" related is 500 rounds of 9mm ammunition...and that's simply because the tiny box weighs about 12 lbs.
Even my brother couldn't hide that fact when he handed it over to me.
We don't do much in the way of presents in my family, so I'm not expecting anything wargaming related, honestly.

From my lovely wife, a Deepcut 6' x 4' clouds over the countryside (for my WW1 aerial),
and courtesy of our local Aquarium shop moving, two bits of scenery at 50% off.
From friends a made up MDF storage tank unit (see the Fight at Yb-Gur thread) and
an un-made Sci-Fi habitat. Happy days.

Hm...I got a gift card to a woodworking store. Knowing me, the odds are that it eventually turns into leadworking or at least foamworking, somehow.
No new lead, but I'm already sitting on top of a lead mountain of madness so maybe better that way.
However, I received my Death May Die game box this month, which may require its own slot in the painting queue...
The best gift, by far, has been a full week of free time for cleaning up the general mess and restarting some projects. I'd need more of those.

I got a Skeleton Ogre from my Daughter (I had pointed her in the right direction) & the fantastic surprise of the Gripping Beast Witch from my Wife, that was totally unexpected

If you are lucky, you might get the airbrush for your birthday maybe ?
