What are you getting YOURSELF for Christmas?? Come on, I know we all do it....we use the excuse of Christmas to buy what we didn't get from Santa! I just splurged a bit on Black Friday for myself!

1. I'll be treating myself to setting my tanks all back up, meaning some sponge filters and small equipment is going to be needed.
2. Also a couple of hefty orders of discus (Though this might be after Christmas and the tanks get going of course) ;D
3. I also just ordered myself 2 new computer monitors...yes 2 very nice 24" Samsung LCD flat screens! Very Happy GOTTA love Black Friday.

Most of all I'm just glad I'll be able to be home to celebrate it with family. So what are you treating yourself to this Christmas? hehe

Welcome home Matt.
Really, that's the best gift.
I ventured out today and took advantage of a Petsmart deal. 10 gallon with hood for $15.00.

Hmm... not sure yet
Thinking of maybe buying myself the sweet monitor I saw at London drugs, it works as both a tv and a computer screen. Would be perfect for a dual screen for my laptop.

Sigh no black friday here for me so I'll wait till boxing day

I splurged today and bought myself numerous items: 2 shirts, a purse, a 10 gallon fish tank with hood, a tennis bracelet, a pair of earrings, a movie, and a full body massage at the spa.

Now I'm trying to convince everyone they need to give me gift certificates to the spa for Christmas!

Well, my Christmas present to myself, is possibly a used 125 gallon long with stand for $300. My lfs has it but he's thinking of maybe putting his 3 Piranahs in it, since they are in a 55 gallon. I am deff getting a 125 gallon come Spring, so my present to myself is a Canister filter if I don't get the used tank now. Can't set it up until Spring anyways. I figured start buyin a few things now.

Hello Slug! WELCOME HOME! I just bought a Nikon CoolPix digital camera! :camera:Yeah!!!!
There is one more thing on my shopping list for myself and my fish. A 32" Vizio flat screen TV for my fish room. The fish can watch the TV when I'm not home

I've been treating myself all year to early Christmas presents with the 20+ tanks I've gotten from Craigslist. The most I'll probably do for myself at this point will be some headphones so I don't have to hear "Mom, I'm bored" for awhile

This is my gift to me.

I have been getting myself a lot of things... just not for christmas I'm so busy all the time T_T but I've bought some new dress shirts and a bunch 3 Colombian tetras and 3 phantom tetras I didn't get any new aquatic plants yet because I've got a lot of them my amazon swords are doing fine ... but I might ask my friends to get me the T5HO lights xD I hope they can get me it... but then again.. I'd have to get them something as expensive as what they are going to get for me too I hope they do otherwise I wouldn't go out buying the 32 gb iPod touches for all of them HAHA!

I am finally getting my first tattoo that I have been looking forward to for two years! I found the artist I want to use, so I am going in for a consultation with him this week. The tattoo is going to be a floral piece on the right side of my back. He's going to do some custom artwork, so I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Also, me and hubby decided to take our first vacation together EVER this Christmas, so we'll be going up to San Francisco for 5 days in December and I'm really looking forward to it

I've been looking at one of those auto-pump/filter aquarium vacuum thingios... It's on Drsfoster/smith website... The one with the built in filter you can recirc the water or pump it out the door.... I'm not thinking about recirc'ing the the water and reusing it, just getting a lil better vacuum action... Waste of money??

Well, it was going to be an XBox 360 Elite, but my boyfriend had the same idea and bought me one for xmas. Can't wait for xmas day now, so I guess I'll have to buy a nice new (prob quite small) HD TV in the Jan sales to enjoy my HD games!!! (Really hope I can afford one, money is NOT good at the moment...)
Cough, cough and maybe some plants for my tanks... Cough cough!!!

you can get a computer monitor instead, they're about half the price of an equivalent television...of course they don't have TV tuners built in either.

I don't watch TV, so it's no problem for me ;-D

BTW: My new 23" monitor is GIGANTIC. I'm afraid it's too big! I'll have to get used to it, I'm used to sitting close and squinting...squint no more!

Pepetj, if you don't mind me asking what do you do as an occupation? You're signature states you have a huge tank plus other medium sized tanks in your office...My work wouldn't allow to even have a 50 gallon in our cubicles...
