What did you GIVE for Christmas?

Ok so there is a thread for what you got for Christmas, but didn't see one for what you GAVE for Christmas.

I gave the following:
A model rocket to a friend who likes to build those.
Some random complete old school video games to friends who are also collectors.
DVDs to family members

I gave a bunch of shit to different people, but the one that's most appreciated: I snuck out a little picture of me and my brother from my mother's place, enlarged it, printed and framed it to replace a bigger copy of it that was destroyed years ago and gave it to my mother as part of her gift. I'm making another copy for my grandmother.
