Your Christmas presents to you

No chance. No room and no interest in practicing!
I bought a Spark 40 for myself and one for my son also. What an amazing little amp, for playing my guitar. Bass does not sound good through it though and i have the small bass practice amp thing covered anyway.
A set of these which may just be the end of string swaps after a few decades...
Heck why not, just picked it up at noon. Fender Player to go with my other two and the Squier CV. The Squier has the jumbo LaBella 1954 flatwounds, one precision has regular size LaBellas, the jazz has DR Pure Blues roundwounds, last precision will keep the stock Fender roundwounds for now.
That's it, I really have to downsize from here, maybe give one away every decade or so.

No basses or amps for me but I could use a new pair of studio monitors and this guy needs a trip to Forat for an expensive and extensive refurb
Not sure if these will be considered as such (we'll see how good the missus - I mean Santa - can pick for me), but these could end up being considered my gifts to me:
I've definitely gotten worse before!

I already put the one bass item that was part of my Christmas present, soon to be returned.
But this was the 2nd year my wife and I were empty nesters, mortgage free and decided to get some presents for our birthdays and Christmas combined. Materials for the family cabin and a new 5x10 ft aluminum trailer to haul things from home to the lake.
Material to build new stairs and replace 4 sections of soffit. My wife was my capable assistant to do the work.
The new trailer, more mine maybe but it gets a ton of use in our family.

Not bass related but a happy wife since I've been fixing her car. So it might end up being bass related...
Nothing too fancy, just an LHZ-01 Hazlab clone for the Spector. Can't wait.
Last night I won $160 so I'm thinking I might put it towards an inexpensive, but awesome LP guitar copy I know of (on special, but in my least favourite finish) or a new rack tuner as my 20yo one just died. The guitar would still have a little out of pocket.
I don't give myself anything for Christmas or birthday (a few days after Christmas), but if I were to do such a thing this year, it would be a CCW.
Once I pay for Buyee's shipping, this puppy. A totally-not-Greco TB900!
Making plans to sell gear to fund this, but once get my reinbursement check from my phone's insurance, THESE on it!

I bought myself a relatively-period-correct gold buckle for my 70-year-old (early 50's) Omega Automatic, as well as a new strap. The watch was a gift from my mom and dad.

Haha not really but for guitars I like the look of maple fretboards and find them easier to see my way around. For bodies black or white, colours will bother me after a while. Mint or black pickguards, maybe those anodized aluminum ones too.
I keep saying this is it, no reason to have more than one, but you know, soon.
