My youngest just started working at Harbor Freight and gave me a spotting scope that he bought with his first paycheck. A HF spotting scope is nothing to fawn over, but his pride and excitement over giving it to me made it seem somewhat Swarovski-ish in quality. We used it yesterday when we were pre-hunt checking the smoke poles at the shooting range and it worked just fine.
Aside from that I got some of Mom's special nut-ball cookies to bring home and some candied pecans from a buddy's Mom. Couldn't ask for more!
Both boys got a USA made Buck rubber handled fixed blade, a USA made PH1 Schrade and Little Finger... those were tough to find and pricey but well worth it. Both got quality cold and warm weather camo hunting rain gear and orange pack vests like dear old Dad's.
This was only their second year that they both chose to indulge deer hunting. Oldest took his first last year and youngest took his first this year so they're properly hooked and needed proper outfitting.
Ran across a couple of Nikon Prostaff 2-7x shotgun scopes NIB for $75 each and just couldn't say no. So they both got Weaver bases, quick detach rings, and a set of the TruGlo steel vent rib clamp on sights so that they could still use the shotguns once the scope was detached and the base stayed installed. Those went in their stockings and now they have optics on their turkey shotguns like I've always used.
I spoil them I know, but it's a selfish thing because that's what I get my real kick out of at Christmas.

Oh! I did buy myself a Christmas present. Picked up one of the Yildiz pistol grip 12 ga. camo shotguns at Academy Sports and topped it with one of the Weaver Kaspa 1-4x with quick detach rings.
I know I know... Turkish?!?!?
It is a darn light and slick handling shotgun and the glass is awesome, so we'll see if it pans out.
