Now that's love-- a truly great gift.

Oh, and the book is a prize too!

Monopoly game recipients: do you like it? I'm considering...

I was excited about getting a new page-a-day calendar (from the movies) for 2007...I had one in 2004 and 2005 and really enjoyed them. Last year I said to myself...."get a life!" enough LoTRs movie stills

....so I got a boring garden page a day. Hated it!

So..... I got excited when I saw a movie calendar page-a-day box at the mall. But when I opened it up...each page has a very large, dumb ring....smack dab in the center (with the date # inside the ring ).....365 big rings

bleah! Plus ...the pictures were rather dark and grainy...not beautiful like 2004 and 2005 calendars I had. Maybe I should look on the internet....

Get the big format monthly calendar - illustrated by Alan Lee, it's lovely! And if you want something on your desk, get the matching desk diary.

[QUOTE=Lalwendë]Get the big format monthly calendar - illustrated by Alan Lee, it's lovely![QUOTE]I and my sister got it too (from Noggie). It's really beautiful and lovely indeed.

I also got a few of HoME. My friend gave me The Lays of Beleriand and my father and his parents gave me both of Lost Tales, The Lost Road, Morgoth's Ring and War of the Jewels. Now I have something to read!

I'm not sure if we can advertise (and I don't work for them) - but if anyone wnats a late christmas prezzie and they haven't got it, then woolworths (in enlgand) are selling the ROTK extended edition for £3.99. Bargain!

Almost bought one (even though I've got it) cos my 8 year old keeps nicking my copy to watch on his dvd player!

PS - I got nothing LOTR related, but my boy got a load of Games Workshop figures (inlcuding the Mumakil at £50 for a bit of plastic!

) that I'm having to put together and paint for him...........

A few of my suitemates were thoughtful enough to give me a collector's edition card of Aragorn, as well as a copy of Unfinished Tales. I was quite excited- especially about the latter.

I got:
Two books from the HoME
One poster (I have 5 that I am not using already)
and just before christmas my mom had been in Germany and brought me a small 2007-lotr calender
