Michigan Christmas gifts you got

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

The yearly thread.

I got a chrome helmet emblem and chrome license plate frame for my new car I bought last week. 2009 Ford Focus with only 47K miles on it! No more 2002 Chevy Prizm that had 120K+ and no A/C, power windows, driver side door handle.

I got a stained glass Michigan lamp as well that is still in the mail.

Probably my favorite is the physical copy of Endzone. Read the eCopy the day it came out but wanted the physical copy to show this to my future kids some day-

Just my 2 cents, but there are a whole bunch of watches that are cooler and a much better value than Shinola. The movement is basically no different than a $50 timex; and very few of the parts are actually made in Detroit ( or the US for that matter). You're basically paying for marketing hype and brand name.

I can try. Definitely not pretending to be an expert, but I really do like watches.

I'd start by googling the following: diver watches, pilot/aviator watches, dress watches and see, generally what look you prefer. Divers tend to be a little bigger/bulkier, but can be really cool. Dress watches are generally smaller and simpler looking. If you wear a suit regularly, a dress watch would probably be the way to go. I really like pilot watches, but like anything else, it basically comes down to personal preference. Anyways, happy to go into more detail if you're interested.

You know it is Christmas, right? The day of reflection and being caring and thankful? And you thought writing something like that would be funny or well-received. This is the kind of stuff that has to stop happening around here. The kid loves what he loves, and That's okay

I got endzone, an outline of the state of Michigan with a M in the center, Michigan calendar, and tickets to the basketball game against PSU. My next present is Mr. Delance/Davis commiting to Michigan next week.

Got some cool M stuff, but the best Christmas present has been spending time with the family and seeing my kids (including the MGoSophomore--home for break).

Turkey goes on the Weber kettle in about 4 hours. 3 hours over charcoal. And there'll be a Glenlivet in my favorite M tumbler.
