Michigan gear you got for Christmas?
The usual thread posted every year!
I got a 2014 Michigan calendar, a $50 MDen gift card, some adidas socks & boxers, a Maize adidas M knit hat to replace the one I got at my first game back in 2003. Also a $150 VISA gift card which I will buy this beauty with-
Probably my favorite gift is an 8x10 of Shawn Hunwick's final steps off the ice at Yost.
Honorable mention- $30 in gift cards from family for White Castle.
Merry Maize and Blue Christmas!

Does spending the week in Ann Arbor with my sons, both Michigan Alums, and a couple of grandkids, count? There is enough Michigan gear here to compete with M-Den.

Negging people on Christmas? How rude!

Last year featured a Michigan-heavy set of gifts for me with a few t-shirts, a hat and even a Michigan polo which I wear to work on occasion. This year, I managed to land a Michigan hoodie - actually the first new hoodie I have had in ages, so that will get quite a bit of wear in this weather, I am sure. Like the OP, I also got an MDen gift card because, to paraphrase my wife, the store exists in our bedroom closet.
December 25th, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
...to save my pennies to spend at The MDen.

More Charles Woodson than Michigan, but still counts in my book.

Did the warm looking scenery come with the bottle?
December 25th, 2013 at 7:20 PM ^

This bottle of Corona hasn't given me shit.. Guess I'll drink enough until I feel like I'm in another land!
December 25th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
Customized in Maize and Blue colors! It's great!

I got a Vamos Azul shirt and a "Those who stay will be champions" banner to hang in my basement.
December 25th, 2013 at 11:12 AM ^
Myself a sweatshirt. Swag
December 25th, 2013 at 11:17 AM ^
Sldr tp 3-wood.....best fairway to hit the market in years

4 tickets to the game against Holy Cross. We are only in country for two weeks so I am fired up to see a game and check out the new Crisler.
We also bought the kids t-shirts for the game and maize and blue socks. I'll make a M Den run with some of the cash I picked up. Not sure what I will get but I'm definitely picking up a shirt for my driver in China. I have to spread the love to new places!

But we get eight crazy nights!

Got a game program and a ticket from the 1936 game against Penn, which is extra cool for me (I went there for grad school after undergrad at U of M). A pretty awesome job by the wife this year.
December 25th, 2013 at 11:26 AM ^
Package of Michigan Kleenex from my dad so I can "dry my tears". I had a good laugh.
December 25th, 2013 at 3:37 PM ^
I could have used those...
My wife picked me up these for the "boo boos"
December 25th, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
First time in my memory I don't recall getting anything Michigan related. It may be because I didn't ask for anything. I'll be glad when 2013 is through.
December 25th, 2013 at 11:41 AM ^
I got the Hail, yes! Paper from the day after the 97 rosebowl game with Woodson pointing to the sky framed. I love my soon to be wife!
December 25th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
I've been meaning to pick that up and get it framed, haven't gotten around to it yet. Was that the Detroit News or Free Press that sells those things? Thanks!
December 26th, 2013 at 12:59 AM ^
Free press
December 25th, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
Somewhere I have the Daily commemorative edition from after the OSU game, signed by just about everyone on that team except Woodson. Should get that framed eventually. Got all of the signatures at the Football Bust.
During dinner, my buddy and I noticed Griese got up to go to the bathroom, and being the enterprising 12 year olds we were, we got up too and waited outside in the hall to get a quick signature. Ended up getting a shoutout in his speech later that night.

I found my 1999-2000 Michigan basketball jersey in my old dresser and it still fits. The perks of being husky in my youth.
December 25th, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
First time since...ever.
Does it count if I just bought a Tom Harmon autograph for myself. It arrived on Monday?
Merry Xmas?
December 25th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
My wife got me an autographed photo of Jim Harbaugh..nice!
December 25th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
And a maize Climalite hoodie
December 25th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
...a finished wooden box engraved with the Block M! They wouldn't do it in maize and blue because they were worried about copyright infringement, so they did it in gold.
I had also asked for a Michigan bracelet...kind of like the old 'livestrong' bracelets, but she had a hard time finding them; apparent Michigan only sells huge, thick ones that look like the bar bracelets that let everyone know you're old enough to drink. Don't suppose anyone on the site knows where I could get a normal sized one?
December 25th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
You mean like the MGoBlue for Motts cause bracelets?
December 25th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
Wife said no way in hell does that come into the house. Currently building man cave in the garage. Women just dont understand!
December 25th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
M slippers, M flippy floppies, M fleece, M camo workout shirt. MGOMerryChristmas!
December 25th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
This year my wife went with a UTL1 theme. She got me an autographed Denard Jersey from the game and an autographed photo. She also got me a photo signed by Roy Rountree of his game winning catch from the game. We don't own a home yet, but when we get one this will be a great start to my Michigan Man Cave
December 25th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
I received the 2014 football calendar, a really nice Michigan hoodie, and most importantly, my acceptance letter from UofM!(got that one a few days early) All in all a great holiday
December 25th, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
Congratulations on being accepted.
December 25th, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
congratulations!
December 25th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
Did it come by email with that cool video or was it an actual letter?
December 25th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
My Michigan family sent my boys each a Michigan jersey and a Michigan football. They are 5 and 1. My 3 year old daughter got a Michigan cheerleader outfit.
As a non-drinker, I've always used a Michigan Koozie as a cell phone case. This year I was surprised with a Michigan phone case for my S4. Pretty stoked.
Wife also framed my favorite pick of my 3 kids wearing Michigan gear early in the fall. All 3 were representing and smiling. Will go up in my office!
Also got a new GoRuck bag! Nothing to do with Michigan, but is freaking sweet!
December 25th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
A new outdoor flag, 1/4 zip sweatshirt and pajama pants. Pretty happy with it all.
December 25th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
I suck at embedding pictures ... but my bother put together a promo event with Desmond Howard and Jalen Rose for the Notre Dame weekend. He had them sign this and gave it to me for Christmas:

Hold on to that one. That's a great collectors-type item
December 26th, 2013 at 2:41 AM ^
license plates
EDIT: and I still have my 30M MGoPoints! It's a Festivus miracle!
EDIT: Not anymore. Having all that imaginary power was fun while it lasted.
December 26th, 2013 at 8:46 AM ^
having the points taken away must prove that some one "cantstandya!"
December 26th, 2013 at 7:02 PM ^
until 11:59 on Christmas, when he swooped in and took them. Sorry.
December 25th, 2013 at 12:42 PM ^
Shirt...which concealed tickets to the Minnesota game on March 1st! Not bad
December 25th, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
