I've seen a few topics where people have mentioned buying themselves a few Christmas presents for 2015 Christmas, so I wondered what people have gone for and what everyone is being bought?
I've decided to field trial the new Ayrtek helmet so that's my pressie to me. What's yours? Are you expecting something exciting and cricket shaped from family or friends? Tell all!
-
A H4L bat sleeve haha and a B3 Pepsi but it's not coming until the new year! Bought my brother a GN Duffle for Xmas if that counts!
-
Ayrtek field trial also(although not sure if it will arrive before Xmas). Got a net 27th and 30th so it will get a run out there.
Bought myself the thin edge Warner with the works Xmas bonus so that counts I think.!
-

Got this for myself. The missus is surprised I haven't opened it yet. Little does she know it has had 2 coats of oil. Ready to knock in on Christmas Day. The bang bang bang of the mallet on willow is an excellent way of getting rid of the family on Christmas Day.

Thats a gorgeous "piece of wood" :D
What shape is that? Whats made you go for that shape?
-
Got the Tonto changed a few things and added 1271 Trott shoulders and make a massive bill countering extra weight in the shoulders and ducking it.
Result I like it streaky not sure but as I tell him leave it to me
Think my days of creating new stuff is over can't really beat for my personal choice Tonto or xlphon for me had a blast doing it.

Those SS gloves are tasty
-
i'll be field testing an ayrtek as well.
also getting a set of strippers but waiting for stretton to show theirs off before deicing which ones.
my brother got me a pair of adidas spikes from vitas cricket.
-
My wife got me the DC1080 New Balanxe batting gloves. Excellent service as always @Vitas Cricket
-
I've got some new spikes! Decided to spike them up so I could get them in my bag and out the way! There's one spike that's refusing to screw in, I've just had to put them away so I can start drinking and hopefully succeed after an energy boost!!!!
-
Any of the forum sponsors running some Boxing Day sales?
-
@rickjames
Looks like AllRounder are running one - not a forum sponsor, but I guess others will be if they are. I would say seems good (promised up to 60% off in general and up to 25% off 2016 stuff), but the link on the website doesn't work, so you can't view it! Some IT Guru is now in trouble haha!
-
Got some Asics ODI spikes from the grandma, tell you what they look even better in the flesh!!
-
I bought myself on behalf of the wife a GoPro camera to capture some cricket action this year. It'll also be fun to see my shocking technique!
-
No kit but I did get 2 tickets for day 3 of the first test against Pakistan at edgebaston and a lords tour plus some cash in a card that said "treat yourself" ok I will once the car bill is paid :(
-
Lucky enough to get a supernova duffle and some new balance 4030 spikes :)
Merry Christmas all :)

My Masuri helmet is still in transit. Got a great deal on it!

Lovely looking kit @No.4 could I ask where you got the Ton grip from? Cheers

Ordered the grip from India via eBay. It was a pack of three and none of them matched the listings picture! Luckily I preferred it.

Got my Masuri for christmas :) And tickets to the Edgbaston test!
Treated myself to a stemguard too as I was given some moneys!

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any cricket-related presents.. However, my generosity got the better of me with my family as I gifted my two brothers some absolute beauties of bats; Original LE GM Icon, and Kippax Pureblade. Followed by my old man getting a GM Original Octane. All perfectly well, but I am supposed to be a student :( :o
-
Got a Shrey Masterclass Air titanium helmet (thanks mum) and the shrey stem guard with at no extra cost (thanks talent cricket) and a couple of one to one coaching sessions.
Still got my birthday tomorrow so this may be added to :D

Yeah i went to rearange mine and it turns out where the divider goes in is too low down for pads to fit in. But i then discovered after months of not using the bag and being in the boot of my car untouch one of the zips has come away from the material. Not even had it a year, sent GM an email see what they will do.
