heh I know what you mean Halx, my grandfather died a few years back and left me his entire tool kit, he was a wood worker, needless to say, it was a large collection. That Christmas, I still received the complementary set of screwdrivers from not one but 2 loved ones. One being my mother whose father passed away, and she personally drove the uhaul truck with all his tools in it to my place.
after that, we started to make list for our selves. We let each other know what we want. Either by hinting or by giving out a list. The real fun is disguising the presents so they don’t look like what they are (keeps the mystery)
Sorry to hear your stash was small. Maybe next year don’t be a heathen
