I have one of those. It is very handy. My CB panel is well labeled but I still like using the Klein to verify.

My wife got me a fancy Garmin exercise tracking watch.
I had no idea such a thing existed - sounds great! Do you have a Klein part number?
It's probably this kit: KLEIN ET310KIT. I've also seen them at Home Depot and Lowes.
Husky work lights. Wife says she and my son caught them on a deal for $15 ea. The under hood one has a motion sense on/off which is handy when hands are dirty.

I enjoyed everything this year. My parents were sad they couldn’t get me much but that was ok because I enjoyed Christmas. We didn’t get to go to grandmas but we are going Sunday because our event moved to Sunday due to aunt having kidney stones. But as far as my gifts my sister got me some Virginia license plates. First time in years she’s gotten any of us a gift lol. My parents got me a sun shade for my car and a Volkswagen Beetle t shirt and an Eddie Bauer jacket which is really nice. My Secret Santa on my other forum got me a bunch of nice stuff like a mini toolbox, 10mm socket set, vintage cans, some nice Snap-on pliers, license plates and a gold Icon ratchet. My other Secret Santa got me a vintage oil can, a nice set of stubby wrenches, a vacuum gauge, vintage push button starter for cars, clutch alignment tool, another pair of Snap-on pliers, and a nice work light.
My best friend got me a SpongeBob Trouble game and some SpongeBob plushies and a blanket with airplanes and some candy. I really appreciate him thinking about me too. His mom scraped to get me stuff and still came up short and a nice gentleman gave her the rest to cover it. I got him some nice gifts as well lots of soap and deodorant as he requested and some body wash and new toothbrushes and cologne and body spray and an antenna for his tv. Every penny of his paycheck goes to his rent and two bills and so I try to help his mom out with his other expenses like care items or food or whatever he needs at the time so I stocked him up for Christmas.

I bought my wife a Dutch oven and dad a 1/2 Milwaukee impact gun. I bought the Home Depot kit and kept the batteries. He has plenty of batteries.
He has a last gen Milwaukee 1/2 impact that died after 6 uses. So I am going to take his and try to fix it for me.

Why not use warranty on that Milwaukee?
I got some little rechargeable handwarmers, really cool or hot actually and a jacketshirt so I can look like @AutoMechanic
Out of warranty
I'm not sure you have what it takes to pull off the AM look, @Pablo. But then again AM might not either. I certainly don't, LOL.
M12 or M18? (Idle curiousity; I recently bought a Milwaukee M18 1/2" impact driver to replace "Old Faithful" - the Mastercraft corded driver I bought in 1999, which finally died.)
We don't buy each other anything anymore. There is no point, we both buy what we want or need anytime.
We bought our van. So now broke, living down by the river. In a van.

Pretty much the same - just ask UPS, FedEx, or USPS …
We have continued our stocking stuffing tradition - only a few years back the holder became Carhartt stocking caps
My girls got me a tonneau cover for my new truck, but I had to install it. It the least they could have done 
I bought my wife a 10.5" tempered glass pan lid. She gripes twice a day about "No lid for this pan"
I also bought her some Keen HD slippers. She was griping about her old slippers and mentioned mine are nice.
She thanked me and said "You actually listened to me"
That's all I needed!!

Received a Sunbeam Electric Throw. Works great. Will use in a few days.

Santa got me a toolbox. Was ordered on Black Friday and came in Dec 23. Looking forward to getting a hutch and side box and organizing my tools.
