Hope I could get my first Bro cap with this giveaway. That would be a great way to end my year haha
UPDATE:
Here are several images of what I've received from my family and friends this christmas. Sort of a mix and match with a theme.
2x of the GTX 970 MSI 4g Gaming edition
(http://i.imgur.com/DmrIFbL.jpg)
4x Noctua NF-F12 fans
A6000 with a lense kit
E30mm F3.5 Macro lens
30mm f2.8 DN art lense
Water ultimate 3.0 AIO
Maximus Hero VII
These were all gifts to me by my family and close friends. I have been using a 7 year old computer (Got it when I moved to the USA from the Philippines) and it has been running really slow because of old specs and I have always wanted to get an upgrade for years since my old PC can't handle video rendering nor can it handle Visual Studio that well.

The best gifts I've received for Christmas would be my Family. My baby just turned 10 months on the 23rd of December and she also walked for the very first time unsupported on Christmas day, not only that, I was also able to see my grandmother for the Holiday which is great since I have not seen her in over 6 years.

Finally an image of a Christmas gift I got for myself:
Pulse Key Set, 400 LEDs and a granite set which isn't in the picture.
(http://i.imgur.com/JIGpbSF.jpg)
Hope this wins me my very first Bro cap treasure. I've only seen it once in person during Hoff's meetup at his flat and I could do nothing but admire theem.
MX Whitewalker if possible other wise any will do since I have both Topres and MX boards.

In the foreground is the bittersweet Christmas gift, an HTC One M8. I haven't had a phone upgrade in 5 years or so. Finally was able to get one because Sprint was having a big sale on them and it died on me after 10 days of use on Christmas Eve. It shut itself off and won't turn back on. I don't even think it's charging.
Edit: Got it replaced today. It died died for who knows what reason.
(http://i.imgur.com/8iI16qH.jpg)
Edit: I have no switch preference since I've been using Topre and MX equally as much lately. I'll say Topre preferred though MX might go better with my current set ups, especially since stumpy would be perfect for OG cherry colors with GMK green mods.
Thanks for the cool little giveaway!

Not gonna lie, I'm praying for RNGesus so hard right now, since I don't have any Bro Caps, hopefully I'll get lucky this time.
P/S: I would love to have a Topre cap for my HHKB P2. :)

The real story though is what I got the wife and how I gave it to her. She has been wanting a mothers ring since our daughter was born. She turns 2 tomorrow. So, I got her one from one of the best jewelers in town. For the presentation I gave it to her as a legendary quest line. The amusing thing here is the legendary item for the current expansion pack in WoW is a ring. My version was much simpler. I made it a scavenger hunt where she had to follow clues around the house to get to the end quest reward. The starter quest was a note in the ring box. The clues led her to her keyboard, to our sons box of crayons, the washing machine, mail box, the umbrella, and then to a clock that has a hidden compartment meant for a pistol. This final clue simply said turn left where the ring was directly in front of her hidden on a branch of the tree.
Edit: MX please if I by some chance win.

(Apologize about the picture quality, a potato and a lighter may have produced better results!)
Varmilo VA87M with MX Clears in Side Printed PBT Mint Keycaps
(Similar model available on MD right now)
(http://i.imgur.com/uGX8RCN.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/wxStPww.jpg)
Coming from Noppoo Choc Mini with Browns, I can see why the fuss about Clears, the hype is real y'all!
And the stock PBT caps feel amazing coming from those slick POMs :cool:
KEYCOOL 22-Key Keypad with Kailh Blacks in Backlit ABS Keycaps
(http://i.imgur.com/cJxt9RS.jpg)
The Black switches feel decent enough, I am not a fan of linear switches, but the force required to press the keys feels very smooth.
Speaking of smooth, the ABS keycaps are slick (not as bad as those POMs) but the Backlit looks great.
It is worth noting that this Keypad came with a set of non-Backlit White PBT Keycaps.
One of my favorite features of this Keypad is the inclusion of Esc, Tab, and Backspace keys - great for data entry!
Oddly, when pressing shift while Num Lock is enabled, the code it outputs is what it would be had the Num Lock been disabled.
For example, Shift+NumPad 7 produces Home - which probably wouldn't be a problem normally, except when I was attempting to assign the Keypad keys to my Razer Naga for WoW Keybinds.
Adapted already I have, avoided death has been.
Both items included Keycap pullers.
I typed this on the Varmilo. Lightyears better than the MX Browns on the Choc Mini. Typing errors decreased dramatically already!
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to all my fellow Geek Hackers! ;D
(My switch preference is MX)

Well, it's been an odd Christmas for me this year. As you can see in the picture, its just cash and Omega Ruby (that I bought for myself).
I was going to go shopping with my fam, but couldn't due to recent severe sciatic pain in my leg (on three different medications for pain alone as I type this), so I just got cash instead.
Sciatica ****ing sucks :( :'( :(
Funnily enough, because I've been stuck in bed recently, my lack of things to do led me to sign up for GeekHack this month.
Well, Happy Holidays to everyone and GL to those participating in the giveaway!
MX preferred
Edit: no artisan caps of any kind, failed the back-to-back winter bro sale
Edit 2: this isn't meant to be a pity post, please don't take it as such

But that wasn't even the highlight of Christmas this year. The real highlight was when I gave my niece and nephew SSB for their Wii U since they're becoming really bored of their only game, Mario Kart 8 and their dad (my brother in law) couldn't afford getting them any new games since the company he works for are currently letting go of thousands of their workers and they couldn't afford any luxuries. Our family ended up just taking turns and playing SSB for the rest of the night (well into the morning)

and it was a refreshing feeling of fun and joy that I haven't really had since I was a kid with everyone shouting and cheering, yelling who we should gang up on, which character everyone should be etc. :)). To add some context I've been busy with work + first year in university this past year and the only feelings of fun that I've had only came after having 4 bottles of beer and I've (regretfully) been taking my family for granted and not spending as much time as I should have when I look back on this year.To give you an idea just how big my family is, this picture is the one we took of everyone that attended our Christmas gathering this year and it's only about 1/4 of our immediate family:

I won a bug zapper as a White Elephant gag gift and fully expect to zap myself minutes after putting batteries in this thing :)) Also a key tester, I've been clicking on all of the MX switches like a madman. And lastly I've been hanging on to newegg gift cards for nearly a year to finally get myself a GTX 760! It was a great Christmas :thumb:

Probably the most special gift I receive this Christmas are these sweatpants from my mom. I've never owned sweatpants before so when I put these on during a chilly morning GOD DAMN they are comfortable. Now I am go to the gym without freezing and wear these to the cabin up in the mountains with my friends.
Man now I know why girls be rocking yoga pants.

Christmas Gift (https://flic.kr/p/qxApic) by hansen_oe (https://www.flickr.com/people/125682669@N08/), on Flickr
First one is from my beloved wife which is a piece of knife. Not an ordinary knife but it's the one I've been wanting this whole time
It's an artisan knife called Miyabi and made in Japan. It means so much to me since cooking is my passion
The USB was from a friend which I get from a gift exchange over the Christmas dinner yesterday, which by the way I am in need of more portable storage
But the true gift for me wasn't all these
The true gift is actually a person, which is my wife. This is our first Christmas together and we even just got married a month ago
Moreover that we just came back from a honeymoon trip around Europe, just the two of us with google map and spent her birthday and a perfect Christmas in Paris
It's a true gift to live life with her

So i unfortunately moved away from the family to Japan this year since i've always wanted to but i paid the price by leaving my family and friends so all i got this year was this Wasabi flavored Pretz from my wife's Co-workers.

On the other hand the family sent over a lot of money to buy my daughter a ton of lego which i get to play with as well so it's not all so bad.
Only lonely cherry MX atm.

My mom walked away with about $400 worth of stuff from me, hence why I haven't bought anything recently

My biggest gift this year was being able to give my daughter a couple really nice, big gifts that were all brand new. In years past our finances were a lot tighter so we had to buy mostly second-hand toys for her but this year we are doing a lot better so my wife and I were overjoyed to be able to buy her all new stuff :D
That wasn't my only gift though, I got some jeans and a really nice LL Bean winter jacket. It's the first winter jacket I've had since I lived at home, I've been freezing my ass off wearing stupid hoodies and fleeces for years.

This was my favorite thing besides getting to spend Christmas with my side of the family.
I got in on the second chance sale so I'll sit this one out. Good luck to everyone.

Christmas this year wasn't too bad. Since my bday is so close to christmas, my family does christmas and my bday together and I usually get one gift instead of two (can't blame the parents, Christmas shopping is expensive as hell when you got a ton of children and relatives). I'm not the guy for asking for and opening presents but I got a nice wallet and a light down jacket in some weird purple obsidian color. Also I got money as I personally think its the best and safest option.
I didn't get myself any keyboard related stuff and lucked out on the Winter and Ice sale unfortunately but its not the end of the world for me! So glad you are giving more chances to those who are Bro-less :fistbump:
Here's a pic of that funky colored jacket:
(http://i.imgur.com/0JqVGgE.jpg)
For the caps, I'd like any of the caps, as long as it is in MX. Must say though these new designs are so awesome, I love them all! :thumb: Any of these would be a great first Bro for me. Thank you Bro for doing this!
p.s. appreciate all of those who got caps from the Winter/Ice sale and are sitting out, helps us first-timers

Apparently I am too old for presents so only got one this year from my best friend, he is getting into wood work and made me this monitor stand and some little containers to match but those are not quite yet done. I'm pretty stoked with it, I was using a phonebook :))
Would prefer Topre but happy with mx too.

Just bought her a necklace, and received yesterday.
Unfortunately she's traveling with her sis on the other side of the world, so I can't give her the present on such a meaningful day or even a near future until she come back.
In the cold and lonely Christmas, there's a silver lining to almost any bad situation, which's a blank HHKB show up in the evening as my Christmas gift and really warm my lonely heart.
Never get in any recent sale, hope I can have a nice bro in the future :))

Christmas should be filled with happy spirits so I'm keeping this brief. Things haven't been going well the past few months and I don't usually get gifts since I live alone. I did get this though, a blanket and cheez its with a sad note regarding the state of our relationship from my SO (?) of 7yrs.
Thanks bro for doing this, and good luck to everyone. Happy holidays!

We didn't do much for gifts this year since our gift to ourselves was purchasing, renovating and moving into our new house. We did continue our tradition of hosting a christmas morning with all of our friends who do not have family close and would be celebrating it alone otherwise. We started doing that years ago and we have been doing it since. My wife's favorite part of christmas is the stockings, so we make stockings for everyone so we all have something to open. This year there were 8 of us and we all had a great time.
Here is the contents of my stocking:
[attachimg=1]
The jar/mug is filled with dried fruit and chocolate covered almonds. BTW, these are great if you are invited to christmas parties and you want to bring a little something. Buy some pint jars and a bunch of different dried fruit. Do the fruit in different colored layers and it looks really pretty. The mugs were a little hard to do this year because they were smaller than a normal pint jar, but you get the idea...
I would love an MX Stump, they look awesome...

I also got a new bed :D Then went and spent christmas with my mom's side of the family, (she has 14 brothers and sisters, and I have 97 cousins) our grandma bought every grandkid a shirt, (last year she found this "funny printed shirt website" and now that's her tradition) they pretty much said the same thing, "This is what an awesome brother/sister/dad/son/etc looks like", much better than last years where she tried to make them all clever, for example mine was "I'm awesome and I don't care what you think about me" it was on a baby blue shirt with a script font...

MX preferred if white walker, if any other keycap or if not available Topre is good as well :D
0/6 Ctrlalt.io
0/3 Old Email System
Edit:
Put on the Tex Aluminum case, I also plan on buying a bunch of blue LED's and adding them as I constantly have it set to be in the Pn layer (to allow me to change the Caps key to be a Ctrl key) and the one light pisses me off, also I think it will be fun to do some of my first solder work!
Here it is in it's new case.

My daughter loves to sew, and so she now has her very own sewing machine:

And although I know it may sound like a strange hobby for a modern man to have, I find hand-embroidering very relaxing. Since JoshMK loves Charmander, I decided to sew this piece for him as a Hanukkah present:
(http://i.imgur.com/LSBaR4R.jpg?2)
Now for someone who gave me something for their celebration of this season. heedpantsnow generously gave me his Imsto/Hammer Blue Hellboy MX which I admit is the coolest Hanukkah gift I would ever expect to receive this year:

We got a bottle of Makers Mark and it came with a Christmas sweater on the bottle, which the kitten is modeling here:

I don't get big presents anymore (I probably got too old for that :p). But christmas is about spending time with the family anyway and I had great evening with my 1,5 year old nephew. We played for hours with all his new toys and it was just awesome seeing the joy in the little man's eyes!
I got some candy and a calendar with pictures of him :)

Shoddy pictures because I unboxed it in my car. I couldn't contain my excitement after picking it up at the post office ;D
I'm just waiting on stabilizer grease to lube my rattling spacebar and a spring to replace the one I ruined (I stepped on on it, stupidly, while I had the spacebar off to figure out how to fix the rattling noise) but after testing almost every type of switch under the sun and buying/selling a couple Korean customs, I've decided that this HHKB Type-S really is my end game! No more trying to get myself to like Cherry MX - I've become completely "one with the cup rubber!"
That White Walker Topre cap would be the perfect finishing touch to my keyboard and would quite possibly end my MK journey - of course I'll still be sticking around GH for good because the community here is great - but no more buying random keyboards that I only have moderate interest in. This would make my girlfriend happy too because she thinks I switch keyboards wayyy too often :p
PS:
I am also a HUGEEE GoT geek and I am absolutely in love with that keycap (my profile pic is a modern rendition of the Tully family sigil). I'm still kicking myself in the butt for missing out on the sale... again... as usual... and to this day have never even touched let alone seen a Bro Cap in person :'(
Anyway, thanks for doing this and Happy Holidays!

Girlfriend got a me a great new Leatherman, been wanting one for a while so I can play handyman! Love fixing up random junk (broken oscillating fan has been my recent target), but given I'm a (relatively) recent grad, I don't have the biggest selection of tools just yet. This is great in that it fills the gap on things like wire strippers which I don't want to buy, but is great to have long-term from a convenience perspective.I can cap you off if you know what I mean ;)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/pH6W1F4.jpg)

I say "yet" because my family hasn't been able to celebrate it fully. My father and sister both work and study overseas.
My father ended up not being able to make it due to year-end business, and my sister's flight was scrambled up amidst the holiday schedules that she missed Christmas with us at home.
BUT :D my sister is able to make it tomorrow and we'll be able to celebrate new years together, the three of us.
Our whole family hasn't been able to gather together for years now, but thinking of each other as we try our best in our circumstances.
Here's to hoping in 2015, we could finally come together! :thumb:
Thanks for reading, I haven't been able to win a cap in the recent sale and am completely Bro-less so I thank you again so much for this opportunity! :)

This year I got some mountain bike things (new chain, new rear tire), some very cozy slippers and some racquetballs.
As you can probably tell from the racquetballs and the bike stuff, I'm trying to cultivate hobbies that keep me active. Like others that spend most of their time playing with computers, sometimes, I tend to be a bit ... is "portly" too harsh? :) I HATE just spending time in the gym, so I'm trying to do things that give me exercise and are actually *fun* - cycling and racquetball are the best I've got so far.
I would LOVE the white walker in Topre! I've tried to participate in all the Bro sales since I joined geekhack, and still haven't been able to get one.
Thanks, and merry Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway!

Well this is a pretty short story for one simple reason, I didn't celebrate Christmas this year. To be more specific, my family didn't feel like traveling to see each other at this time of year. To kind of make up for that fact, I joined three secret santa exchanges including the one here on GH.
A month of agonizing over what to get my recipients later, I end up with literally one gift for me under the palm tree (since there was no christmas tree this year) and that was the gift from my GeekHack Secret Santa.
Inside was a set of David's Tea Christmas samplers and some Christmas colored keycaps which I quickly put onto the GoN MXMINI which I received the day before in the mail =)
As I had to sell the HHKB to fund gifts and purchases for myself I only have MX boards left =)

I got these first few awesome gifts from Halverson! A beautifully framed print of Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire (one of my favourite characters!) I will proudly display him in my living room area, a Bill Murray journal that reminds me just how awesome I am on almost every page and an IBM fountain pen (which I used to keep score in Yahtzee last night where I lost horribly!) It's worth mentioning that his wrapping job was spectacular also! I only had to unwrap three different layers of different gift wrap to get to the prize inside, all taped up nicely with some pink hello kitty tape. The same tape that one of my gifts from him last year (3D printed dong cap) was wrapped up in. Nice touch.
So here is a BIG thank you to our Santa Girlshark ScarJo whizbro God, Halverson for blessing me with such treasures!
Next!
I already had the Robin Williams print but the family framed it for me. I love that print and have the perfect spot for it. Also the last picture is an Xmas gift I got myself! A Gremlins knit Xmas sweater from Mondo and Middle of Beyond that arrived just in time for Christmas. (The hat was a gift from family also, the red hair? Well that was a gift from genetics)
I got some other things also but I'm at work and didn't take any pictures of them, but I'll tell you what they were anyway. A wall clock shaped like a vinyl record, a DIY am/fm radio that I will solder and build soon, a laser bore sight for the red dot on my savage .22 and some socks and underwear of course! Also, a second Xmas sweater (not knit, but a printed sweatshirt that seems to be giving me allergic reactions :/ )
Well, that's my haul this year! But more important than the gifts, I got to see some old faces and spend some time with family and loved ones!
CHEERS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU BRO AND EVERYONE ELSE ON GEEKHACK!!
PS. I made it into the bro sale, so I also bow out of the competition!

It was a really nice and relaxing Christmas for my first one away from home without my family. I decided to not go home at the last minute, so all my gifts were shipped up, I got some things I ordered for myself, and I just did nothing all day. Culminating in the glorious ordering of Chinese food. Today is basically a repeat... same thing until the 2nd, pretty much.
Would love to win a bro, MX please and it would be my first ever :D.
Happy holidays everyone! Hope it was good Christmases all around.

To top that off, my mom decided to help my buy a topre board. This is the first time she really wasn't surprised about me wanting a new board despite having that many already :p Guess she got used to my hobby xD
The third attachment is something starcraft lovers would be interested in. It will be the side of my computer case, custom laser printed (soon, I hope). Yes, this christmas was pretty cheerful :D
Thanks for doing this bro, as always. You rock.
Preference is MX.

Thanks for doing this Bro! I know everyone really appreciates what you do for this community. I would like to throw my name in the ring for the White Walker V2 MX especially but also for the Stump and Jawless in MX. I do already have Bros though.

Couldn't be more stoked, my first ever HHKB, it's a real beauty and the whitewalker would complement it wonderfully!

This Christmas I got the most meaningful present I've ever gotten in my life- an electric razor from my dad! I had some trouble with an undiagnosed case of hypogonadism, which made it impossible for me to grow facial hair. I was always the smallest and weakest kid in my class, and when I started going to high school I was basically the only kid in school who still hadn't gone through puberty. So I was always secretly jealous of people who could grow facial hair and really wanted to grow a badass beard myself. I was officially diagnosed with hypogonadism this year and started getting treatment for it, and last week, I finally started growing some facial hair!!!!!! I don't think I can properly convey through words how happy I was to see those few whiskers growing on my face. This is my first razor, and to me, it's the best gift I could've asked for this Christmas.
Man... your story is moving.
Your dad knew what you will be needing! :)

Yeah, my dad was really happy for me and super proud of giving me me this razor. I'm going to be taking good care of this thing so I can cherish it and use it for a long time. Happy holidays to all!

The house they celebrate Christmas at was built in 1842 and I've enjoyed walking around on all this land. Saw a Merlin bird dive on a field mouse this morning and tbh that made my trip

Same here LOL, although, I did get to admire it in person during one of the meetups.
Your time will come. You never forget the first one you get. I still remember the enthusiasm that flowed through me when i won my first one.
It wasn't even in a sale, it was a gift for the broless.
