Nothing for the van but I got a new rucksack for hill walking. I plan to test it out when we take the van to Keswick at Easter.
He was very kind to me:
A BM2 Battery Monitor.
A Fire pit like this.
USB socket for the top of the dash.
Passenger blanket to keep me warm (annoyingly they reduced the price even more since mine was bought!).
Next years copy of Britstops.
A book of Epic Road Trips.
and a Puncture repair kit.
He also listened favourably to future plans for upgraded suspension and head unit

Hi @ginkster that's a fairly impressive list! Those blankets look class.He was very kind to me:

Unfortunately not seen it yet as it was a late purchase and didn’t arrive in time. Hoping it’s as good as it looks!
About 20 years ago I could have reeled off a list of Xmas gifts - these days we don’t do gifts at Xmas or birthdays - the logic being we are lucky enough to be able to buy stuff that we want, when we want it throughout the year and too old for all that. Plus the elderly family members have got more important things to spend their money on than gifts for the sake of buying gifts.
Will read this thread with interest though…

Merry Christmas everybody.I hope you are all having a braw day.
Did you get any goodies for your van for Christmas?
My wife bought a new Pioneer head unit with all the bits needed to fit it into my T6.
Big thanks to Chris from the Van Cave for advising me, supplying the head unit and helping me with all the adapters etc. needed.
I’m not going to lie there’s like a dozen different leads and adapters to fit and it looks a bit scary.
I will get stuck in about it soon.
My 15 year old young lass hand made me a table cover for my van which she named Scooby. The van not the cloth.
She sewed on the purple edging to match the van herself.She also hand painted some coasters for Scooby too.
I’m well chuffed.
Auto Glym ceramic goop, fantastic. Guinness Nitrosurge, how was wifey to know you need the proper cans to go with it!! Lighty uppy splitties for the front of the Fiamma. And a lighty uppy muggers hat for those evenings under the bonnet or in the depths of the battery cupboard. She got a nice mug! I did OK!
I'm past my one year self imposed moratorium so now... Let the tweaking begin 
Also I appear to have given the family a theme

Further unwrapping after King Charles ensued to reveal a pair of Eject buttons and some top quality Chinese hood lights #kit ! Sorted...!
Let me know how the hood lights go! Been lusting after these since @moomin-j tarted up his opening
I have to ask, is Scarlett the van or daughter?!
You've got to envy the 'other halves' in our lives. We are so easy to buy stuff for, my Mrs on the other hand, daughter and I trawled around the delight that is Birmingum all day to buy stuff which we weren't really happy with! She never gives us clues or hints, such hard work! She appeared happy with her offerings though... so kind!
