I got a battery powered soldering iron - what did you get?

Got the Standard Horizon handheld VHF with DSC that I was asking about. Well chuffed that the price is now down to £159 at Marine Superstore, free delivery.
 
Got some cologne & another yacht. A Hunter 33.5. Very happy with both ;) Not intending to be smug, just nice to be able to tell people that understand the feeling of getting a nice yacht!
 
Nothing remotely boaty, except arguably one of Mrs H's gifts - a new book on the North Sea and its contribution (particularly as a means of transport and communication) to the development of civilization. I'll try to remember to post on The Book Club and/or the East Coast Meeting Forum when I've finished it.

Happy New Year!
 
A starlight 46 and 12 month berth in Britany from my wife (starlight second hand) and a range rover(new) from my children to drive there. My inlaws do as their usual as they can't think if anything novel by depositing a vulgar amount of money into my account.
The best prezzie was from an old lady, I slipped over in town ended up on my arse sat against a shop window(painful), to which she dropped £5 into my cap laying next to me. I wasn't sure if she thought I was a beggar, or payment for the entertainment. The subway sarnie went down well, result.

Not the best I've had but by far not the worse!

Happy new year!!

I registered mine with EPIRB Registry and added to Ships Radio Licence (both online), took an hour before I reallsed that the UIN = Hex ID and that the alpha numeric UIN does not contain O (as in Oscar) but will be 0 (as in Zero). Have fun. Also got an Odeo flare.
