Hey Eric.  I got some heavy duty knee pads.  Nice and cushy on inside.  Durable heavy material on outside.  Great when on one's knees before the Vanagon gods.

In my case,
The gifts were more practical.  Though fun is very welcome!  A set of 18 metric wrenches with the socket spinning ends.  Roll up fabric case.  Perfect for shop or travel and just about any size I can dream I’ll need. And, a fun multi screw driver that includes the inner tube valve removal tool, perfect for West River Westies inner tube deflation. 
Any other cool vanagon or camping stuff come your way?

Hey, here at my house we do our gift exchange on Christmas Eve, and I’m happy to report two very useful bus items! So, my tools have improved.  And I’m even better prepared for fun and adventures.
So along with good wishes for a great year don’t forget to share your fun Vanagon gift finds!

I’m always pleased with the joy and friendship being a van caretaker and part of the VW bus community creates.

My best to all of you.

Eric
