I got pjs, a scarf, and slippers! I didn't really have anything I wanted and didn't give any ideas to DH. I was rather impressed and proud of him. I love pjs and have been complaining that I don't have any that fit. I wear slippers all the time, and I have been getting into scarves. DH has been paying attention!
BFP with #2- Sept 6, 2013 EDD May 20, 2014 MC Sept 26, 2013 @ 6 wks 2 days
My H got me some amazingly soft sweats and some cute tops to wear. He always finds the best clothes for me! I've been lounging in the sweats and never want to take them off.
@Leskay LOL! If my family still did their gag gift swap I'd expect to see something like that.
DH bought me the necklace i wanted with DS's name and birthstone. Family and ILs gave me cash, gift cards, and some seriously comfy pajamas, but my favorite gift other than the necklace is that FIL is having my car fixed for me (it broke down on my way home from work last week and we just couldn't afford to have it fixed so close to Christmas).
I got... -a seat belt purse in the discontinued print I've wanted for the past 3 years! I'm so happy they brought it back for a limited time! -a hand mixer (Yeay no more lumpy cakes!) -winter crocs (i don't like crocs but I got a pair of winter ones several years ago. When I'm lazy i wear them. I made a comment about needing/wanting a new pair and forgot i said it) -a precious moments disney Cinderella doll. It's about 12 inches tall. She's very pretty! -a lot of dvd/blurays since we have Itty bit and can't see movies right now (plus black friday 2 buck dvd 5 buck blurays...) -a bunch of giftcards! And a lot of little things for around the house
oh and the traditional new comforter! We have a dog who sleeps with us in bed, she sleeps under the blanket then she gets hot or panics and chews a holes in the blanket. She does this little by little throughout the year so by December we need a new comforter. My mom has given us a new comforter every year. I like it because we rotate the old ones out, DH gets the old holey one i get the new one and when we have three the oldest gets tossed.
I wasn't really expecting anything but ended up getting spoiled :P DH got me a beautiful leather coat with fur trimmed collar and a nice phone case. My mom got me a Michael Kors purse with a chanel wallet inside and the in laws bought me a bunch of new China and handmade pottery that was made locally. Little DS got spoiled with all the clothes he received, all in all feeling very grateful
Gift card to local nail salon and a bird feeder (have wanted one for a while but DH kept saying he would rather buy us food than the birds...he gave in).
@tamarar5 I know Christmas isn't about the presents but I'd be throwing a fit if I were you. You deserve at least something nice to open if not multiple somethings
@Mrsthompsontobe and @tamarar5, you're both so sweet to think of me! DH came through for me this year! I got a portable phone charging stick, some stemless wine glasses (less breakable and more dishwasher-safe -- two kids means lots more wine is needed around here and hsndwashing just wasn't cutting it), and a gift membership to a new local rock climbing gym. Something new to try for fitness, but also fun. Apparently holding a baby while sitting on the couch isn't a great workout, who knew?
@tamarar5 I hope you can go pick out something nice for yourself this week. I was so bummed last Christmas when I felt forgotten. We appreciate you here!
@shevaCC rock climbing is a great workout! I'm a certified belayer (I'm the person at the bottom who holds the rope to make sure youcome down slowly and you ddon't fall). It's fun too. Also I'm afraid of heights but very much enjoyed it.
@tamarar5 I'm sorry! I hate not getting stuff for christmas when everyone around me is opening stuff. I hope you get to treat yourself soon! In the words of Tom and donna (parks and rec) treat yoself!
@Leskay one of my friends on FB posted a pic of that same nutcracker but was totally excited to start her new collection. I had to laugh a bit, having read your post directly before seeing her FB status!
@kandm9 I got a lot for LO as well. My mil gave me a whole giant gift bag and one to my sil. Hers filled with new VS comfy pants and gift cards mine had all baby toys. She's like do you like it? I said my yes thank you so much but I was kinda sad
DH and I agreed that we weren't exchanging gifts this year because we are having our basement finished and need to buy new furniture but he bought me nice hoop earrings with DS's birthstone. They are actually exactly what I would have picked myself. He gave me some diamond and ruby hoops for Xmas the year DD was born so he said I needed some for DS too. It was really sweet and I felt bad I hadn't gotten anything for him.
Re: What did you end up getting?
DH got me a blu-ray player that turns our tv into a smart tv!
