DH and I are getting ourselves a Zoo pass. I already just got some new clothes and prescription sunglasses, so I told H I'd be happy with a few small items/stocking stuffers. I really need to replace all my dangly earings with studs before DS gets grabby. If anyone asks I just tell them a gift card for shoes, pedicure, date night activities, or Sephora. I am giving H a bunch of practical stuff, a spendy craft beer, a book, phone case, and an antenna so he can watch football now that we don't have cable.
I just asked for gift certificates for restraunts and clothes. For DH I am trying to get a hold of a beer that he had when he was in Peugeot Sound. I can't find it around here so far!
I want some sewing supplies and JoAnn's gift card, and a new teething necklace. I asked my parents for a new winter coat because mine is over 10 years old and is falling apart. My dream gift would be a Kinderpack baby carrier, but that's waaay over budget for all my gift givers.
I really want a Maya Brenner initial necklace with LO's first initial. Also a new wardrobe because j suddenly hate all of my clothes. And new bedding. I'm boring!
I told family that there's really nothing I need or want, and that they can either put $ they would spend on me into S's college fund or just spend it on him somehow.
From DH? Either an espresso machine or jewelry. I haven't really started looking at jewelry yet though, and last time he did it himself I ended up opening 5 rings because he couldn't choose one and needed me to make the final decision.
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
We haven't decided how/if we're doing gifts for each other this year. But if we do, I'd like jewelry, The Bread Baker's Apprentice, a new Clarisonic brush head, and/or a good chef's knife.
We're going to Disney World in January with my parents, so they're paying for the flight for our presents. DH and I decided we wouldn't do gifts, just pick out some kitchen stuff we need to replace/upgrade together. From the few other people we exchange gifts with I asked for pourable mixing bowls, giftcards for clothes, and craft supplies.
Clothing GCs and baby carrier. DH can't pick out jewelry by himself (get confused, overwhelmed and frustrated) so I am buying myself a family necklace for Christmas.

Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)

Dh has decided for himself that he wants to buy my a fitbit
I didn't ask my mom for anything.
My dad is buying my some black boots
My grandma bought me a new chain for the pendant she gave to me over 10 years ago when I mom passed. I used to wear that necklace everyday and kept forgetting to replace the broken chain.
Not sure about the in-laws. They mentioned getting us gift cards for formula and diapers which is sweet!
I kinda buy myself what I want as does DH so we are hard to shop for these days
But I do want DH to buy my a house in 2015!! We have run out of room in our current one.

We don't really do presents and this year isn't an exception. I'm just happy to have my baby and we did do a lot of pricey things this year like our baby moon, newborn/family portraits, oh and having a baby.
This is a touchy subject right now. When DH asked for suggestions for what I wanted, I mentioned that I would like something in honor of DS's birth, such as a figurine or jewelry with his birthstone.
DS was baptised yesterday, and my parents gave me a lovely mother-son Lladro figurine (completely unprompted by me). But it turns out that DH has already ordered a similar Lladro figurine to give me for Christmas. I can't really return the one my parents gave me, and DH and I agreed it is silly to have 2 similar figurines, so DH is going to return the one he bought. But he was really excited to give it to me and now is pretty disappointed that he can't. :-(
I feel his pain
My SIL got a personalized stocking for LO and, at the risk of sounding totally ungrateful, I was more than just a little bit disappointed to not pick my own for LO
(Also, stockings are a sore subject because my Mom handmade the stocking for all the other grandchildren)

Tried with no luck. I figure maybe they don't sell it online because how would they know if ur of age or not??
Thanks for the idea!
Hmm we just ordered alcohol this way and you have to be 21 to receive the package. That's how they do that one...
