My DH surprised me with a surger (it's a sweet sewing machine that does cool stuff) I think I mentioned I wanted on once. I'm very excited to try it!!!!
I got a SPIROGRAPH! @biggunsbo thought you would appreciate that.
I also got a Fitbit! @stacey099 and I are going to be beasties on there until others add us. Fitbit faction I'm looking at you. @fabk@haddocky I know there are more.
I also got a Kate Spade bag!!!! My sisters sister in law is a store manager and so my sister asked her to pick it up using her discount. I'm so excited about it. I also got some kitchen and crochet stuff. It was a great Christmas.
I got a new mini computer/tablet combo for school! I am so excited but feel bad at the same time because I didn't think we were doing big gifts cause we are POOR this year since i am not working.
With moving this year and baby #2, we decided not to get each other gifts.
My parents got us a Lowe's gift card bc we need new LR curtains and the ones I want are from there. They also got me some smaller things and Christmas candy
We have a big gift exchange with DH's side of the family tomorrow.
We don't do Christmas gifts. But we have had the most wonderful few days. Really enjoying life and appreciating eachother. This has been a great Christmas
Well my north Carolina trip was pretty much rolled into anniversary, birthday, and christmas. But he usually cheats and "gives" me his christmas gifts/bonus from work...so $100 bill and a $50 gift cert I have to use in the city where he works. So...fitbit...or galaxy fit. Maybe toward a new recliner. ..choices choices.
I got a Galaxy Tablet! I knew it was coming, but I am so excited...using it now! I also got a few new pairs of earrings and some clothes. DH made a shutterfly calendar as well. He made one last year too. I love looking through all the pictures!
DH and I signed off on a new car yesterday and since we traded in my car and I'll be the one mainly driving it, I'm calling it my Christmas present. But honestly, the best present was seeing E experiencing the holiday with family.
He got me a pretty new ring and some pretty hot pink square stone earrings!
I got DH a new phone because he shattered his screen 2 months ago and it was driving me crazy watching him try to read his phone on the daily. I also got him a French connection UK cologne I LOVE the scent!!!!! Obsessed! It's called "FCUK late night" and the bottle looks like an old school juke box!
My favorite gift this year came from my in-laws. They purchased an all-in-one desktop computer with a 23.5" monitor for me! I'd jokingly added it to my wishlist (and specified that cash or check would be helpful to save up for one). I was floored!
Stocking stuffers: LUSH bath bomb (used tonight), BWW gift card, Williams-Sonoma gift card, Coldstone gift card, 2lb toning ball, giraffe hat/beanie, movie passes, Einstein Bagels gift card (hmmm I'm seeing a theme)
Rest: DSW gift card, D&B's gift cards + movie gift card (date night pack from brother-in-law and wife), $150 Visa gift card, one of those giant books that contain multiple novels by one author (Jane Austen novels, in this case), individual Jane Austen books from DH and Noah (taking back to get a different selection), silver bracelet, a cup thing that makes shakes or slushies, a fuzzy blanket, and a sloth calendar.
ETA: My in-laws also offered to have Noah sleep over with them tonight so that I could get a full night's rest instead of having to stay up with him to get him to sleep or wake up early with him. DH made the plans with them so I have no idea when I'm getting my child back tomorrow...
DH and I bought a new couch recently and decided that it would be our Christmas gift to ourselves. We splurged on M this year and filled each others stockings with candy and new pjs.
DH and I didn't exchange gifts this year since we are going to FL next week. We will have Christmas will my family next weekend and my parents always go overboard so I'm not sure what to expect.
MIL and FIL got us new Fiesta ware dishes...we really didn't need new dishes but they are really nice and match our kitchen colors. Now I just need to figure out what to do with our old dishes? Donate? Keep? We also got these awesome pillows that have been on our lists for years.
I was surprised (blown away, really) but a new sewing machine. I have been using the one my parents got me when I was 12 or 13 for all this time. A second favorite is a new Thermos coffee mug to keep my coffee hot hot hot all morning I can't even tell you how many times I nuke my coffee during the mornings
Sounds like everyone had a great Christmas! We got a kuerig from my parents as well as clothes and books and other stuff, my parents go overboard.
Dh has given me time away with each of the older kids!! Ds and I will pick a night to take the ferry to Vancouver and take in an attraction of his choice then spend the night in a hotel...dd and I are going to find a rhythmic gymnastics competition to go watch!! So excited for some quality one on one time with them!!
My husband got me a gift card to go shopping which works for me because I love shopping & I hate his style to be quite honest. My favorite gift is this though..
No Vitamix but MIL got DH and me a Nutribullet Rx about two weeks ago and I've used it quite a few times already to make yummy smoothies! DH got me some clothes from Athleta, new Uggs, sunglasses, and a new pair of Toms. My mom got us gifts cards for movie tickets and dinner.
All this Fitbit talk is making me want to get one. @haddocky What all does yours track? I should just wait for the new one to come out and then join you all.
DH got me an outdoor exercise mat, which I'm excited to try out. I also got basically everything on my list from family, so that's awesome. I have some $ to spend on whatever else I desire!
One of my favorite gifts was this necklace my sister gave me, from her jewelry line.
I won't actually have it until Jan 5th because apparently the color I wanted is the most requested. So we're waiting for the next batch to be shipped over. It's gonna be a sad day when I say goodbye to my little yellow convertible bug.
