Oooh this is a hard one. I would say my favorite gift I gave was to my SIL. I gave her some baby stuff including a little baby book that says who loves baby and filled it with pictures of our family and a quote about being loved by angels then included a pic of my MIL, Aunt and Uncle who all have passed away. My favorite gift I got was DH got me a new throw blanket for the couch. It is very soft. My favorite memory actually does not have to do with Christmas but we were at DH's grandma's house and DS was walking around saying something. Everyone kept telling me he was asking for apple juice. But DS has never had apple juice or juice of any kind so I was just kinda ignoring it. Until he curled up in my lap and was really sad. I was like whats wrong buddy. Then it clicked that our new dog's name is Apple (its a work dog) and he is used to her coming every where with us and sitting with him in the car and he missed her. I thought it was so cute. We have had a dog the whole time he has been alive and he has never cared before.
What was your favorite gift you gave this year? Definitely the Jets jersey I got for DH. It has our name on the back and his number and he lost every inch of his mind when he saw it he was so happy. I’ve never felt such joy radiating off a person in my whole life.
What gift did you receive that you liked the most? My cousin’s boyfriend got me for our family secret Santa, and got me the Snow White lipstick and scarf from Besame cosmetics. My grandma was a huge Snow White fan and I almost cried because it made me happy even though I miss her so much. I’m the red lipstick queen in my family and to have that made my day.
or just share your favorite holiday moment 🎄🎁 I loved waking up next to my DH with his hands on my belly and him telling our baby merry Christmas. He made me swoon a little.
My favorite gift I gave was a WiFi digital picture frame. They don't live close, so we plan on posting frequent pictures of the LO once they arrive this summer! It's hard to say what my favorite gift I received but it's probably a close tie between my cookie press and new hair straightener (my old one was from high school 😂). Favorite moment hands down was telling the family about the LO coming in June!
Fav Gift I Gave: probably the 4 squeaky toys I bought for my dogs. My one dog loves to unwrap presents. She even helps me unwrap my presents! All I do is point at the tape spots and she pulls on them with her mouth. If she smells food though she goes wild
Fav Gift I Recieved: Definitely my Cricut Maker!! I’m so pumped to crank out some awesome crafts for our nursery!
Favorite gifts I gave was pot holders to the grandmas with the little kids handprints on them that said their name and Christmas 2018, and we got my daughter a giant stuffed unicorn that is bigger than she is, she adores it. Reminds me of a gift my parents got me when I was little that meant the world.
What was your favorite gift you gave this year? - We got my sister a HUGE grab bag of misc things ranging from a nice jacket to her favorite movies/TV series to bath and body works stuff. She was so happy to have such a variety of nice but practical/enjoyable stuff (she is 23 and just moved back home with Mom due to some income and housing issues)
What gift did you receive that you liked the most? - belated Christmas gift was getting our negative blood test results and finding out we are having another little girl who is most likely healthy!!
Favorite moment - watching DD have a blast with family opening gifts and playing
Technically it's a birthday gift (today is DH's birthday) but I got a cute weekly planner (with a few lines of space each day to write something), and filled in January with something I love or appreciate about him for each day. Will keep it up through the year, so by next year he'll have a year's worth of pick-me-ups. I can't wait to give it to him.
Favorite gift I received is either the comfy t-shirts from DH, the Amazon and Motherhood Maternity gift cards from my sister and DIL, or the LL Bean boots I'll be getting from DH's grandparents as soon as I return the ones they actually got me.
Favorite moment was getting to snuggle with the niece and nephew. Or when I gave DH an ornament that doubles as a little picture frame for our US picture. Generally I don't care that much for stuff like that but he's SUCH a secret marshmallow and he loved it...his grin was adorable.
Favorite gift I gave is the same as my favorite memory. We set up DS new play kitchen and toy cart for him to wake up to. He was so cute and cautious about it. He kept pointing at it and being like “can I have that? Is that mine?” And I kept having to reassure him that it really was for him and he could go play with it. Once he started playing he didn’t stop for hours. I just love seeing him so happy.
Favorite gift I got... people really just gave us gift cards and money. We bought a TV with it that I’m excited for?
Favorite memory: really the one above, but the whole day was really nice and relaxing, including Christmas Eve watching Die Hard. It was such a good holiday, just the three of us in pajamas, spending quality family time together.

Favorite gift I received, really I just received a bunch of gift cards to which I'm excited to get stuff for the baby.
