Sooo what did you get?

I know its not about the gifts.......but....what did you all get for Christmas? Any surprises?

DH's mom surprised me with a really nice Coach purse. Totally unexpected considering she broke her knee a week before Christmas. Poor thing.

DH got me a lot of meaningful gifts that made me cry. He got a frame that says Mr and Mrs and printed a photo of our last trip and put it in there. He also got me an ornament and personalized it himself in his funny handwriting. It was all so sweet. 

My parents got me a macbook! I am sooo excited. I have no idea how to use it yet lol. I really really needed a new computer.

Re: Sooo what did you get?

  • Wow, jenny! You got great gifts! A macbook, that's awesome. And your DH is so sweet, I love sentimental gifts.

    DH and I got each other iphones - we are officially obsessed! And our trip to Gatlinburg, of course.

    My mom got me a CHI iron, which I have always wanted but never bought for myself :)

  • I got the iPhone from DH... totally unexpected!  He totally threw me off with it.  MIL gave me cash, a lot more than the usual, which will come in handy now with the trip expenses.  My parents gave me Flowerbomb perfume, which I've been wanting for the longest!  And a GC to a restaurant they are always raving about.

    I can't complain, it was a nice Christmas.

  • DH got me a coach purse, GC so I could get a facial and the New Mario game for the wii (which is secretly a gift for the both of us lol). The rest of my family gave me money. I also got a pearl necklace set from MIL and some bath and body works goodies from SIL. Overall it was a pretty good Christmas.

    They all went overboard. Im in complete shock and not worthy of it all considering the financial times everyone is in. I am so very grateful.

  • We didnt get each other much under the tree since we considered everything we were buying for the house as Christmas gifts to each other... but DH did get me a block of yoga classes to the studio near our house, some dvds, chocolates, a blue tooth headset for my phone. My mom gave us gift certs for massages, yay! She got me some bras from VS too. DH's parents gave us a bunch of everyday cleaning items for the house that we were going to need to buy anyway... and they told us they are going to buy our formal dining room set as a christmas/house warming gift which is totally thoughtful and appreciated!

    He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

  • Yay everyone got such awesome gifts! 

    DH shocked me with a coach purse!  He did awesome too, it's gorgeous!  He also got me a waffle maker, an apron, and a lid opener (I can never open lids when he isnt home!).

    MIL got us a flip video camera which we are already obsessed with. Oh and she got me a Le Creuset Grill Pan and also a cookie press - woohoo!!  I love all the cooking gifts. 

    My mom handed down her nativity set that I grew up with to me, which I loooove.  She also is giving me money for clothes and got us both Super Mario Bros for Wii, which we are already addicted to. 

    Oh and I got something to make mini burgers! lol I can't wait to make "Bolooki Burgers" for my blog! :) 

     

     

  • Wow it sounds like you ladies got some awesome gifts.  DH bought me a white Swatch.  I saw Sandra Bullock wearing it in the blind side and I loved how it looked on her wrist, so I asked for one for Christmas.  Love It!  I also got a standing jewelry box from my parents and some purple boots, and some clothes from my sister.  I got DH super Mario brother for Wii and some clothes. And my parents got him some Dolce & Gabana Cologne.  We had a great Christmas and we are looking forward to the new year.

  • Sounds like everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

    DH got me the only thing that I asked for from him which was the Wii fit plus balance board. My MIL got me 2 Paul Deen cook books, a jewelry box from Brighton and cash. I bought a new bicycle with some of my cash....My parents got me a new hand mixer and shirt and GC. Both of which I asked for. I got DH some shirts, a wall clock for his office and a winter beanie. His parents got him new jeans, cash and something else I can't remember.  Lastly, we got both sets of parents a digital picture frame.

  • Woohoo For Coach this year!!! My DH bought me the coach scarf I've been eyeing for my black purse, and an Air compressor (yes, im a tool nerd Big Smile)

    MIL gave me the black Coach wallet and my dad gave me the Nail guns for the compressor! 

    My DH wanted some parts for his truck and cahs from his momma.
