DH got me a bracelet with some charms on it. One charm says "I love you to the moon and back." Everything else I got is stuff I wanted so that worked out.
Can I count the worst as a nasty cold? I thought I was getting better but I had to call out of work and stay in bed day. Boo hoo.
Everyone got such good gifts!!! We are all a bunch of nice spoiled ladies!
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~ DH was not ready for IUI so we waited ~Started acupuncture in May 2014~ ~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
I got new lululemon pants and knitting needles from DH, as well as an IOU to buy a new phone. My parents are buying us a rocker/recliner so we get to go shop for one now! My brother made us an awesome butcher block cutting board.
Pretty spoiled this year. Nothing I really need to exchange or return.
TTC since August 2011 Cycle 8,9,10 - 50mg Clomid - BFN
Beautiful, nfp!! Yay for the roasting pan, islandmonkey! And woohoo for being able to zoom in with your new camera lens, sewilson! Hahaha.
Best gift: DH bought me a new laptop. I've been trying to figure out what I wanted for months, and just recently decided on a laptop (not a convertible or a tablet or other device). I told him multiple times not to buy something for me, because I didn't want him spending that much. Well, he (of course) didn't listen, and I opened up a new Lenovo ThinkPad yesterday morning. In terms of specs, it's more than I need and more than I was looking at to buy myself (I was just waiting until after Christmas to pull the trigger on one I'd found). In terms of style...it has none, lol! It's going to be a workhorse of a laptop, and I'm sure performance-wise I will never have a complaint, but it's heavier than I was looking for and totally blah in the looks department. FWP!! LOL!
Worst gift: DH's uncle gave us (and BIL and BIL's gf, despite the fact they don't even live together yet) a holiday salad server set (ie, the salad serving fork/spoon set). Erm...thanks? Hahaha.
Can you get some of those vinyl stickers or a cover to make it nicer looking??

I am definitely considering doing just that! I want to see if I can find some sort of laptop "skin" to fit over it.

BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13
Best: DH got my a Nook HD+ to upgrade from my Nook Color... the screen is huuuuuuge
2nd Best: My parents got me a crockpot so now I will actually cook things!
Worst: Um... well MIL always buys me things that she thinks her daughter would like, because she doesn't always know what to buy for me. So those are usually pretty "meh" and always, always purple because that's SIL's favorite color. Although SIL did get me earrings again... and I don't have pierced ears.

My work computer is a Lenovo THinkPad...then the district straight up spray painted our District number on it with a stencil. It looks like it came straight out of the prison system. I hope you find something better to dress it up than that !:)
