Stolen from GP. Gifts!

What did you receive that you love?

And, what did you receive that you hate?

Re: Stolen from GP. Gifts!

  • I have two gifts I love:

    1. Ninja blender. My mom did a lot of research to find me something I could make smoothies and baby food in, and I'm so excited about it!

    2. Date night! MIL gave us movie tickets, Starbucks gift card and cash for dinner and of course offered complimentary babysitting. :)

    I only had one gift that I wasn't a fan of. Brandon's grandma gave us a few nice gifts, but also gave us some baby shoes that she got at the thrift store she works at. They are brand new but a really old style, like 90s. So those will e going back to the thrift store. Lol

  • I actually love everything I received!!

    DH got me a touch screen computer. I loovee it!! He also got me a camera, I was absolutely shocked about the camera!

    My mom got me the new Marc Jacobs Honey perfume and new high heels. Love them!

    Our big gift to each other was a super nice 75 in tv. It's awesome.

    I got real spoiled this year and I just love it all!
  • @sgautschi, don't you just love the ninja? I have one, it came with the big and small cups. I have only used the small one. Lol.

    About those shoes, I would be "returning" them too. Lol. And date night sounds awesome. Enjoy it!
  • @bridget0117 Those are awesome gifts! You were so spoiled. :)

  • We still have Christmas this evening with my brother and SIL when they get into town.  But so far, my favorites and least favorite are:

    FAVE! - DH gave me the "Love You Forever" book from Baby Hack.  - - I also got about 7 or 8 maternity shirts!  I'm so excited to have practically a new wardrobe!  Yay!  - - DH also got me Viva La Juicy perfume that I've wanted for months. - - MIL and FIL bought LO his crib mattress, changing pad, and a bunch of other stuff.  :)

    LEAST FAVORITE - Hmm...I'm not sure I have any I didn't like.  I only have to take two things back but that's because one is a shirt that is too small and another is a sweater I already have.  Not bad!

  • @sgautschi & @bridget0117 - The Ninja is my absolute favorite appliance!  We got the one with the blender, food processor, and single serve cups as a wedding gift and use it all the time.  We also got the cooking system, which is amazing!

    I already answered on GP, but in case anyone didn't see:

    Best - an Alex and Ani bracelet from my step son and my favorite/"special occasion only" perfume from DH, which I was completely out of (I used up the last little bit on our wedding day). Also my new slippers and bathrobe from DH; I really needed them and they're super comfy! ILs got us a Paleo crockpot cookbook, which I'm excited to check out.

    Worst - a GC to BBB from SIL and her bf. Not that it will go to waste, but it was supposed to buy stuff for the new house that we are no longer able to buy. They got DH one for Home Depot.  Not that they weren't generous or thoughtful and not that we can't still use them; it just stung a bit.

  • I really loved everything I got this year!

    DH gave me a necklace with baby's birthstone and it also says mom on it.  He also got me a prenatal yoga dvd that I wanted (so I have to stop being lazy now!)

    I also got a cool elephant figure that I love from my dad and some nice new towels for our new house from my mom!

  • love: I got a new camera! perfect for taking fantastic pictures of the baby!

    hate: um nothing? we didn't really do gifts this year so there wasn't anything to hate:)

  • Favorite: My favorite perfume (Cool Water) and a Bruins scarf from H... he promised that next year we'll get to a game in Boston! Oh and a storage/drawer unit for our kitchen - my Keurig now has a home with room for all my coffee!

    Least Favorite: Probably the coffee mug DH got me, it plugs into the cigarette lighter in my car. He said it was because I'll be spending time in the car taking LO places and I hate cold coffee. Everywhere the LO will be going in the winter is about 5 minutes from our house. He meant well! We're going to my MIL's tomorrow in the Poconos so perhaps I'll use it then.

  • Such spoiled ladies on here!

    For me:

    Love-My espresso machine DH got me :) I love being a Batista at home!

    Love-My origami owl necklace from Ava Nichol. It has a plate that says mama and a heart in Ava Nichol's birthstone (aquamarine)

    Love-Mom took me shopping and bought me clothes that fit my after baby body and that fit my staying at home with kiddo lifestyle.

    For us-I got DH a weight bench. My mom is giving us their treadmill, old TV and DVD player and we got a yoga mat. So we have everything ready to turn our cabin into a workout room!

    For Ava Nichol-I love her Nabi tablet. She keeps saying "I play, I play" and she loves the counting games the most.

    For Ava Nichol-She loves her easel and it gives her an organized place to color whenever she wants.

    Dislike

    For me-A sweater dress that fits me funny and the security tag was still on, chopping mats that they rolled up to wrap so now they won't lay flat, and MIL gave us a leftover stenciled wood sign from the ones she made to sell. I would love one from her but she didn't make one for us which is clear by the writing on it which doesn't really fit us.

    For Ava Nichol-This obnoxious cheerleader doll that sings slightly inappropriate cheers and is so loud, A box of random bear nick nacks that don't really go with the "woodland theme" collection I was telling this family member about, and a pulling toy that is probably about a year too young for her.

  • Love: my in-laws got us a video camera, which we're super excited to have in time for LO's arrival!  (i.e. to commemorate the trip home from the hospital, NOT for any amateur birth videos, lol.)

    Hate: nothing, we had a great Christmas :)

  • @wiggyslilsis my youngest niece C had some kind of cheer leading doll that sang. It was the most annoying thing ever! If in mid cheer you pressed it's hand again, it would start over. C found it hilarious and did it OVER and OVER again. I have hidden that doll in MILs attic in hopes it will never be found again.

  • @nightmare_of_beauty that totally sounds like the same doll. She will push it repeatedly so it just keeps saying we're number one we're number one we're number one. So done with it.

  • I definitely am! I won't get rid of it because it is quite possibly the last gift she will receive from her Great Grandpa. He is not doing well :(

  • I guess I'm the odd one but I love that cheerleader doll. Lol
  • I liked everything!  I got lots of great stuff, including some stuff for Baby.  I don't think there's anything I disliked.  :-)
