Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?

If you asked for stuff, did you get it?

Re: Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?

  • DH asked what I wanted for x-mas, I told his a hand held vacuum like the old dust busters and sent him a link to a knock off iPod Nano that was like $30.  Instead he got me sweaters and frying pans.  MIL told us she was going to buy Tyler a LeapFrog TAG system and us a LCD TV.  Instead Tyler got random, cheap crap like 4 packages of Crayons to add to the other dozen or so he already has and clothes that are one size too small from Steve & Barneys (they are out of business).  For us, she got me another GC for her hair salon (I have about $300 worth of these as I don't have a chance to go) and DH got a dozen pairs of socks and shirts that are two sizes too small.  My BIL asked for some ADK magazine subscription, apparently from everyone and got FOUR subscriptions!  Including one from us.  It wasn't cheap either.  I am hoping they let him spread them out over years.
  • Yes and no. 

     I asked for clothes and socks.  Got plenty of those.  But that's about the only thing I asked for that I got.

    I didn't really ask for much but I wanted a futon for the guest room and didn't get that.  Plus I asked for a few DVD's and didn't get either one.  I was going to buy them myself in the store when I saw them before Christmas but I figured I'd be getting them so I held off.

    I didn't really ask for anything else.

  • I'm definitely not complaining because I was spoiled this Christmas with a new laptop from my parents and K but the only thing I actually put on my list was a crockpot and I didn't get it.  Now I'm wondering if I'll go buy my own or not.

  • I made out pretty well this year, I asked for and got Beatles Rock Band and a rice cooker.  We are having our family Christmas tonight because my sister finally got into town, so we'll see what else I get!

  • There wasn't anything I really wanted so I didn't ask for anything.  DH painted a picture of Eva for me and got me a new can opener.  My parents spoiled me as usual so I have a bunch of gift cards to spend in the upcoming days plus some cash that I'll probably put towards a new sewing machine.

  • The ONLY thing I asked for was the Electronic Quilt6 software, and DH got it for me.
  • yep, and then some.

    i really wanted a new camera- not that there was anything wrong with my old one, i just wanted a better one. my brother bought me the Nikon i wanted and the lens that came with it, my father bought me the big ol' zoom lens, and DH bought me a nice case for it all. now all i need are some bigger memory cards. good thing my birthday is right around the corner!

    i jokingly added a kindle to my wish list after borrowing my moms and my parents got one for me! that was a total surprise and i opened the kindle after i opened the new stephen king book (that is freakin' larger then war & peace!!) that i asked for. i will now spend 9.99 and buy the new king book for the kindle b/c there's no way i'm luggin that 10 lb book around!

    the only other thing i wanted was a remote starter for my Jeep, really DH & my present to each other, and we'll probably get one later this month, would have probably done it this week but we had an unexpected vet bill to deal with today

  • I didn't really ask for anything.  I asked for a GC for a pedicure and dh got me a spa GC. plus I picked out some of my gifts.
  • Pathetic though it may be, the thing I wanted most was a Slanket, which I failed to receive. My brother did get me a lusciously thick bathrobe (which touches the floor and weighs 20 lbs). So that's close!

  • I never ask for stuff, but a few weeks ago Williams-Sonoma had an unbelievable 1-day sale on Kitchenaid stand mixers.  We ended up getting the Professional 600 (610? whichever one is made for WS) for a STEAL!
  • Well I've been asking for a Canon Rebel for years now...not thinking I'd EVER in a million years actually get one.

    Well DH surprised me this year and got it for me!!!!!

    I didn't actually ask for it because I didn't want him to spend that kind of money but it was totally the best gift I ever could have asked for (besides a baby but DH is doing the best he can in that department...) Smile

  • We bought a Wii console, fit and 5 games about 2 weeks ago and the vacations we have been taking in Jan/Feb the last few years, we have always treated as a gift to each other too, so I didn't ask or expect anything.

    On Christmas morning dh surprised me with two Coach wristlets, that he knew I had been looking at.  :) My dh is amazing!!!
