Best/Worst Christmas Present

From your husband, during the years?

 

Re: Best/Worst Christmas Present

  • Best Gift: My Canon S5IS Camera

    Worst Gift: HDMI Cable, lol

  • Best: A beautiful sweater from WHBM to keep me warm at work (sadly, it was stolen from a temp job earlier this year)

    Worst: I asked him to pick me out perfume. He did, but if happened to be one of the same ones my mom wears a lot. We took it back that night.

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I am happy to say he is generally terrific at picking out gifts for me.  Last year was the absolute best: he got me a trip to Vail.  He even did a sneaky check of when my classes were so he knew exactly when schedule it.

    Worst I'm afraid might be this year.  Last week he gave me a pop-up book about Graceland, which I actually loved, but I found out last night that it was half of my present.  I was hoping for something a little more useful, but I do really like the book.

  • Best: My lime green moonboots. I mentioned in like, July that I wanted them and he remembered. He even snuck to see what size shoe I wore bc they were in European sizes. Awwwww.

    Worst: He bought me a really nice stereo for my car that was totalled like 2 weeks after it was put in. So, the gift was nice, but the usage was not.

    I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends - I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments. And that's when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up.
  • Best: He's bought me lots of jewelry over the years, diamond ring, diamond earrings (twice), diamond necklace, diamond watch. He has good taste. Smile

    Worst: He bought me an outfit once, a skirt and top from the Navy Exchange. It was HORRIBLE! We promptly exchanged it. He also bought me a mauvy purple Coach bag with funky detailing and C's all over it. We exchanged that too.

    Generally though, his gifting is REALLY good. I'm pretty spoiled.

    Could the rest be a trip to Graceland?

    EXACTLY what I was thinking.

    We actually went there on our honeymoon (among other places), so I think that is what inspired the book.  I actually have no idea what the rest of the gift is.  I never do.

  • best: the dog or my car

    worst: hm..this year is smallest we have ever done b/c of the wedding but i still like my gift: a garbage disposal (i wanted one so badly)
