Best Christmas/Chanukah Gift?! Poll...IHO Margie Winning

So, IHO Margie GIViNG the best gift evah.....

what was the best gift you received and why?

 

 ME:

DH got me a little digital key chain that can hold up to 60 photos - and he already had it loaded with 60 pics of my kiddos. 

I just really liked that he went the extra step and had it all loaded for me so it wasn't just a keychain anymore.... 

Re: Best Christmas/Chanukah Gift?! Poll...IHO Margie Winning

  • The best gift was finding out that baby h is a girl; although it didn't /doesn't matter to me I'm glad we know now. My second fave gift was a beautiful mother and child necklace from my nephews, oh then my Coach purse! Oh wait...I got a beautiful glider too- I was seriously spoiled!

  • i got three gifts this year I really love, new perfume from the IL's it smells so good, a new coach scarf and a new Michael Kors bag. The H really knows how to spoil.

  • M got me an iPhone, but he gave it to me a few weeks ago...then he totally surprised me with UGGS...ones that I've been wanting for the last two years. He went over the top and over budget but I'm a very happy girl :)
  • Mom and Dad got me a new Coach bag with a matching wallet and almost the entire OPI Muppets Collection (minus the none sparkly ones because they're boring lol) and from J, he's giving me a big chunk of change towards my first LV bag  so that will be my favorite when I actually have it. I still have a few more gifts to go so I may be adding to this later.
  • iPhone!!!! Im currently trying to set it up now

  • I am still awestruck every time I look at J, and I see him as such a gift, so I guess every gift pales in comparison for me right now. The holidays seem to have made the joy even more surreal.  Plus, the little stinker has been napping well today so we are in super BFF mode right now.

    But, I really love the pandora necklace and charms from DH and the tricked out drainboard from my sister. I am getting to be an old fart if I get this excited over kitchen paraphernalia.

    Sorry Margie, this is my vote for the win.  All the hormones still racing through me I suppose.  So, so thrilled for you, LPQ

    This is all true! 

    And to clarify, I never meant that I win for all Christmas in all of the Hudson Valley. I win in my house. LOL

  • I guess the best physical gift I got was an Ipad, which is funny because I didn't even realize i wanted one until it got into my grubby hand.

    the actual real best gift was that I found out exactly how excited A is about the little guy brewing in my belly.  He put up a little stocking and overheard him talking about it to family members.  Since it wasn't a planned thing, its nice to hear positive things :)

  • Total dork here - my family doesn't exchange between adults for Hanukkah, but my brother and his girlfriend got Samantha these bento boxes I wanted for a while to use for daycare lunches and I freaking love them! I am having such fun packing their lunch. Their two snacks are still boring, but I am feeling quite creative and proud of nice well rounded lunches last week!

    He and his girlfriend  were not thrilled to get these because they don't think plastic ware is gift worthy for a child, but the kid needs nothing at all, except bento boxes.

    Margie, you did WIN BIG at your house. I love that you had both Mini and Mr in tears, that is a serious WIN! Teach  me your ways... :)

  • LPQ and MrsRedMoose both had me tear up :)

    The BEST gift this year was seeing G start to understand Christmas.  He was so, so excited after opening each gift.  The process took forever because he asked us to "help" open each one after unwrapping so that he could play with it right away, before coming back for the next.  It was an amazingly sweet morning :)

    Physical gifts...DH completely surprised me with a Kindle Fire!  I dodn't even think I had interest on one until i opened it and started playing with it...so freaking cool. And, he also bought me a beautiful family embrace necklace representing us and both boys to wear as soon as baby #2 is born. I teared up at that one.

    LOL x 100000 because I just typed "wang" by mistake instead of "wing." I should've left it that way. Hahahahahaha
