Tell me about your haul!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, if you celebrate it.

Now let's get to the commercial stuff--what'd you get? Wink

My family got me some pretty awesome stuff, some of which was on my list and others were great surprises:

an iPod Nano to replace the one I lost
some iPad accessories
bluetooth headset for my phone
amethyst earrings
Harmony interchangeable circular knitting needles
yoga gift certificate

...and a bunch of other little things.  I'm feeling very lucky and chock full of fun new toys to play with!

 

I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

Re: Tell me about your haul!

  • I got

    • A dressy watch
    • A causal watch
    • GCs to starbucks, Outback, massage and spa day
    • pajamas
    • warm fuzzy socks
    • a pashmina

  • I got a lot of gift cards - Pyara (for a massage), Kindle, Crate and Barrel, and Stop and Shop. (My brother - he's kind of practical by nature, heh).  I also got leather gloves, a set of kitchen knives, Absolutely Fabulous (the complete series), the Heathers special edition set, and the last two seasons of Friends on dvd (I had all the rest).  Plus some tchotchkes and a TON of candy.
  • We got a ton of gift cards and a video camera. 

  • I got a lot of random things from my ILs (a blanket, a flashlight, a piece of pottery, some spices from March that they bought in GA when they were there). SIL bought me a gorgeous silver necklace and a coach clutch.

    DH got me matching sapphire necklace & earrings (DDs birthstone)

    My parents got me new winter boots. 

  • DH did well, and I'm very impressed with his shopping abilities.  He got be a necklace with layers and multiple purple beads and such (very pretty).  And a kitchen rug that looks like a bowl of cherries (my kitchen is cherries), it is so cute!!  We bought a new Keurig since ours broke, and I need coffee, especially over the long weekend.  Got some $$ from the parents to cover that.  The rest where things I bought myself.....a purple sweater, purple fake Uggs, a kitty calender. 

    It was a low key Christmas, but pretty great!

  • Kindle Fire from H, white gold earrings from ILs, a bunch of random stuff (crock pot, pajamas, candles, etc), and a bunch of gift cards.

    There's a special edition set of Heathers??? F me gently with a chainsaw!  I might need to find that. When I was in high school we would have Heathers nights where we would get together, watch the movie, eat pizza, rice crispy treats, doritos and green kool aide... (is it any wonder that I was not popular in High School?)

    Love Ab. Fab. I saw Ab. Fab. the first time I visited Boston. A friend of mine had an apt. on Tremont Street in the late 90's when it was the "gay ghetto" as he called it. When I came to his house he had a bottle of Stoli and Moet waiting and we watched a few seasons. It was a blast!

     

  • I had a great holiday. Visited my family in Baltimore and had a wonderful dinner at my fabulous sister's amazing home.

    Here's the loot... 

    • All Clad French Skillet Set (which I returned and bought other All Clad pieces and a Calphalon fry pan)
    • RL hoodie and sweater (The hoodie is sooooo comfy, I think it might be my new favorite piece of clothing.)
    • Steak knives
    • KA cover 
    • Ted Baker shirt that I have coveted for a long time.
    • Hermes cologne that I have also wanted for a long time (from my sister.... I told you she is fabulous!)

    I also gave my self a massage at Exhale Spa today and bought myself a fun pair of pants at Nordstrom, when I was supposed to be looking for something for SO.... oops. (Oh... I made the massage appointment the other day when I was getting SO's gift certficate...)

    Yes! It comes in a locker, with a t-shirt, magnets, and a "yearbook." It's delightful.  Apparently, there are three variations of the t-shirt- I got a "Greetings and Salutations" one.

    I love this movie so. much. I didn't see it for like 5 years, and when I re-watched it, I was amazed how many of the things I said almost every day came from this movie. My husband had never seen it until I forced him to watch it when we were first dating. I called him a communist. :)
