What holiday gifts are you getting?

Well, we all know what RuthyB got! LOL!!!! For the rest of us, do you know what you're getting?

Here's what DH has gotten me (we don't surprise each other; that was disastrous):

Gorgeous necklace from eBay:

A slate cheese board (sorry, no pic), but it's nice. It had erasable, stand-up tags that you write the names of the cheeses on, and cheese knives.

An iced tea maker:

(BTW, I bought one of these for my friend; she loves it!)

A Double-Dipper mini Crock-Pot (it's a tiny Crock-pot that you melt dips, fondue, etc. and it keeps them hot. We had a fondue party last night, and used it--nice!):

I also buy myself a gift or two. I also have gift money from earlier gifts to use up. Ebay again!!!!

  I did buy myself a triple-crock Bella buffet server. You keep the 3 foods hot--kind of like 3, 2.5 qt. Crock-Pots in a row. When we entertain, we usually have buffets. This should be very useful.

I am not getting anything. No one in my family can afford it. We just all pitched and got stuff for the kids. (My niece and nephew).

I know I am getting a spice rack that I really needed.. I am getting tired of spices falling on my head each time I grab them from the cabinet! lol.

everything else is a surprise.. I am really hoping for another picture wall calendar from my nieces.. it was beautiful seeing a new pic each month at work

Nothing that I'm aware of. Current situations haven't really left me feeling Christmas-y, and my family usually insists on saving the money for bills and stuff (since $ is tight with my parents in recent years).

I'm going to NJ and getting myself a new tattoo while I'm there as a gift to myself though.

I'm pretty sure I am going to get Dolphin Tale!

A very close friend of mine got me a kindle. Df got me the last two harry potter movies to complete my collection. My mom normally gives us cash so all any Christmas money we get pays bills so I can do woo woo grocery shopping with paychecks. Lol

If I get anything from the evil in laws (I hope I don't) I don't know what it is. I still don't want to see them holidays or not.

I think I may get an e-reader! I got an iPod for my birthday yesterday though Thrilled about that!!!

My dh is having a new car  he has got to sell his first thought,his current one just eats fuel so now times are hard we need to make cut backs.My kitty will still last longer than his car though and I will get far more pleasure out of her.I am hoping for a new dress to wear on christmas day though so I think he will have to take me shopping .We don't usually do gifts the kids always come first but sometimes its nice to treat each other.x

DH and I went shopping yesterday and bought ourselves smartphones. Our ancient cellphones were dying (my "i" key rarely worked and it would freeze on me all the time), and our contract with AT&T had just expired. So we went for a cheaper plan with a different carrier. Now I just need to figure out all the cool things it can do. First thing I did this morning - wrote myself a to do list on it. Last night I set up a new gmail account. This could be a lot of fun.

Rick is giving me the Nook Tablet. I also know about the new Stephen King book that he's giving me. And a gift card to Barnes and Noble. The kids are giving me the extra storage disk for the Tablet and a gift card to Barnes and Noble. Other than that, I'm not really sure.

Oh, and Rick told me that Hannah (the Tucson) is a combination Christmas gift and birthday present since my birthday is in January.

There are always lots of surprises but here are the things I know about.

From Dana: A large framed Angelina Wrona print, Redemption. Also 3 tops that I picked out. I have to pick out my own clothes.

From Mom: A cute pink purse and 2 pairs of jeans. (I always have to try pants on because different makes fit so differently.) I also got my camera lens early last month from mom.

DH and I decided we didn't really need much this year so we went and bought ourselves expedition backpacks. (He bought mine, I bought his - the cashier thought it was cute. )

One of our goals as a couple since we first got together has always been to do multi-night backcountry hiking trips. I used to do these trips when I was younger (with borrowed gear) and loved it. He's always wanted to but never had the chance. so we went and got fitted for packs and plan to take our first 3-day hiking trip this summer.

Our gift to ourselves was the cruise we just came back from --- and painting our house!

I ave no idea what im getting I havent asked for anything in particular me and blaine just get surprises and he always picks well

I know I'm getting a couple of books I asked for,theDVD of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS,a pack of HARRY POTTER UNO CARDS, and a ring watc. What else I'm getting is a surprise.

My mom keeps telling me that I'm not getting much this year because they've had to help me out a lot in the past month, they paid my rent for December and then paid my first/last month's rent at my new place (I was NOT expecting that), but she always says that and I still end up with more stuff than I need. 

I think I am getting a KitchenAid food processor that I asked for - I pointed it out to my mom every time we were in WalMart (It was on clearout for less than 1/2 price!). My dad and I were shopping for my mom when I made him buy me a calendar by my favourite photographer. For a combined Christmas/birthday present (my birthday is in January) they are getting me a new couch because they insist that I should throw out the ones I have now when I move - and they're right on that, lol. 

I know what the dogs are getting from them, Sadie is getting a new collar and leash set, they're getting a set of jerky treats (I picked them out so I know they weren't made in China). Other than that I don't know... my mom said that she finished up Christmas shopping for the pets today, lol. 

I'm not completely sure, but I'm pretty sure the BF bought me a sewing machine. I've been wanting a new one for a while. My mom bought me a set of folding camping chars (the ones that collapse into a carry bag), and although I told her not to get me anything, she has a great eye for deals and always picks up presents throughout the year 

I bought my own Christmas gift.  Plants vs. Zombies for the DS.  My daughter is getting a 3DS so I get her old one!

Hubby just bought me a bedroom suite. It will be delivered on the 30th. I suspect he bought me a kitchenaid pro- mixer. We saw one on sale for $200 off reg price. He said he didn't buy me anything else, but he was hiding something on the trunk of the car.

Pix, please!!!!
