What presents did you get?

[pipersjo]

I just got back from my mom and sister's and I got some homemade cookies (yum!) and a Yankee Candle. My SS at work got me a bracelet and earring set, a photo frame/lamp, a basket, and lots of chocolate. My best friend stationed in Iraq sent me a beautiful mug and some gourmet hot cocoa. Chris and I have exchanged gifts yet, but we won't until New Year's so I have no idea what he got me!

*ETA* I almost forgot-- I am buying myself a HTC Mogul smartphone! It's an awesome toy

I have gotten several things from different people at work. I got a nice box of white chocolate truffle chocolates that are fantastic. I got a cat mug, a very nice hand-made scarf. My boss added a $50 gift cetificate to pet smart with my christmas bonus which I thought was great.
I have pictures of my cats on my desk and he is forever telling everyone, those are Susan's Kids.

I'm afraid I'll forget something/somebody! I got a terrific gift basket from my boss and his wife. It's a wicker cat basket with a fuzzy pillow, piled high with all sorts of delicacies, wines, a cat calendar, candles, teas, etc.. Two TCS members sent packages of their own accord: fwan sent some souvenirs from Australia (love the kangaroo and koala pencil), and Rosiemac sent some special treats. Hubby and I exchanged gifts this evening, and he got me the perfect pair of gold hoop earrings - small, fat, and French posts instead of wires. Exactly what I would have chosen myself. One of my classes gave me a Bill Bryson book, in English, signed by the entire class, which I'll read and treasure. Hubby really liked his presents - solar "rock" lamps for his garden, and the 2007 Eric Clapton "Crossroads" concert on 2 DVDs. We had basically agreed not to buy each other presents this year, but to buy new oversized down comforters and matching sheets instead (heavenly!), but the little extras weren't unwelcome.

Christmas is almost over here.

I got a popcorn popper that I wanted. I LOVE popcorn!

Desperate Housewives DVDs, laundry basket and hamper, an old fashioned orange juicer, nesting tables, and some little bits and bobs. My grandparents gave me some anti-nausea bracelets and I am not sure why - I haven't reported any nausea.

My sister made me a scrapbook of my wedding showers and dress shopping. It is so pretty I nearly cried!! The book and everything in it is our wedding colors, Red and Ivory. It's so pretty!! I only know that because she didn't wrap it. Everything else, I'm going to have to wait until the morning.

I was spoiled!

Every year we each make a "wish list" and swap them around between family members. This year all I really wanted was a small donation to the "Emma's Education Fund". I've had those - but my darling man has given me a home-made gift card for free diving in Mexico in January! My dad bought me a sterling silver cat lapel badge and a 2008 calendar. I've had lots of home-made necklaces from my two nieces - one of them even has someone else's name on it

bless! Hrmn.... books and little silver cat fridge magnets and some home-made earrings. I love the home-made stuff most, so this year it was just perfect.

My boyfriends parents bought us a mini fridge. We live with them and its hard to share the fridge in the kitchen (especially because his dad eats everything). We didn't even ask for one, but his mom bought one and I love it.

I also got a new blow dryer, a spinning spa brush, pajamas, board game, socks, the Futurama movie and a bunch of candy and stuff in my stocking. Still have to go to my moms house and then my family Christmas later on today.

Oh, man. We had our real Christmas last night... Jess gave me a gorgeous cashmere sweater (that I already managed to get a spot of chocolate on, but luckily, that came out with some cold water); I got some $$ from grandma, and my parents spoiled me rotten... they gave Jess and I some new towels, socks, undies, pajama pants, shower gel, fancy shampoo... and my mom gave me two tubes of the makeup I use since it's expensive (I have super sensitive skin and everything irritates it). Also, slippers and silly little trinkets from Dad (as is tradition), homemade cookies and a gorgeous picture frame (with pictures in it!) from friends... yeah. I was spoiled rotten.

We opened gifts with my mom not too long ago. I got sketchers shoes, dangling earrings, (sweater was cancelled), money, gift card to Best Buy, winter coat, billions of softlips, usb gloves for when I am at the pc, 2 cd's and the 3 Borne Supremecy movies. DH got a sunbeam mixer, shoes, 3 pairs of pj bottoms, ornament with our names and a personalized holiday mug.

We didn't have a big Christmas this year because money is tight, but we each had 2 gifts to open last night. My BIG one was something I wanted but knew we couldn't afford. A new leather jacket. My old one is 10 years old, full of cat scratches and a size too small now, but I still wear it. Well, the first present I opened was a leather jacket!!

. The first thing I said was "are you insane????" He left the pricetag on it on purpose, and it was $200! (I spent maybe $50 on DH). He laughed at my little tirade, then informed me he got it on sale 85% off on black Friday. Well, then I was perfectly happy and so proud of my frugal husband! I also go much needed jeans. My SS at work got me a Waldensbook gift card

and, my cousin-in-law got me a oil candle. I LOVE candles, but always get worried with the cats...you know the feeling.

Oh, and MIL got Snuggles (our VERY BIG puppy) a new cage so she is in heaven. The rest will be exchanged tonight.

I got a nice sweater from John's mom this morning. And they gave me a nice quiet house for a few hours!

Everyone went to visit John's grandma at the nursing home and I stayed here so I could get some things done. I'm sooooo enjoying the quiet!

 

[emchelle]

My little sister gave me a framed drawing of Rex and Peanut that she created. Peanut was a lop rabbit, my heart bunny, and she died this past September. Rex is her bunny buddy who misses her dearly. The drawing is absolutely beautiful, she nearly made me cry.

My little brother gave me The Onion's Our Dumb World: Atlas of the Planet Earth. It's 100% hilariously, awesomely awesome. Totally.

From Mom and Dad...

- socks! (no, really, they're the nice ones. Smart Wool with really funky patterns.)
- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
- a box to hold sewing supplies, a pair of professional quality scissors, and a gift card to Joann's Fabrics
- a Moonbeam Alarm Clock
- a receipt for a pre-ordered copy of the complete Orthodox Study Bible
- an Aroma Joe's gift card
- Burt's Bees 'Hand Repair Kit' (it smells soooo good!)

plus cool things in my stocking like incense, car air freshener, 'Finding Nemo' on DVD, and pencils (okay, so there's this one type of mechanical pencil that I really love)

It was a pretty great Christmas
