So, what'd ya get?

We always talk about the gifts we buy for our kids, what we picked out for friends and family, and even the things we bought for the hubby.

But I want to know what YOU got this Christmas.

What were your favorite gifts? Did you get/do anything special? Any creative hubsters out there come up with a fantastic idea for you this year? Or did you go out and play Santa for yourself this Christmas? {Lots of mamas do!}

As for me, I got a lot of wonderful things this year. Because our goal was to use cash for every gift we gave to family & friends this Christmas {All 35 people! We didn't want to use a credit card for anything, big or small. Mission accomplished. =)}, Bob and I decided to set a limit for ourselves with exchanging gifts with each other for the first time ever.

And since I sent him a link with the exact directions/color/size/coupon code for the present I wanted this year, {what?} it meant that it was my one and only present from the hubster due to said limit. I didn't care AT ALL. They were all I hoped they would be.And more.

{I got him a Citizen Eco-Drive watch that I got a killer deal on. Thank you Amazon.}

Let's see... what else did I get this Christmas? A ton of gift cards {which I LOVE to get}... we're talking hair, MAC make-up {hmmm, I'm sensing that my family thinks I'm ugly} movies, dinners, Home Depot {for our upcoming bathroom remodel!!!} and many more. I also got some clothes {including my first pair of skinny jeans!} a beautiful Coach wallet from my sister, Kristi and tickets to see Les Miserables {when it comes to Philly later this month!} from my sister Kacy.

Amazing.

So, what'd ya get?....it's your turn!

I got an iPad! I had wanted it so bad...although, I returned it and waiting out the anticipation for the latest edition (hoping it has a camera, since we are big time skypers). Tory Burch Wedges that I had drooled over way too long and my parents also bought me the black sunglasses to match! LOVE. And a few other odds and ends, my Keurig Coffee Maker, and some Pandora Charms for my bracelet! The husband definately listen this year! I got him classes at the Culinary Academy in Boston, he's an amazing cook!

I got a Keurig coffee maker (LOVE!) and the "c" charm from Tiffany's to go with my "h". Now, I have one for each of my boys. I also got some clothes, shoes, gift cards and a new kitchen table!

Jealous of all your IPads :)

I got a Northface fleece and a beautiful monogrammed big jewelry box from the hubs {who got zilch from me since we had agreed we weren't doing gifts!) From my inlaws I got a gorgeous purple leather Coach purse, an ipad, panini grill, silver necklace and a bunch of other stuff {very spoiled!}. I also got Snow Village houses, new pjs, and all the ipad accessories.

@ Larissa- OH NO! If you wear a size 8, I could lend you mine until you order yours <3

@ Amy- We got my in-laws a Keurig Maker! And I LOVE the letter charms from Tiffany's. The "j" charm looks kinda weird though... I was thinking about changing my first name to "k" or "l" b/c I like them better ;)

jenni from the blog said...

@ Tessa- Did you get the jewelry box from Pottery Barn?? If so, I think I got my sisters the same one!

And my hubs and I must have asked each other 100 times "are you sure you stuck to the limit??" b/c we didn't want 1 person to have more than the other. We were both good! =)

Unknown said...

Jenni-too funny! It is the Pottery Barn one! My SIL got one too, so it must've been the gift to give this year. :)

Mary said...

From the hubs: the same Ugg boots you got in gray (I LOVE THEM!), a gift set from Bath and Body Works, and my favorite - six diamonds added to my wedding band. Amazing. He did good :)

My mom got Mike & I a new 32' flat screen for our bedroom (our old tv was a 19' box from the 80's that was given to us like ten years ago!)

Nice Christmas!!

jenni from the blog said...

@ Mary- Sounds like you were VERY good this year! So jealous about your wedding band!

Audrey said...

I got a trip to Austin over mlk weekend to see my bff!!! I kind of shopped for myself on that one! I also got a massage. I think my hubby sensed Mommy needs some time away an relaxation! Happy New Year!!!

Larissa: said...

SCORE! Send them over mamma :-) You are so sweet! LOL! I already have gray tall ones that can keep me warm until the end of the month! Thanks though!

For the first time in over twenty years, I only received toys for Christmas. My father-in-law got me an I-Pod Shuffle and my mother-in-law got us a WII system and my favourite game...Dance, Dance Revolution. We've been having a blast. It was a great Christmas!!

Erica said...

Cash...Cash...and more Cash from the family. Hubs got me a Bose docking station for my iPod and some cash, so I can purchase the Canon Rebel T1i, which I can't wait to get! I got him a new Vizio 42" Flat Panel for his man cave.
