jarerice Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Just a thought.... My don't we each name our favorite gift we got for christmas, who it was from and our age range.. It might help us down the Birthday Road for 2007. I (age 28) got a circle pendant with chain from my Dh. My MIL got me a computer chair.
Guest koby Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I got 2 children with smiling faces when they each rec'd THE gift they had been wanting for 2 years.
elena_398 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 My favorite that I received was a new digital camera from my husband. Kodak Easy Share Z710 w/ docking/ recharging station. The pictures are amazing
Guest radrobert Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I got a cool printer with a fax, copier and scanner... Best gift I got this year..
racerfan Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 My best gift was my DS crying when he and DD opened their Wii. It was something they were not expecting. Second best gift was my 32inch LCD Westinghouse from BB on BF.
trbarginhunter Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 A Cricut die cutter--and the news that DH actually price checked and got a refund when the price dropped a week after he bought it! I don't know who was more excited--DD or I, and I sure was proud of my DH!!!
KiriJoan Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 When my Fiancee proposed 13 months ago, he gave me a CZ ring with a vacation to the Bahama's. We had heard of another couple doing something similar a few months prior and I thought it was cute. I don't really wear jewelry so spending 1,000 on a ring vs. 1,000 on a trip to the bahama's... I liked the Bahama's. Well, the wedding date is set for April 1st of next (or I guess this) year and we've been trying to pick out wedding bands. I had just picked out a simple band that matched the titanium one we picked out for him. Christmas morning I woke up to freshly squeezed OJ and my fiancee down on one knee again. He bought me new ring, with 13 diamonds... one for every month I had gone with out. It's a bridal set too. Needless to say, I cried my eyes out. That and the 42" Plasma we bought eachother for Christmas. :)
cotejb Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 A Cricut die cutter--and the news that DH actually price checked and got a refund when the price dropped a week after he bought it! I'm so jealous! I guess my best present was b4 Christmas...I got myself a Canon SD630 digital camera
childofsolitude Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I'm 19 and I received Dance, Dance Revolution from my aunt and uncle. Fun stuff!
USC Becca Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 moved to Deal Discussion, as this wasn't asking for gift suggestions :)
inluvstill Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I (34) got a 4 stone Mother's ring from DH and our 4 kids! It is precious!
inluvstill Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I got 2 children with smiling faces when they each rec'd THE gift they had been wanting for 2 years.Okay, curiosity is killing me. What was THE gift??? I bet that was pure bliss watching them open it up!!
ButterBee Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Yes, have to agree that watching your kids open presnts is the best present. The look on DS face when he opened his Ipod Shuffle ($29.00 one) and his new laptop was best present of all. He wanted them but wasn't expecting either one. Without you guys don't think we would have been able to afford them both. Thanks! :) Personally, loved circle pendent DH gave me.
biomajor Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I bought myself my favorite gift--It's the Disney village set from Sam's. I saw it marked down to $30 and grabbed it!! I've now bought Cinderella's castle and Pooh's Tree on 75% off at walgreen's to go with it too. Now I just have to find some little trees and I'll be set for next year!! My kids were happy and excited with their presents. That was good :) My husband and I are separated, but he still surprised me and bought me the Wolfgang Puck sakuro knife set from sam's I'd mentioned I wanted and I got Lisey's Story from my son. My daughter spent all of her Christmas present money that I had given her on presents for her friends, her boyfriend and his parents so she didn't get me anything, other than "you said the Village was your present to yourself, so I didn't think I needed to get you anything" Ungrateful little snot LOL Honestly though, after the last 5 months I've had, I didn't care whether Christmas came or not.
Guest koby Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 inluvstill, My 18 yr old DD rec'd a Dell laptop that we sort of bought out of guilt, at the last minute, at the Dell kiosk. I ended up wrapping a picture of it in 4 diff. size boxes. We picked it up on 12/27(her b'day) at UPS and all is well. My 13yrDD who is very athletic, plays basketball and her NBA hero is Juan Dixon(formerly a Wash. Wizard) and now plays for Portland Trailblazers. He grew up in Baltimore(where we live) and she attends his camp each summer at Loyola College. Anyway, we were able to snag 2 front row seats for 2/11, behind the Portland bench. The game is against the Wizards in D.C. As the gifts were unwrapped the whole family cried, even DH. It was a kodak moment!!!
shanni Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 My samsung Symcmaster 940BW 19in flat screen monitor, hubby did good this year!
sheli Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Tough Call!!! I love all my gifts from DH this year. King Down Comforter- from Cuddledown (and 75% discount-i love that part) Remote car starter M*A*S*H box set (all 11 years) and the little clip on ipod shuffle. It was a great christmas!!!

lovebears65 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I got a journey necklace before christmas because Dh retired said my job was harder then his.. For Christmas I got my dell computer XPS .. with my 22 inch monitor .. I also got my front loading washing machine but that is not really a gift its just something I wanted really really bad.. Dh got his reef tank and his Bose surround sound system and KIds got Wii and PS3:gdparanoid:
kboyts Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 My wife got me a logitech harmony remote and its a god send! No more 1.5 hour sessions with the babysitter before I leave explaining to them which remote does what to work the TV LOL
trbarginhunter Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 ejpoeta I totally understand! I love the Cuisinart I got last year--it says bread baking and cooking fun to me. Vacum cleaner says work. But, honestly, DH does most of the vacuming since I have a bad shoulder. But he knows--no cleaning products, baking/crafting products--or books!
Guest conc3pt Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Samsung D807 cellphone. It's really awesome!
misshayley Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 A beautiful necklace that DH had a friend of mine who is a jeweler make. I am really picky about jewelry and I love what he designed. It is a heart shaped mystic fire topaz placed in a white gold mounting with a white gold chain. I was very surprised.
tlock1945 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I am very proud of my husband too, he bought me 2 collectible houses and a framed print from the Mitford series by Jan Karon. They were made by Hallmark several years ago, so he was on ebay alot! I couldn't believe he remembered me talking about these books and how much I loved them! He also got me a Paul Mitchell flat iron which is awesome! And a pink mp3 player...he did good!
krissy904 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 My absolute favorite was a framed professional photo of my 3 kids, son (6), daughter (23), daughter (24), okay I might not have my daughters ages exactly correct but it's pretty darn close. Also a tinkerbell velvet bag from a board member that is really special to me (she knows who she is).
