This is so funny. I am the same way. I have 3 already and I do not need another. My husband kept hiding away in the basement the last few days. I knew it was something to do with my gift, but didn't push and tried hard not to be nosey! In my head I kept thinking, maybe he got me a puppy. I may never grow up. Haha!!! as if...It wasn't, but he managed to surprise me with some great gifts.

Wow, everyone got such great gifts - and such variety too...from a yorkie, to a charity gift, to coffee makers, a car starter, software, books, jewelry, boots, totes, and even a text message! They all sound just wonderful .

OHHH Oddsock, so lucky you were to get a little girl for Christmas. Part of me hoped beyond hope that DH would totally surprise me... but no such luck!

My favorite gift this year was a surprise from my DH... he got this bowl that I loved that I never made it back to the store to buy... nothing expensive but it was so pretty and I thought it would look great as a centerpiece bowl for our kitchen table. It does! I was just so shocked when I opened it by his thoughtfulness. He was not that impressed with it, but knew I loved it and had mentioned it awhile back, so he went quite a ways out of his way to get me the bowl. So sweet of him.

I knew their plans and we contacted Caleb's breeder, so knew 'she' was coming from a good breeder, whom we trusted.

Pippi

That is my kind of gift!

Beside the gift of having family and my pups to share Christmas with....I received an ipad mini! I was totally and pleasantly surprised. I am learning how to work it with the help of my daughter in law!

I'm a tea lover and my daughter got me a huge barrel of loose green tea. I need to figure out how to make it, but I am pretty stoked about it. My stocking was also filled with different flavor e-juices for my e-cigs which was pretty nice since they aren't cheap! I am stocked up for a while now.

congrats on the puppy, what a wonderful gift! Me and DH were a little short this year due to the wedding but I got new makeup and brushes that I needed desperately and was so proud that he figured out girly stuff all by himself lol.
I have to say though my favorite present was an ornament.
Every year my family has always gotten a special ornament that represents something unique about that year. I've continued that tradition and always get new ornaments for our tree. Of course it was all about the wedding this year and my parents got me this adorable ornament:
(my family has always called me Roni for short)

But a good friend surprised me by sending me a remote car starter! They're expensive, but he won it at a hockey game and didn't need it. I was flattered that he passed it on to me! They are oh-so-useful when it's -10 degrees out and you have to defrost your car before going anywhere.

How nice of your friend! Definitely a necessity where you live. I wanted one in Chicago but never got around to it.

We are similar to you and do presents at other times of the year. Thus, my favorite Christmas present was the smiles I received from Max and Teddy when I braved the freezing cold to take them walking at the park on Christmas day. They both stopped, looked up, and grinned like they were saying, "Thank you!.

Favorite is the remote car started my hubby got me, been wanting one for a while now. Bad news is cant get in for install until beginning of February.


My son got me silver hoop earrings and a hear necklace. My daughter got me a couple AE shirts, a pretty floral scarf and a coffee mug set that say "Keep Calm and Call Mom".


Best gift ever was that we were all together !

Awwwwwwww, love this answer. So sweet and genuine and yummy.

Now if you'd get your butt back to AZ someday, you wouldn't have to brave the snow, girl!

I could definitely use a winter home in AZ.

I got a dishwasher from my MIL for Christmas We are remodeling our kitchen and I love it!

[Carmeow]

Well.....I was hoping I'd get my engagement ring LOL but I have expensive tastes and won't settle for less...so I must be very patient for the ring.

Staying with the Disney theme...(bf took me to WDW last month as a surprise and our christmas tree and stockings were disney themed)

He asked all my friends and family to get me disney movies for christmas! So I ended up getting like 12 disney movies, which I was freaking ecstatic over because I've always had this dream to own a huge disney movie collection since my grandma had like, the coolest and biggest stash of disney VHS tapes. She promised I could have her whole collection one day, but they got stolen.

It's always been important to me to pass my disney addiction on to my children So it was super sweet that everyone got me a movie to start my little collection. I've been binging on them since christmas...so far I've watched Mary Poppins, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, and my personal favorite..the Aristocats

You totally win!! Oh what I would do for a bathroom remodel...
My favorite gift was my new Kindle Fire HDx

My son totally surprised me and got me the pink dog stroller I've been wanting! The poor thing went to a bunch of places before he found a pink one. He thinks it's silly to have a stroller for the pups, but he knew how much I had been wanting one. He even said that he will go for a walk with me tomorrow to try it out. If I can just figure out how to get the cats out of it long enough to get Puff into it!
My daughter (17 yo) got me the most beautiful necklace. Its from Kay Jewelers--the open heart design with a dog paw print! It's beautiful and I haven't taken it off yet.
I hope each of you had a great Christmas!
