The Clinique black honey gift set...my fave color since 8th grade (my first lipstick purchase!). My sister teases me for liking it for so long, but she is the one that bought it.
Some jewelry--c wonder anchor earrings, madewell stacking rings
Two j.crew factory shirts from my husband.
Target, sephora, academy sports and local boutique gift cards.
Glad you had a good Christmas with your family. Sucks about the IL's though.
Thanks so much, ditzydi. I'm doing ok, but I'm upset about MH. The only people to give him xmas gifts were my mom, dad, sister and me. MH and I bought a ton of gifts for everyone in his family for Xmas. His family are cheapass dicks. I hate cheap people, my #1 pet peeve. And not holding my breath for any thank you notes from them either. lol
I go through the same thing with my inlaws. MH is so incredibly generous with them and they're unappreciative and give him basically nothing. It breaks my heart for him because he deserves more from them. My family always spoils him, but it's still sad when we "exchange" gifts with them. This is our first Christmas as a married couple and we haven't shopped for his family yet since we won't see them for a few more weeks and I guarantee you our budget for their gifts this year is going to be much lower then the years pass.
I got a diamond tennis bracelet, a copper and silver cuff bracelet, a pendant that's a bird's nest with 4 little pearls in it, a tooled leather bag I plan to use in my purse as a makeup bag, and a big jug of Philosophy Candy Cane body wash, and a UV nail drying lamp.
One of the non S&B things I got that I love is a pewter tray with horses embossed on it, and horseshoe-shaped handles. My decor isn't western at all, but since I grew up with horses I like little horsey-themed things here and there.
My gifts were mostly S&B this year...H and I still haven't exchanged (we'll do that tmrw night once back in Denver; looking forward to it!). We're exchanging with SIL's fam tonight via FaceTime
But so far I got a number of things; some highlights: -Madewell modern slope sweater (pic) -JCF Peter Pan sweater (pic) < sadly this a medium is WAY too big and it's sold out so I'll return for credit -VS pj set -Patagonia and ON 1/4 zip pullovers (great for errands and snowboarding!) -Lily Dawson waterfall necklace (pic)
