Do you know what you are getting for Christmas?

[starryfish]

I know 1/2 of what the BF is getting me. I think my sister and parents bought off my Amazon wishlist.

[Deleted]

Exchanging gifts between adults isn't really a thing in my family.

But I've been looking for a big antique rock on rubylane.com. So I suppose I'm gifting myself.

[mbcdefg]

Pretty sure my sister is getting us a gift card to a restaurant we like, since she texted me to ask the name of it.

I know MH ordered me something from Sephora but I don't have a good idea of what it might be. I'm thinking it's either the Tarte concealer that I have on my Amazon wish list, or the women's perfume sampler since he recently said something about wishing there was a way to sample a bunch of different scents ... I don't know if he was dropping that as a hint as to what he got me, or if he was hinting at it for himself (I hope it's the latter, because I've already bought him the men's cologne sampler!).

I'm also going to predict that MH has gotten me some sort of book, and a pair of earrings from Berricle.

[ECB]

I know of a couple things. HOPEFULLY the coat I told DH I wanted, he ordered, I tried on but it was too big... I'm hoping he successfully traded it in for my size.

I picked out the purse that my step-mom is going to give me. As in I was next to her as she bought it.

[ddi741]

I'm pretty sure I know what my parents are getting us, mainly because I was the one that gave them the list when they asked. I have no idea what H is getting me. He is an awesome gift giver so I am very excited.

[tine]

Yup, I picked it out.

[liveintheville]

Yep. From H and my parents.

[irene adler]

No. I know my mom is sending us cheese.

I've always hated receiving gifts. I've never felt I've done anything to deserve them, except in an exchange situation (level playing field) or from DH. <--I'm sure there is some fancy psychological followup that should happen

[bostonmichelle]

I know that I'm at least getting a pair of running tights and a pair of running smartwool socks from DH as I picked them up for him. Oh and a running jacket that is reflective. That's about 1/3-1/2 of my gifts not entirely sure what else he got me.

[hopenotlost]

From DH, I know of at least one thing. A box from Lush came in the mail today addressed to him...obviously not for him lol.

From my dad, no clue.

From my mom, honestly I'm hoping she went straight off my wish list I had on amazon. She has a tendency of buying useless crap that I will end up donating.

[lizrd7579]

We get gift cards from my parents, but do the game where you can steal from one another, so I never know what I'll wind up with.

I gave DH a list, but have no clue. I'm pretty sure he got me the lifters I wanted, but that's it.

[Susie]

I already got my big thing from Calvin.  Just imagine a big red bow on the treadmill:



My parents are always generous with Christmas gifts though and I have no idea what they have up their sleeves.  Last year they got me a sewing machine which was unexpected.

[L]

I picked out my big gift and H gave it to me last week for my birthday. No clue what's in store for Christmas but since my birthday purse was more $$$ than normal, H was told not to go overboard.

[mollybrown]

Yes. I picked and purchased every single thing. I told H not to even bother wrapping anything since there is no element of surprise. We normally don't exchange gifts because it usually turns out just like this.

[ssmjlm]

My mom got me a silhouette.

I sent DH a list with links. I don't think that helped my chances though. I'm practicing my surprised this is the best thing ever face.

[Deleted]

You know, I have no idea! I am 99% sure my BF hasn't bought me anything yet - he was planning to worry about shopping after his finals are over, and he just had his last one last night. Most of my wishlist is on Amazon so he still has plenty of time...

I know my mom bought me one of the scarves I had on my wishlist - only because I bought one of them for my work secret santa, and Amazon was so kind to tell me that it had already been purchased. lol.

Other than that - no idea. I'm only getting gifts from my parents and BF and I gave them a bunch of options but didn't really express a preference for anything over anything else. I'm secretly hoping my BF buys me either a wallet or a right hand ring that I have on my list, but I don't want to tell him exactly what to buy because it's more fun to be surprised than it is to pick out exact gifts (unless there is something I'm really stuck on, which isn't the case this year).

If he doesn't get me the wallet, I'm pretty sure I'll use money from my Grandma to buy it myself. Oh, I guess I know I'm getting cash from her (since she recently had hip replacement surgery and can't shop) but IDK how much.

[genet313]

i think I'm getting a new purse from DH.  I really need a pair of new black boots, but my feet are a bit bigger in pregnancy and I don't want to buy them until afterwards to see if they shrink.  FX they do, b/c I am not real keen on replacing half my shoe collection...

my parents bought us a garbage disposal!  whee.  

[msmerymac]

I hand out a list. I mean, not randomly, I give people ideas when they ask me. I tailor it towards who gets the list. I know my mom would prefer to buy smaller, physical gifts so I have a lot to unwrap rather than a more expensive gift. My MIL loves cooking and likes to go to the outlets, so I usually ask for Le Creuset.

I hope my mom is getting me some Hourglass blush. I know she's getting me pajama pants and more clothing. I think my husband is getting me a Kiko Alonso jersey.

[sa]

I got my gift from H last night - diamond studs!!

[raangoli]

I know half of what I am getting because I sent him links and said "this is a good deal; please buy this for me". He said he's bought other things and I think I know what at least one might be, the other will be a surprise.

[IrishBelle]

I bought my gift from DH so I know that one. He may surprise me with something extra. He has done that in the past.

My parents usually get us a small joint gift and we don't do any adult exchanges.

This is me. I picked out & purchased my new laptop and began using it at the beginning of the month. Oh, and also a gold necklace. 

Last night his dad called to say he was buying us a new gas grill and even told us the specific model. Not many surprises with the male in-laws.

[UnderProtest]

Yep, a vacuum cleaner and earrings (hint husband, don't take the chatty toddler with a perfect memory shopping with you).

[cajunmom]

I have no idea. I had given him several ideas for small things and I think he got them for the kids to give to me but I don't know what he's giving me himself.

[Pom]

A box came from Tommy Bahama that he marked "Don't open" so I suspect it's some jewelry and flip flops with starfish that I like for our trip to Florida.

My mom writes us nice checks....always the perfect gift, lol.

I sent her cheesy romance novels and an actual wheel of cheese-she loves baby swiss!

[sarapocalypse]

Yep! Bought my gift that DH is getting me. The rest I am pretty sure came from my Amazon wishlist (ILs sent wrapped Amazon stuff). My parents may have gotten me a surprise or two but wouldn't be surprised if it is all from my wishlist.

[dirtyred]

I bought the gift that is going to be from DH to me, so yes, I know.

[lauralala]

I know all but a couple of things that I am getting from DH, and I know that he bought the unknown things at Sephora, so I have some good guesses. My sister probably got me something at the Le Creuset outlet, and I think my mom was contributing to that gift this year.

I don't mind knowing.

[Deleted]

Yup. Disneyland. :-)

[bugandbibs]

More or less I know all of my main gifts. I like surprises, but my family likes wish lists.

I had a really hard time making my list this year. It was depressing.
