I got:
A huge basket of Godiva chocolates. It's like heaven. I got it from work and it's seriously one of my favorites this year.
I also got another big chocolate tower. And then a big box of European crackers. I loved it.
I got a knit sweater, another sweater, an assortment of Stila/Mac make ups, make up bag, notepads, a box of cologne/perfume, an expensive picnic basket and a DVD.

I got an Olay body wash gift set from H. Lol-worthy, but it is the first Christmas in years that's he's gone shopping, hidden the gift, wrapped the gift, and given me something Christmas morning. He hates every aspect of gifting so I really appreciate it.
IDK why he hates Christmas gifting. He does well on bdays/anniversaries! Usually I get jewelry then.
From DH: a Tiffany "Mom" charm engraved with DD's initials, Godiva hot chocolate, a plaque with DD's hand and foot prints and a spot for a 5x7 photo, and a Willow Tree figurine. From my parents: a pair of Merrell sneakers, 2 pairs of jeans, 3 sweaters, 3 shirts, 1 set of PJs. From my ILs: backyard fence (joint gift with DH) and some ornaments. From my aunt: $50 cash to split with DH. From DH's aunt, uncle and cousins: PJs, a sweatshirt, 2 scarves, 2 pairs of gloves, Naked on the Go, and a rose gold wishbone necklace.
Ooh, where are these from? I'm sure they're out of my price range, but I can dream! :-D
It's actually very cheap it's $30 since it's fake leather upper. It's good and works great with my wider calf, but I wouldn't able to walk very far with it. And one of the heels seem to slip, or maybe it's just how I walk. I would keep it in my rotation, but I won't expect it to last more than a season or two
DH got me the Amy Poehler book I wanted, a gift set of Marc Jacobs perfumes (and they all smell yummy), 2 cashmere sweaters (that are very pretty but I don't do cashmere - too clingy on my not-petite-anymore frame - but they were not cheap and it was a sweet thought), a portable camera printer (I debated between this and the Fujifilm and for some reason the printer won out. I may regret this and buy the Fujifilm or Polaroid camera anyway for the occasional fun event) and a gorgeous pea-coat. My favorite thing, however, just might be the stupidest gift ever that I have been playing with every time I see it and I just had to finally get it...a Perplexus. It's enough to make a saint curse and I am certainly no saint. I need to practice my patience and this works well.
Several years ago, ML turned my H into Sir Shark Slippers bc he gave me the same pair of shark slippers two years running (with back story, it wasn't that bad lol)
This year beats everything!
Disclaimers - yes, this is what I asked for. Several times. And it's been 3 years of "for the love of the flush, will you please replace the 20-year-old early model low-flush toilets!!"
We installed these toilets in our house in December and I love them!
I got: Wireless bluetooth speaker iPhone charging station House slippers Dicecapades NAKED palette and a bunch of stocking stuffers
H 'adopted' the giraffes at the local zoo, in my name ( remember Autumn, the giraffe that everyone watched give birth a couple of years ago - them), plus we got passes for the zoo. He hot me some great tops, bowling shoe covers, a new tea pot, Taylor Swift CD and a few other things. We got clothes, bathroom towels, new wooden spoons, measuring cup and coffee grinder, $, candles, gift cards family & friends. Even without the gifts, it really was a great holiday this year, lots of fun, great food and great times
