UPDATE: The Burberry bag contained a classic Sandringham trench. I literally cried when I saw it. I have wanted one since I understood the brand and quality, and always said I hoped to own one "by the time I was 40" and DH did it a decade earlier.
Also, even sweeter, he wrote the dearest card for DD, calling her the joy of his life, and one for the baby, where he wrote the name of the baby "he'd chosen" in the card.
Backstory there, we'd been going back and forth, with him basically torturing me with delay to pick a name for baby boy. And he kept teasing he was going to choose it by himself. And I just was soooo frustrated even though I knew he was kidding. (hormones!) So, really, the card for baby #2 was kinda for me. He wrote "Dearest baby boy, this Christmas, I gift you with your name" and then he used rubber stamps (lol) to stamp out the name we'd both loved but he refused to fully commit to. I may have cried some more.
So jealous that you all got all this awesome stuff! My only Hanukkah present was my gift exchange stuff. Even when I was with my ex I never got a gift!

I'll send you a belated Hannukah gift!
You dont need to do that! But thank you for the thought. I'm just having a hard day sorry I shouldn't have commented
My DH really wanted to surprise me with an experience gift.
He got me Journey and Doobie brothers tickets. Lol! I was definitely surprised, haha. I don't know a single Doobie brothers song.
I would love to see Journey!!
I saw the Doobie brothers once at a conference. They were really good and you probably will recognize some of their songs! I said the same thing but I enjoyed myself
DH bought me tickets to go see 2 different plays with him at theater and he already arranged for babysitting both nights. He also signed me up for a photography course and I got a few new camera accessories. DS1 bought me earrings (silver ones that I can wear everyday) and DS2 bought me a mirror for my bedroom.
I got Skechers memory foam slip-ons, too. I didn't ask for them, but I'll take VillainV 's and @justdairy 's words that they will make my feet happy.
Kate Spade mini purse, earrings. Lululemon bag.
Stuff from my wish list: handheld vacuum, packing cubes, hydro flask
They definitely fall in the MM fugly shoe club I'm sure! They're just great for jeans and hoodies to go to the store/errands with the kids/run outside quick etc.
And call me old and unfashionable but I do wear them on super casual days at work with jeans. I can practically run in them they're so soft on the inside.

I plan on wearing them to Target and Costco with jeans or yoga pants...and maybe to the zoo on weekends with my son (it's on a hill so flip flops don't work). And probably to the mailbox. That's about it :-)
Kendra Scott tassel necklace, Swarovski halo stud earrings, winter hat, wine aerator, and hand cream from H. Pandora bracelet, socks, and philosophy stuff from my mom. Exploding Kittens game, more philosophy stuff, and GCs from others. All good!

I never can think of stuff I want.
It's weird though, MIL sent tons of gifts for DH and me, and 1 gift for DS (PB anywhere chair which is a great gift, but I was surprised she didn't send a toy or two)

We got a Keurig from H's parents which I am pumped about! They also gave us a generous gift card for a new tv. H got me some makeup and a Dunkin gift card. I got a bunch of candles and various gift cards from my mom. We still have Christmas with my dad tomorrow too. It's been a very nice Christmas so far!

I got a check for $500 from my dad. I know I suck because I'm considering using it to buy a roomba (or similar device). Also got some gift cards and pajamas and some floor cleaner thing from my mom, from QVC. She's the QVC queen.
I got a Fitbit chargeHR, a programmable crockpot, an exercise mat, new dishes, and a bunch of board/card games. I've been wanting to build my collection, can't wait til J is old enough to play!
@choco which scarf did you get? There's one I love that's a silk/cashmere blend but same thing with kids, I worry I would never wear it! DH got me an Hermès one a couple years ago that I never wear because I don't want to ruin it.
