My family exchanged gifts last night:
- Money. Dad got a new job with a substantial raise so the cash portion of our (brother and I) gifts was also more substantial. Though short of the new cars we both fantasized about, lol.
- Clinique Happy. Very observant mom! She was in my apartment and noticed my bottle was running low. That isht's expensive, so yea!
- nice sweater set
- Stocking stuffers are the crown jewel in my family, my mom goes all out to find stuff. Godiva chocolate, an ice cream scooper, bath fizz thingys, a nice pen, nailpolish, hair clips, a cute little jewelry box for when I travel, Sarris chocolate, malted milk balls, christmas ornaments
- little brother did good in his gifts to everyone this year- I got a bottle of BBW Black Raspberry Vanilla body lotion and a scarf and gloves from the Gap.
- roomate got me a big Yankee candle in Chocolate Chip Cookie, guess it's one of their new scents since i've never seen it before!
- the Ove-Glove (like a glove to use to grab hot things... never seen them before, but apparantly they're much more than a oven mitt). This was the limit of dad's shopping for me. Mom buys, dad pays usually, lol
- giftcard to JCPenney's from my aunt/godmother. Since i'm not a huge fan of the store, it will go towards buying and armchair and ottoman for my living room from their furniture dept.
This is my first xmas not waking up in my parents' house (my apt is now only 15 minutes away- rather sleep in my bed than on an air mattress!), very strange! Did have one present to open- the one from the new mr. kddani (new being all of 6 days!). Got 1/2 dozen BBW lotions in the small bottles and some handsoap. After helping him shop for his family and stuff, I know he's a good gift-giver
vday here we come! hehe.
