[flirt5721]

I got a:

A Necklace/Earring set
A gift card to Radio Shack
A set of Classic pens
A Picture frame
A glass from the Dallas Cowboys pro shop
A trip to Vegas for New Years

[AOII Angel]

I got an iphone from my husband; a warm blanket from Restoration Hardware, a tabletop christmas tree and a set of pajamas from my parents, two iTunes gift cards from my brother and sister; a gift card to Williams-Sonoma which has already been spent on a table runner from my sister; a fluer-de-lis pewter wine holder with replacement cork, a fluer-de-lis pewter cracker dish and a framed photo of Mike the Tiger (my Uncle took a great pic at his cage right after LSU got him) from my Aunt and Uncle; money from my grandmother; a huge basket of gourmet foods from my friends in Dallas.

We also bought Guitar Hero World Tour Complete Band...the drums are hard, and now my forearm is sore from playing bass all day yesterday!

[lovespink88]

Apparently I was very good this year!

The roommate and my other friend who I exchanged gifts with got me cute tops from Express and Forever XXI.

I got cash & gift cards from relatives (always a great gift!)

My brother got me awesome, bright pink headphones to replace the ones that I broke a few months ago.

My BF completely surprised me with beautiful diamond earrings. It's funny because I'm not really an earring kind of girl (I had them pierced when I was 6 months old, and my mom just kept them in when I was young. I stopped wearing them when I started dressing myself) but I never want to take these out!!

And Santa (aka my parents) got me:
- Estee Lauder Perfume - Pleasures
- A really nice Estee Lauder make up set (Tippiechick, I think whoever shopped for you found the "buy a Estee Lauder fragrance and get a make up set" deal too! lol)
- AWESOME slippers... It was the thing I really, really wanted... my feet are always so cold
- A cute sweater & scarf
- A laptop case
- And a hoodie from my brother's high school (I went to an all girls high school and he goes to an all boys school...when I was in high school the boys I hung out with were from the other all boys school in the area...so even though I've graduated, I decided I should support my brother's school)
- A VS gift card

It was a great Christmas for me, and what's even better is for once I think I got everyone on my list stuff they LOVED:

I got my roommate this flavored shooter set & an Outback giftcard.

I got my other friend a set of cocktail mixers (it makes 12 different cocktails! I wanted to buy it for myself...)

I got my brother an iTunes giftcard, since his iPhone is basically glued to his hand.

I got my bf a body pillow which he's been wanting for a while and a White Sox shirt.

I got my parents mugs that I had made... they each have a different picture that I took from our favorite beach in Puerto Rico. And then my brother and I pitched in for a nice digital picture frame.

Christmas was a success

We are going up to Maine for a couple of days, so I expect to be able to do some serious shopping while there to make up for his massive gaffe.

I'm really sorry to hear that...I'm really hoping he has a surprise for you
