Sister, Aunt, Grandmother- Personalized mailing address stamps and holly trees from Harry and David
Sister- Trip to Paris in April
Brother and SIL- Teach your baby set of flashcards (I think this stuff is cheesy, but they were so excited about it!) My husband also sent my brother a "Three wolves" shirt which is apparently a huge internet joke.
Nieces and nephews- assorted toys including an animatronics lion that has fascinated my 5 yo niece
Friends- PS2 (2), Nordstrom gift certificate (1), Sunglass hut gift certificate (1), Tina Tang earrings, Broadway.com gift certificate (2),
The Red Book by Jung, novelty t-shirts including an Obama Superman t-shirt that says "Yes, We Can Fly!" that we got in Japan of all places
Received:
Husband: iMac 27" It is so beautiful! This is our family present, but I have been wanting a new desktop for YEARS! Stephen kept saying we'd get a new computer when we move...like when will that happen!
Parents: Purple Coach purse and wallet. I've been using it since October when they came to visit so it's hard to remember that it is a Christmas present!
They also sent us our Christmas dinner a 4# beef roast from Kansas City Steaks which was great. My mom is QVC obsessed so she also sent a Cheesecake which was pretty good and a pair of earmuffs which came in handy during the Great Blizzard '09! Oh...and some really great pajamas! She also sent my husband money and pajamas.
Sister: Calphalon Pasta Pot- I asked for this since I have killed more pots by steaming things but forgetting to add water to the pot...yeah, not a good idea! She sent a really nice one with a steamer basket and strainer basket included. Very nice!
Brother and SIL: Home made Pralines and Fudge. Too bad I have mice and made the mistake of leaving these out. They got to the fudge before I could. Damn mice!
Sister: Her lovely presence to annoy me in Paris!
Friends- We see many of them next week in Dallas for New Year's so we'll exchange gifts then, but so far, I received a beautiful lavender sequined purse from Coach that I ooh'd and aah'd over in front of my friend that I'll get to use for DC Mardi Gras. My dress will be green with my purple purse with gold shoes-- perfect Mardi Gras colors!
My husband got a WWBD? What would Breesus do? shirt and I got a Fleur-de-Lis Saints shirt.
