FI and I got each other a Sony trv-19 MiniDV cam. I got him Upright Citizens Brigade on DVD and he got me Simpsons Season 3.

His parents got us a dining room table for our condo, a wicker laundry basket filled with all sorts of baking pans and utensils (FI will be bach-ing it for awhile there - I'm not miving in until after the wedding.) His brother and SIL got us a similar basket, but with cleaning supplies for the condo. And they got us a set of rice bowls and chopsticks.

My mom gave us money for a coffee table. Doesn't sound like much in comparison to his family, but she's paying for the entire wedding.

My mom also got me a bunch of other stuff: money for clothes, a pink chiffon nightie for the honeymoon , a set of Mignon Faget Fleur de Lis glasses, so now I have a set of 8, a scarf/hat set, and some other random crap that I'm forgetting.

Yay, I received a ton of fun stuff for Christmas!

A gorgeous sapphire and diamond ring that I've had my eye on forever (from the hubby)

A beautiful aquamarine and diamond ring (from my folks)

$$$$ (always appreciated!)

A DVD of "The Princess Bride" (one of my fave movies)

A cashmere sweater

Flannel jammies

A copy of "Sailing the Wine Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter" (by the same author of "How the Irish Saved Civilization)

Assorted bath products and the yummiest smelling aromatherapy candles ever

A really neat chip and dip set inlaid with mother-of pearl

An electric skillet (always handy!)

A new ceramic roaster (you can never have enough of these)

And possibly the coolest thing of all--my parents paid to have body work done on my car door from a dent that my husband put in it a few years ago that we never got around to fixing. My car looks brand new now! Yippee for Christmas!

From Mr. Adrienne: sapphire necklace (blue, pink and green)
From M&D - some cute kitchen supplies and GCs to OfficeMax.
From my SIL - Chocolate about a dozen different ways.
From my boss - GC to Best Buy (finally a flat screen at home!)

I gave my better half a new cel phone. My parents got GCs to their favorite stores (Barnes & Noble and Dillards) We gave the house a new sectional sofa from Pottery Barn. The inlaws got some furniture from all 5 of their kids.
