Absolutely... REAL Gifts!

[pain2010]

shoes

20' gold neckless
watch ( kenneth cole)
waffle and sandwinch maker
oh about $2,000 for new comp in the next few months (my gift to myself)
But the best thing is: that me and my wife are still together.

[Kevster]

Mrs. Kevster and I bought a new dining room table. I searched high and low for the right table for our home because we don't have a lot of space and it has to somewhat match our antique 1930's era china cabinet. It only took me about 6 months of looking around to find it 5 days before Christmas. That was our gift to eachother this year. We're happy because now we can entertain people with a real table instead of the Ikea POS table and crappy, uncomfortable chairs we've had for the last several years.

Other than that, I was given:

A new Netgear 108Gb wireless router and wireless PC Card adapter
A Binary-Coded-Decimal Desk Clock (for the real EE geek! :P )
A 9V very bright LED flashlight
2 pairs of cargo shorts

I gave Mrs. Kevster a Creative MuVo TX FM very similiar to what Nickel got, but I splurged a little more and got the 512MB version so Mrs. Kevster can cram a few more songs on it for the gym.
Mrs. Kevtser also received:

A Lennox china vegetable dish that finishes our china collection
Some Do-Not-Disturb foot-warmer boots from Discovery.com's store:

A beautiful new 10"-wide Waterford Crystal centerpiece from my parents for our new table that looks like this:

[Gothic Girl]

I got some bunny slippers that say "It's cute how you think I'm listening" from my mom, a crystal rose from my son, and the Pirates of the Carribean movie from my husband.

[donnar]

[Kim]

Nice! I could use one of those. Have you made some cookies yet? I have a great recipe for some homemade oreo/moonpies.

[baggio248]

I got Star Wars DVD, and a Game Cube (from the gf) and my parents got me a $50 gift card. I'll get other presents when I get home on Thursday.

[donnar]

Nice! I could use one of those. Have you made some cookies yet? I have a great recipe for some homemade oreo/moonpies.

No the funny thing is we moved across country 2 times this year and the frist time we just got rid of everything, and stay with family dh was on deployment, well anyway we move here to Washington and take evrything we can fit into our car and so I have a great stand mixer but no baking pans

[TERRIBLETOM]

Actually, my dad sold a truckload of corn in my name and I got the check from the grain broker. I guess that way my dad doesn't have to pay taxes on it or something...
