from my boyfriend: NASA calendar, Appalachian Trail book, wool hiking socks, a coffee mug, and a bottle of Chanel perfume.

from my chosen family: two hoodies, a yellow turtleneck sweater and a fuzzy black vest to go over it, socks, a little sign to hang on the wall that says "Journey" with the definition of the word, flannel sheets, a lockable storage bin (this is such a practical but meaningful gift), and dog treats.

i am spoiled.

I got a wok(!!), really cute chopsticks (owls!), books (trashy, trashy, DEADPOOL!), a salt shaker that looks like Elsie, All Dogs Go to Heaven (I and II), and a guide to dog dancing from my dad.

I made out like a bandit.

I was most excited to give stuff this year, as I got everyone in my family a photo of their pet I took + a frame to match that, but I also got awesome, awesome gifts. :)

I got this coat, it is so nice, it's super super warm without being too heavy, plus it has giant pockets for dog stuff, no doubt:


Got a Scott Kelby book on Lightroom I'd asked for, Feist got a bunch of nice things, I got quite a few Captain America (<3) themed things, as well as tickets to see a broadway musical with my sisters, and it was just a really nice Christmas. AND A MIGHTY MUG ZOMG. Also one of my sisters got me one of those little cameras you attach to your dog's collar that takes pictures every 5, 10 or 15 minutes, lol. Perfect, combining my obsessions with dogs and photography. I'll have to post a thread of pictures Feist takes, hahaha. :D

Okay I have to say the coolest thing I "got" was the big hugs and excitement from my niece and nephews when they opened their presents from me. :) I got one of my nephews a wooden easel/drawing kit and I heard him say when he was leaving "mom, I really want to get home and try out my new drawing stuff!" Win!

I gave a lot this year, but I was a lucky girl in return! Here's a cruddy photo of my loot under my little tree.



From Marshall's family:
- a plush TARDIS keychain that makes the landing noise when squeezed
- a mat for rolling pastry
- a bunch of hand soap and bath stuff
- a gift card for books
- a great new sling bag
- maple grainy mustard
- new PJs!
- from his brother Devin, a huge bottle of trappist's ale. YUM. Can't wait to share it with both boys!
- a wide variety of silly fun stocking stuffers

From Marshall himself:
- a new reprint of my mom's old Purity-brand cookbook, which I still have, in tatters
- a 2014 calendar that you scrapbook yourself as you go
- a new, really nice gaming headset
- whiskey stones
- a 3DS XL circle pad pro (one for each of us haha)
- a LUSH gift box
- an apple corer/peeler/slicer to replace my mom's ancient one that I adore
- and the best gift: the hanafuda deck I've wanted forever, but not only that, he imported the brand new custom Pokemon hanafuda deck from Japan! Time to teach him how to play Koi-Koi. <3

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

We went (actually still are) on a vacation, rented a beach house in SC and are spending a week here with my parents. No presents, no stress, just spending time together.

My parents bought a crib for Logan (I.e. sent is a check for the cost of the crib we bought!)
His parents have is new bathroom decor--rugs, shower cirtain, towels, etc. They also bought way more clothing for the little guy then he could ever wear!
Grandma sent us a box of "Santa Barbara foods", all things locally made from back home :)
Best friends have me a slip lead for coursing and a maternity shirt that says, "if you touch mine, I'll touch yours", hehehe.

Our gift to each other is our Peru trip

My parents are visiting next week, so I'll have second christmas then.

DH and I got ourselves a robot vacuum that we are loving. He also sneakily got me a separate gift, which we usually don't do. It's a Hungry, Hungry Hippos game! :D We got some gift cards from his family and one of his good friends and his wife sent us meat and a giant tin of popcorn.

During the holiday break, I took up crocheting and finished my first project, an infinity scarf, yesterday, so I figure it counts as a christmas gift as well. ;)

My husband got me an old trashy motorcyle that doesn't work. :D He's currently cutting it in half, stripping it and rebuilding it as a custom bobber!!! SO EXCITED to see the finished product, it will look nothing like it does now!

I also got a new 35mm nikkor lens, the only lens I ever regret selling. A heated throw, a bunch of new frames for my picture wall and some other fun little stuff.

I'm one spoiled girl.

Oh I also got a new family portrait and some great pics of me and my sisters. :)

My dogs got spoiled though. tons of treats (Buddy biscuits, their fave), some raw food, and two bags of tennis balls for Mia. Best thing was I gave Mia a shoebox and hid treats all in it in paper. She spent an hour shredding that thing and all the paper inside it. I really should just give her cardboard boxes for all her gifts, lol.

I knew most of what I was getting beforehand because I helped my family/friends pick out my gifts, but I still had a pretty great haul!

From family I got

- a purple North Face jacket, which I had been asking for for a while, as a dog walking jacket.
- 7 pairs of shoes, including a few studded heels and wedges, a pair of tall gray Uggs and this pair of shoes (in black) that I'm pretty excited about. Really liking the leopard heads these days!

- a ton of leggings (some colorful!) and simple cardigans, which I asked for.
- a few really cute tops with patterns and cut outs that I really like.
- a sleeveless cape/vest thing that I had in gray and wanted in red, too (except I could only find it in blue and red on Google Images).

- 2 studded bags that I absolutely love

- a bottle of Marc Jacobs Lola, which I surprisingly actually like... especially the bottle LOL


From friends/family friends I got

- a Juicy Couture bracelet and wallet from a friend who buys the family Juicy products every year :p I gave the wallet to my mother and normally their products aren't my style, but the bracelet was really lovely and I like the color, so I kept it.

- Beauty and the Beast musical tickets.
- Lots and lots of chocolates.

I haven't seen a lot of my other friends and roommates yet, so we'll probably be exchanging some more small gifts within the next week or so.

Also, all I actually really wanted was a Zumi leash (the 2 in 1 leash) :eek: Except every time I mentioned that, my friends/family would ask "okay, now what do you really want?".

My husband got me an old trashy motorcyle that doesn't work. :D He's currently cutting it in half, stripping it and rebuilding it as a custom bobber!!! SO EXCITED to see the finished product, it will look nothing like it does now!

I also got a new 35mm nikkor lens, the only lens I ever regret selling.
That is AWESOME on all counts!!!
