From my husband I received a digital camera, which doesn’t work very well so I just use his instead, a watch, an expensive hair straightener made by Conair, that is just ok.
The best gift I got last Christmas was a baby. She actually came a few months before, but I consider her to be a wonderful Christmas present.
I loved the gift card from my brother in law because I read a lot. The robe from my mother in law was great because my husband kept complaining about my old one being a granny robe.
The watch was very nice so it isn’t something I wear all the time. Usually only if we are going out to a party in which I have to be dressed up. Read More »

I’m a 43 year old female and the gifts I got last year was as follows:
Tiffany necklace from my husband and I loved it.
Tiffany wedding band from my husband.
A pressure cooker from my mom and I loved it as it was much needed.
Jeans from my daughter and again I loved it as she picked jeans that looked great on me.
Light Blue perfume set from my co-worker, and of course I loved it as who doesn’t love the fragrance Light Blue from DG.
I also received the perfume Red from DG, and that was just as good because it smells great. Read More »

I am a 26 year old Female. Last Christmas I got a photo printer and a pillow from my boyfriend.
I love to take pictures, so I am using the printer.
I also love the pillow, because I have been sleeping so much better ever since I started using it.
The other present that I got money from my parents. I love this present a lot to do, because I was able to go on a shopping spree and purchase some nice clothes for myself.

I would love to have a house for a Christmas gift. It would be much better than the broken down old trailer I live in. Yes, there are poor people in America and I happen to be one of them.
I suppose the crew of Extreme Makeover Home Edition or Habitat for Humanity would be the likely builder of this home as our relative who do have money would never be convinced to make such a gift as they keep their money for themselves.
I would be happy with a nice three or four bedroom home with an actual basement. It should also have a living room and separate kitchen/dining area which comes standard with most homes.
However, if I could convince someone to build me a nice house it would have a brick or stone appearance with at least one tower like a Victorian home. Read More »

Last Christmas was very special for me and my family. We had the birth of my niece Rhianna a few weeks prior as well as my return home from college for the first time all year.
I choose a school that was within the state but four hours from home.
From my mother I received a brand new digital camera to take pictures of my new college town and dorm. My old camera was from when digital cameras were still fairly new and was not up with the new technology anymore.
She got it a cute color, pink, my favorite. From my brother and sister in law I got twin XL bedding for my new dorm bed. The sheets were in a polka dot pattern and flannel, perfect for the cold winter weather we experience where I live. Read More »

Last Christmas I got a Wii and some games for it.
I got Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Wii Play, and some other games that I can’t remember right now.
I also got some stuff for my apartment.
It was funny how I got my Wii.
My brother had actually bought it earlier in the year for himself, but because of his gaming preferences, he got bored with it. He then sold it to my mom, who gave it to me for Christmas. Read More »

My age is twenty-five. I am female. Last Christmas I received several gifts that I loved. The best gift I received was from my husband. We always try to out gift each-other.
You know, get the best thing we can think of. I am a musician and I play several instruments, all of which I own. I slowly throughout my life have collected a few more, learned more.
I also have a list of dreams of new instruments I’d like to learn how to play. My husband knew what was next on that list and bought me a violin last Christmas. It is absolutely beautiful and terribly hard to play!
I’m still working at it and will be for many years. Here are a few other things I received: A subscription to American Artist Watercolor Magazine, which is my favorite magazine ever! Read More »

I am a 36 year old woman who is happily married to a wonderful man and last year my husband gave me beautiful Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for Christmas.
I have wanted one for many years but they are very expensive so I could only hope to get one someday. We are on a very strict budget so I had no hope of getting one last year.
After eating a lovely pancake breakfast we sat down to open our gifts. I was thrilled with my new scissors and stocking full of odds and ends from the Dollar Store, a family tradition is going to the dollar store and filling the stocking till it bursts for under $15.
When we were first married we had a $10 Christmas where we each spent $10 at the dollar store on each other because that was all the money we had. After I cleaned up from breakfast, my hubby placed an enormous box in front of me, wrapped in 6 layers of wrapping paper, covered in dozens of bows and tied with about a mile of ribbon. Read More »

Some of my favorite memories of Christmas gifts are from when I was a child. My mother was a gift on her own, as she was born on Christmas day!
Every year we celebrate her birthday first, by having her favorite meal which is eggs Benedict with mimosas.
We would get up and open our Christmas stocking and then start making breakfast. My sister and I would prepare the meal, and then wake our mother up for breakfast, giving her the rare chance to sleep in.
During breakfast, she would open her birthday gifts. Once her birthday breakfast was finished, and the dishes were done, we would gather around the Christmas tree and each of us would take turns opening our presents. Read More »

Last year I was given, by my husband, a couple great gifts! He always has me create a list for him. It sounds silly for a 31 year old woman to make a Christmas list, but considering his memory its always a good idea.
I had the usually things on there (Starbucks gift card, books I like, theater season tickets). But when I found out that my favorite movie “Hairspray” was coming out on DVD before Christmas I crossed out everything on my list and put that I wanted the “Hairspray” DVD and soundtrack.
My hubby came through! On Christmas I opened a present and found the “Hairspray” DVD and a new hair brush! Read More »
