  • 1. Are you happy with everything you got? yes

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get?nope.  but I only asked for 2 things and got them both

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything? nope

    4. What is your favorite gift? my watch.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • 1. Are you happy with everything you got?  Surely.

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get?  Not necessarily, I didn't ask for specific things.

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything?  DH got me a suuuuuper comfy pj set that has a nursing top.  It's a little too small, especially since my girls aren't going to get any smaller since I have the baby, so we'll need to mail that back.

    4. What is your favorite gift?  Both sets of parents are giving us $ to buy a dining set which is going to be pretty awesome, but DH got me the CHI hair dryer which is pretty awesome.  The pjs are also really nice, too.

    How are you, whit?  Do you get some vacation now?

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get? I would have liked more stephen king books, but whatever I can buy them myself later. I got some which should tide me over for a while

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything? Im going to exchange two camisols my aunt got me, I dont like shirts made of the slinky fabric they are - they ride up.

    4. What is your favorite gift? My heart rate monitor, ooooor the perfume set which I have been asking for FOUR years in a row now! My other favourite gift was money and gift cards because I did a hell of alot of shopping today.

  • Haha it seems many of us are in love with PJs! :P

  • Good evening!

    1. Are you happy with everything you got? I think so, yeah!

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get? Not this year - J did VERY well. Even helped his sister & mom get stuff for me.

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything? Nope! Thankfully. I woudln't go near a mall right now with a 2 ft pole.

    4. What is your favorite gift? Gosh, either the Garmin, or all the biggest loser for wii/ds. Now when we travel I'll be able to do mini-workouts in the room! I have a complex about working out in front of people. J included. Oh, and the little glass knick-nack J's middle sister got me. It says something about Sisters. Although we both have multiple sisters, we feel closest to each other. I thought that was really super sweet of her to get.
  • Awww Kel! Sweet!

  • 1. Are you happy with everything you got? - Yep, totally. My mom went overboard, as usual - even Brinkley got a stocking!

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get? - Not at all.

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything? - Maybe a couple of things for size, but I won't know for a few days - I had ham and Chinese buffet so I think I may give myself a few days to deflate before I try anything on or I might cry. We are dealing with extreme levels of puff over here.

    4. What is your favorite gift? - I don't know if I can pick a favorite, but I keep telling everyone I talk to about this - I think it is both brilliant and hilarious:

  • 1. Are you happy with everything you got? Nope.  Well, all my real presents.  But, my crazy aunt got me PJs that 1) don't fit, 2) are more style appropriate for her 16 year old daughter, 3) I don't know where they're from to return, tho I suspect Walmart or Target; and 4) are UGLY.  She used to get us $5 GCs to bookstores.  That would have been much better.

    Everything else is very cool.

    2. Anything you really wanted but didn't get?  Um, aside from a huge GC to our wedding venue - no.  (And, no, I def didn't expect that.)

    3. Are you going to have to exchange or return anything?  See #1.  I'm probably going to try.

    4. What is your favorite gift?  Hmm. . . diamond bracelet from FI.  Home theatre from my parents.  GCs to White House Black Market & Crate & Barrel.  I can't choose.  They all rock.

    However.  My mom got a new (to her) car for Christmas - a VW beetle.  And, my sister got a baby mule.  Yep, mule.  I have video around here somewhere. . .
