QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

Who has already gotten some Christmas gifts? (aside from the LIW Secret Santees)

I love getting some stuff early! Here is what Ive got:

Slate cheese board - perfect for my cheese/cracker/fruit course on Christmas Dinner

A framed photo of a tree in fall. Got this in another Secret Santa and it so nice.

(must put photo here when I take it)
A sprial tree for the front of my house. I cant wait to put some Christmas lights on it!

Now your turn!

All those things are very nice, Stef. Enjoy!

I haven't gotten any 'early' gifts, other than the stuff Karen sent me.

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

WOW Stef, what great gifts I want the cheese board. Can I get it, hubby and I are always in bed eating cheese, apples and crackers

PS I got a coat, which I am wearing today, I got him a Tungsten C from Palm. I told him none of us are guaranteed to see the day, so give me what you have for me now. He said there is more coming, I can't wait to see.

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

We always end up giving/getting at few of our gifts b/f christmas b/c we are terrible at waiting when those nicely wrapped packages are just staring us in the face :D

The tree was impossible to hide and Im glad i got it early b/c I want to put lights on it. THe cheese board we will use for our entertaining (its from Restoration Hardware if anyone is interested..i think its on sale now too). And the photo was from a friend.

I LURRVVE presents ;D

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

I ended up getting a Champange diamond ring....by accident. My DH bought it on ebay and thought he coved all the bases erasing all emails and stuff that he won and he forgot about the feedback section...He knew I saw it so when it came he just gave it to me. I did tell him though I wouldn't wear it until xmas!

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

Oh Stef where did you get those Sconces? I saw something like them in Speigal and I was going to order them. They look great next to your early xmas pic!

Love the cheese board too! Hosting xmas this year and I have no cheese board.

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

My FIL sent us a case of wine, again, for Christmas.

They ship it with a gift card but not wrapped, so 2 years in a row we opened his present early by mistake.. Oh well, it is a gift we love

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

I got a light blue cashmere cardigan and a set of Hummel christmas ornaments from my DH's grandmother. She gets me a cashmere sweater every year and I was afraid she wouldn't this year because I am pregnant and clearly don't fit in regular sweaters. But she chose the cardigan because she figured I could wear it open - how right she was, I have already worn it twice!!

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

Love that cheeseboard!

Stef and I have the same sconces and I got mine from my registry at Bed, Bed, and Beyond.

I haven't bought myself anything other than Christmas decor. I always feel guilty to do that this time of year!

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

Cookie - I bought the candles scones a few years ago either at BBB or Linens and things.

Champagne diamond right??? Whoa - nice!!

And a cardigan sweater every year from family..nice too!

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

We are so bad - we can't keep secrets and love to share our findings. Yesterday DH spent all morning wrapping my presents and let me sleep in then lay around while he did this.

It's in vain since I can guess my gifts (even in a wrapped box - makes him crazy ) so he let me open the watch

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

John hates that I guess or know all his gifts too...

Re: QOTD: Early Christmas Gifts?

Christine Love that watch....I am a watch person I own so many!! Only really where one though don't understand that!

Thanks Stef, I am going to check out BBB or Linen and things. I rather get it right away then order it from Speigal.
