Re: gifts?

Fh and i did under $90 gifts this year and even that i don' t think he spent because I told him I rather him give me more money for the wedding IoI since he can afford to put more money away then me.

I got a ton of cool stuff from my parents though. clothing, b&n gift cert, a wedding book, slippers, boots, a REALLY NICE diamond necklace that shocked the living hell at of me for getting, a bookmark that says my lovely daughter on it.

Grandparents gave me some money which tom and i are putting into the wedding account. not a lot but it was so nice of htem to do that.

fh got me a calendar, a dvd, two cd's, a bobble head jack sparrow & islanders mug. I just gave him clothing.

i think its fun to share!

from my relatives i got a bunch of xmas fine china and crystal and of course cash (which im putting into my wedding account!)...it was like half xmas/half engagement presents....which was cute.

i think my favorites...the holiday barbie (ive gotten one every yr for like a million yrs...so its just a little tradition thing). a new black coach bag (cuz i needed a new black bag). and fh's mom got me a very nice gc to the americana and fh got me gc's as well so that i can spend some money on myself and stop saving for the wedding! (because that's seriously all i do with my money now! everything is wedding related)

i got fh clothes and new snowboarding related stuff for our trip to vail in three weeks!

both of our parents also paid the deposit for the rh so that was part of a gift to us.



Oh thats right earlier in the week my parents gave us money towards our big installment this month, gotta remind Fh that was also part of their gift.

I got nothing! lol! Honestly I didnt want anything and as I may have explained this is a really hard season w/ money! So I told him since my birthday is in 3 weeks and his birthday is right before valentines then we have valentines its fine to not buy me anything!!

I got the best gift of all I'm spending the night with him! YAYAYAYAYAYAY

Hope your christmas went good!

I didnt get to read what you all got but I hope it was good!



That's ok! I told FH that after new years i don't want presents! I'd rather just go out to dinner to celebrate and save the money for the wedding and a home!

Re: gifts?

I got a beautiful diamond necklace from FH. He apparently stressed out about it so much, he brought his mother with him to Zales for a second opinion, and his grandfather on another shopping trip for a THIRD opinion. He's such a dork! It's diamonds - why wouldn't I love it? (and the sparkle goes so well with my left hand, heehee).

He also got me 2 seasons of the Gilmore Girls on DVD - awesome. Diamonds and Gilmore Girls - he knows me so well.

I know! I love the amount of thought / care / worry he put into the necklace as much as I love the necklace itself. He went from store to store and had his mom try on a bunch of different necklaces... really, putting that much effort into it is a present on its own.
