What did FH or DH get everyone for the holidays? I don't ask this to sound materialistic, but out of genuine curiosity. I like hear how romantic guys can be when it comes to gift giving. Sometimes even the smallest $10 gift can be the most meaningful depending on what it is.
Personally, I had a very Country Hanukah! (For those that my not know, I LOVE country music.) FH bought me the Dixie Chicks live in concert double CD, then he totally surprised me and bought me tickets to see Alan Jackson and Martina McBride in concert in February at Nassau Colisseum!!! I was SOOOOOOOO excited. I don't think I was ever more excited about a gift, except my e-ring of course. I literally was jumping up and down when he told me. It was the sweetest thing he could have done. They are 2 of my favorite performers and I wanted to see them so badly. This was the best!!
Ok, I'm done spewing! LOL. What about the rest of you?

I got a nice mongoose bicycle from FH, along with some DVD's, CD's that I wanted, and then clothes that I got to pick out. The bike was my fav., because I really wanted it.

Re: Not to sound materialistic, but...
Fi got me a platinum diamond eternity band with a quarter of a carat stones all the way around (4.4 carats in total!). Unfortunately, it is being made so it is not quite ready yet. FI is a big procrastinator.
I got him two shirts from PINK, a tie from PINK, and PINK cufflinks. I also got him some 'meat-related' items because he recently gave up being a vegetarian (he was one for 11 years). So I got him a Le Cruest grill pan, one of those cast iron things that you put on top of meat or paninis to weigh it down, a Grilling Cook Book, and three different types of grilling sauces. I got it all from Williams Sonoma.

Re: Not to sound materialistic, but...
From my dear FH I received a sony clie (palm pilot) that I wanted really bad, perfume, victoria secret pjs and undies, plus a gift certificate so I could get whatever else I wanted, and I'm getting a pair of sneakers (have to pick those out myself). I gave him clothes and undies (stuff he wanted). And I'm still looking for some cds that he asked for that are too old (he only told me Tuesday that he wanted them). His birthday is Jan. 5th, so I can surprise him more than. My parents gave me $$$$. They say I'm way too picky and know that I would appreciate $$$ more, but they still got me boots.

Re: Not to sound materialistic, but...
The man of my dreams gave me a bunch of great things, but my favorite mushy gifts were a wedding book to fill out with all the info on how we met, our first kiss, date, etc., and a book on quotes, sayings and poems for us to write our own wedding vows
