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?

Even with the wedding being so close and were tight with money, he spoiled me as usual. he got me clothes- some nice sweaters from Express, pants, CD, DVD, Bath and Body Works items, tix to a play in the city the night after New Years, perfume, new underwear- i was desperate, new black boots... he spoiled me.. he is a very thoughtful guy and puts me on a pedestal.. thats why I love him so much!!!

Re: Not to sound materialistic, but...
after we agreed not to get each other more than one gift and to keep it cheap. he surprised me with a white gold necklace and bracelet set with a heart in the midde (I love jewelry with hearts ) and he got me this perfume that I saw months ago and I showed it to him when he came home from Iraq back in October!!!!!!!!!! he remembered. the perfume is Lolita Lempicka. I never bought for myself because it was around $70 for a small bottle (which of course I never had on me ). My parents gave me money, I got clothes from my sister and I was really excited about this one: I got a huge and I mean the ultimate WEDDING PLANNER!!!!! the thing is huge with folders, time sheets for the big day, hole puncher, budget sheets, notepad, and even a calculator. I got it from his Brother in law who was my secret santa. (that's what we do in his house because there are 24 people in his household!!!!!!!!! ofcourse they don't all live there but all the brothers and sisters (8) get together along with in-laws, their parents, nieces and nephews ) but I was glad he thought of that gift since I really needed one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Not to sound materialistic, but...
Since DH and I spent 3 weeks in Fiji for our honeymoon a few months ago, we were a little more conservative this Christmas.
We adopted a cat from the shelter this year. She's wonderful and giving her a home is the best present I could ever ask for! We just found out she's a little bit of a special needs kitty - she only has 2 teeth so we grind up her hard food and make sure she's never short of soft food. We will also make sure to brush the teeth she has left on a regular basis.
I also got some clothes, some stocking stuffers and a stuffed monkey (which kitty has usurped as her own).
