A few others: Earrings, a few sweaters, a velour (sp?) sweatsuit, a few games, diskman, Nine West boots, Deisel Sneakers, a lot of gift certificates, etc. I can't think anymore....
Some couple gifts: Christmas tree decorations, the heart crystal vase on our registry, toasting flutes from Tiffany's, and a Lenox butler tray.

Re: What did you get?
I got a beautiful jewelry box, cologne and some other stuff, but my favorite gift from FH was a 45 of our wedding song with the lyrics printed on a page and he said he's having it framed for us! I didn't know he could be that romantic!!

Re: What did you get?
FH got me a new bathrobe & a CD/Clock Radio. The robe I desperately needed since the one I had was about 15 years old & falling apart & the CD/Radio I wanted for work.We got only 2 couples gifts:
A set of flannel sheets and his parents got us the rest of our silver. They got us service for 4, the hostess set and the wood box to store it in for our e-party & another service for 8 today. I hadn't even registered for silver nor was I going to but they wanted to get it for us.
Merry Christmass Everyone!

Re: What did you get?
Tracythey are awesome gifts.... esp the earrings and soaps
We had a budget, $100, and both of us were v. creative - he got a coupon to a jewelry store so he upped the gift without the $$. FH gave me beautiful J hoop white gold earrings, and a totally cheap pair of ss funky earrings (which was all I really wanted), and some cd's.
I also got a Tiffany necklace, which I posted on the NWR board. I am not sure if I want to keep it.
Edited to say - his parents gave us more of our silverware

Re: What did you get?
I got a new computer, beautiful diamond earrings, ticket to see Cabaret @ studio 54 next week, a few computer games. He got me a bunch of other things. He said he wanted to 'go all out this year' since next x-mas will be a couple month before the wedding and he won't be able to do that much.Our couple gift was a coffee pot, we don't actually drink coffee, but we need it for company. And my parents are paying our hall payment next month so we can catch up on bills! I love them.
Sound like everyone had a nice holiday!

Re: What did you get?
I agree with you ladies as well as wanting stuff for you. Though I dont mind getting couple stuff. We got lovely glasses that I cant wait to have guests over just so i could give them their drink in that glass. Plus we are going to have a house built next year so all our couple gifts we are getting I put in the closet at the moment and when we have our house these will be the first items going in.

Re: What did you get?
Wacky: My FH was complaining about the same thing! His mother and sister both said they were going to purchase christmas gifts for us from our registry and he got really mad! He told his mother 'I put time, effort and thought into your gifts - my registry is not there for christmas gifts!'Thankfully, we didn't get anything off our registry, or he would have been more upset!!
...but his grandmother did give me a rice cooker that I have no idea what to do with!
