I had a great Christmas, probably the best one I've had in years. It was mellow but so much fun.
Ipod Nano in white and some iPod accessories. Thank you Santa!
My bf gave me some really beautiful amber jewelry- earrings and a ring that match this necklace I already had. I'll take pics later.
A Black and Decker cordless drill, a slipcover for this chair I had, a Asian style jewelry box, money and gift cards.
The worst part of Xmas though was bf had an athsma attack and we had to go to an emergency clinic for treatment in the afternoon of Christmas day. He is fine now though.
Laura Mercier Master brush set (he's so good!) and a tanzanite necklace... so pretty! he also got me a Juicy hoodie, Ruehl white zip sweater and a white button down from Banana. In my stocking was bath bombs, godiva chocolates, "Chicago" and "Uptown Girls" :)
My parents got me a cherry jewelry stand which I promptly set up as soon as I got home and cleared my dresser top of all my jewelry! Finally a place to put it all! they also got me a lot of little odds and ends...
Wedding book: Our Story (we fill it out like a journal as we go along)
1 Express top and 2 Forever 21 tops
Big frog from my Dad (he gives joke gifts)
Crystal candlesticks
Jewelry box from Things Remembered

Fiance's parents give tons of stuff, but not very exciting: spray bottle, closet door organizer, socks, t-shirts, boxer briefs, more socks, electric can opener, etc.

Hee-hee, when I first heard of it I thought the exact thing of the name! It's actually a smoothie/blender appliance that's been on informercials for a while, but you can get it on amazon, jcpenney, target, etc. now. You can also chop with it and make frappes, etc.
