And then tell your hubs not to buy you anything that you just took care of it! :)<br /><br />The puppet will at least be fun for your future kids, but yikes! hahaha. It really is hilarious.<br /><br />My dad (as a joke) gives me a box of chocolate covered cherries every year. And I hate chocolate covered cherries. And he knows this. But it isn't his only gift to me, so it's okay.<br /><br />So you know how I have a nutcracker collection? My dad gave me a nutcracker every year for Christmas growing up. Now my parents have started a nutcracker collection for Hudson. (I don't like theme decorating either, but the nutcrackers are really fun.) <br />What does Todd's mom give me for a Christmas? A nutcracker. WHAT?! First of all, I'm not 6 years old. Second, that's why MY DAD always gave me and he's in the room.

I think I found you by way of Erin, from Blue-Eyed Bride Anyhow, I feel this way every year, too. My mom and husband both say, "You're so hard to buy for," which is the truth. Luckily my mom sticks to the list I give her or takes me shopping. Two of my best friends are wonderful gift givers who I enjoy buying for and getting gifts from. However, we don't always exchange.<br /><br />My husband either knocks it out of the park or really screws up. See this year – I had even given him a small list and a few ideas while out shopping (he requested the list). His main gift to me: A NEW CELLPHONE. He hadn't bought it yet, so he wrapped up a baby cellphone in a giant box (wasting my Martha Stewart wrapping paper). I was devastated for multiple reasons, but mostly for the insinuation that I couldn't buy my own damn cellphone. I have a well-paying job that requires I have a cellphone and get a stipend to cover part of the monthly cost. He said, "Well I thought you could buy like a top of the line one." I had planned on it. I always buy myself the top of the line cellphone that is within reason (I'm on Verizon, so no iPhone for me). Needless to say, I was furious about the gift. Luckily the other smaller gifts were wonderful or he'd have been in deep doo doo.Allison Haselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987373674983746008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-27472252694606660392010-01-07T12:52:22.659-05:002010-01-07T12:52:22.659-05:00I have an aunt who buys everyones gifts at goodwil...I have an aunt who buys everyones gifts at goodwill which would not be a problem except that she and her husband are millionaires.

This was maybe 2-3 years ago, my much younger half sister was taking art classes, so guess what EVERYONE got for Christmas? Her "art". My husband and I received a mousepad with her "art", two framed "originals" and a mug. Now, I understand giving out your children's "art" to grandparents and such because normally, they can't get enough of their little ones, but, giving it to her much older (15 years older) half sister and half sister's husband? Instead of actual gifts? When we were dirt poor and actually needed the things we asked for? Not cool. This was also the year that my grandma mislabeled the gifts, thus my half sister getting $200 and me and the husband getting a combined $20. And no one bothered to think "hmm, maybe the $200 is for A & J--not the 7 year old!". Nope, the little 7 year old got $200 f-ing dollars. <br /><br />Wow, I'm a total bitch aren't I?<br /><br />(I should also mention that this year the half sister got at least two grand dropped on her Christmas gifts, and I, the one supporting THREE adults on ONE salary? I got running pants. Which I needed, but, seriously. SERIOUSLY.)<br /><br />OK, bitching over. <br /><br />Thanks for listening.The Shabby Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572623388995262210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126909921482632303.post-43340389585212890042010-01-07T09:48:12.163-05:002010-01-07T09:48:12.163-05:00What a funny post!

One of those no-head dolls that stands and has metal sticks coming out everywhere for hanging jewelry? They're great for teens, but I prefer my jewelry boxes. So, I sold it to a consignment shop sometime in 2009, only to then open the exact same gift (albeit a different doll) this Christmas! I guess she forgot she gave it to me.
