Now that most of the holidays are over, what presents did you recieve? Any really cool ones? I got some pretty nice gifts this year. They included a 20 gb IRiver h10, a very soft real leather coat, some clothes and jewelry, three CDs, a huge stuffed Eeyore (he's one of my fave Disney characters), and some money and gift cards. Overall I had a great Christmas. I even got to spend some time with family I haven't seen in a while. So, how about you?
I got a plate of food from my neighbors. Delicious tamales, potato salad, molé, and a cold beer. Some doritos too. lol I got to listen to a lot of music too, rancheras, baladas, and the laughter of kids. They partied all night, until 3 or 4 in the morning. I was asleep by 5 am though. lol
The coolest thing I got was a good kitchen nife set. It's Chicago Cutlery, which is a great brand. Me with knives...Look out, world. Grin. But seriously, I do like to cook, and these will be helpful. I also got a really pretty, soft sweater. And, though it wasn't intended as a Christmas present, my friend paid for me to get an hour massage. Ahhh, happy muscles. And my Christmas present to myself is that I get to go home and see my Missy Cat tomorrow. Yay!
Hi, all. My absolute favorite Christmas present from this year is a USB beverage chiller. that's right, it's a device that plugs into a USB port on your computer and acts as a chilling plate. They also make USB-powered hot plates too, in case you have coffee or hot chocolate. I took my chiller to work, and have it plugged into the back of my computer there. It's awesome. I also got a really nice black pair of boots, new jeans, and of course, money. Gotta love the cold hard cash. It is useful, and I can think of a lot of good stuff I can buy with it.
More than getting presents though, I have to be honest. The coolest thing I got this year was giving presents to friends and family, and watching them open them, and smile, etc. I know that sounds cliche, but it's the truth. That's what I like best.
I got a parfume. Dolce Gabana, "light blue". My absolute favourite. Two audio books, one in English and one in German, money, shower gel, shampoo and body lotion, and an album from Robbie Williams, whom I absolutely hate. Lol
I got a perfume called Shh by Jade Goody, also I got cds of Ildivo, g 4 and angelis and a dvd of Donny Osmond singing Joseph and the technicolored dream coat and a box of Belgian chocolate called Guylian. There is also some Belgian truffles. I also got a chocolate fondue for making hot chocolate then melting it.
I got some cosmetics like lotion chapstick deodorant and what not and I got a 5 dollar bill. That's about all I can think of right now.
I also got tropical sope peach and mango in it, impulse shower jell, a digital radio and a new sterrio player.
Oh and my brother said he bought me 3 CD's but I haven't gotten them yet.
Hi all,
I got a new boom box, because the cassette recorder on my old one stopped working. 3 bottles of perfume, one of which is elizabeth taylors white diamonds, don't know the name of the other 2, 3 cd's of the rock and roll 50's, 3 old country cds, a 7 dvd collection of bible stories, which are full length movies, over 15 hours altogether, 3 very small but neat cd holders. there is a flap on one end and you open it, and there is some velvet like stuff where you put the cds, then you turn it over and there's another side that holds cd's. each side holds 11 cd's, making a total of 22 cd's. also got 4 books, 3 on cds and one on tape. actually I got 5 audio books counting the one from my cousin in iowa. and a pack of blank cassettes to record stuff on from the radio. it was a great christmas. I had to learn how to work my new boom box, so mom spent a good while working on that. it's a bit confusing, because the radio and th ecd part of it work together. fortunately the cassette player is still separate from the radio and cd part of it, and the buttons that work the cassette player are positioned in the same places as on my old one. wonderwoman
My absolute favorite gift was a diecast model of the enterprise D! O god! Other than that, I god a crap load of money.
Money in the form of American Express gift cards (which kind of annoys me since I will be using many credit cards to make a single purchase), lots of hip hop vinyl (Tribe called quest, rjd2 etc) and two turntables and a mixer which has yet to arrive at the store.
2 fatty tats on my wrists, stewie and brian talking dashbords thingys, ab lounge sport to work on making my abs rock hard, hair clippies, and a strawberry scented candle.
I got a box set of DVDs of season 1 of the Munsters TV show, lots of comfy clothes, assorted gift cards and checks from the extended family, and lots of candy and snacks and things including some dark chocolate-covered expresso beans.
I should also mention the two items that were bought for the whole family. I bought us the Hamilton Beach talking microwave oven, and my fiancee bought, with my help, a combination VCR and DVD player for the living room TV so we don't have to tie up the computer to watch movies out here. Everyone else got what they wanted as well, and we have gift cards and gift certificates for various stores and restaurants, too.
I recieved, cross by james patterson on cd, a makeup kit, a perfume from avon, 2 gift cards, a 2 gig flash drive, a wirreless keyboard set, some candy, lotions and all that bath stuff, and 4 dvds. They included: save the last dance, the notebook, a walk to remember, and in to the blue.
I got Catherine Tait series 1 and 2, The Royle family complete series and Little Britain Live DVDs, a chocolate orange, an absolutely enormous Cadbury Dairy milk in a box, an equally huge bag of marshmallow Christmas trees (at least, that's what I think they're supposed to be) a decent pair of headphones I'm wearing now, a pretty purse for my evening bag, Tommygirl perfume, three tins of capuccino in a clear box, a couple of stress ball things, another pot of Shea body butter, a couple of bottles of cocoa butter bodywash, and a couple of bubble baths, a twin ball massager, a lavender sleep pillow, a pocket DAB radio, Aled Jones's autobiography, four incredibly thick braille volumes. I've finished volume 1 already and that's my favourite Christmas present with the pocket DAB radio a very, very close second favourite, some heart earrings which keep blimming falling out soon after I put them in, a magnetic sculpture set, another magnet set with loads of rods, iron balls, and other bits and pieces so you can make a lot more things with it and a magnetic globe puzzle which is still in its, 72 rather small pieces lollol.
I got grizzly gulch, chillingham, and time adventures. Also got flannel pajamas and a smoothy maker! And, money! <smile>
I got several things money, jewlery, my animals back, the news I am getting my guide dog in less then 2 months, and time with family.
I got some shampoo and toothpaste, candy and a little money, which in turn paid for some more candy, junk food, socks, hmmm beer and more food and a large meal at an all you can eat buffet.
Money money money! Lots of money. That's pretty much all I asked for, that and books, which I'm getting loads of once this business with my grandmother being in the hospital settles down. Other than that, purses, Bath and Body sets (several of them), jewelry, candy, and, um, bondage tape. Ahaha! That was from my boyfriend, but he also got me truffles, Gummi Bears, and something else he has yet to give me.
to the person going to get there guidedog where are you going? just curious because I am also getting mine in 2 months.
I got a small wooden instrument set containing a xylophone and it's stick thing, a tamberine, and two maracas, and I got a play food set of ice creams, popsicles, and a banana split. *smile* I also got a check from my grandma, which I'm going to try to either save, or give to my mom.
What's a dab radio?
I got a ink printer which did not come with the USB cable so we had to take it back, clothes, a police scanner, blank cds, money, and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

I got lots of clothes, CDs and some coffee and candy!
I also got to play with my itty bitty baby nephew! And, I found out my daddy ordered me Jaws!! 8!!! I really hope that gets here soon so I can play with the new voices!!!!
i believe dab stands for digital audio broadcast. It's something the UK uses.
Yes very correct that's what DAB stands for. The sound quality suppose to be cd quality. I have got one but they still buitling new transmitors. In London and other bigg cities it sounds good but there is not coverage where i am at the moment.
Money, coffee, chocolate-covered coffee beans, and...Money.
I got money, some clothes showerjell, and aftershave. But most importantly i saw my brother and my sister when i went back home and my girlfriend after being in France for 3 months.
I got money (which, somehow, got spent--and I really don't know how), cd's, (rascal flats, some little things on famous composers, and some stuff from Prairy Home companion), clothes, a fold-out keyboard for my MPower, and a piccolo. We got food, too, from our neighbors-tomalis (I haven't got a clue how to spell that), because they're mexican.
Money, chocolate, cloathes.
Yeah. DAB radio is deffinitely CD quality. You don't get any of the snaps, crackles, hisses and pops procuced by Analogue radio. We can receive up to about 60 different stations where I live in Surrey, but in places like Cornwall and the South West region, you can only receive about 20 stations at a pinch.
I got two sweaters, several CD's, a pair of shoes, and the fourth season of SpongeBob Square Pants on DVD.
