Mine got me a pile of dvd's (an affair to remember,heat, sex and the city box set), silver daisy earrings, Ben elton's new novel, pink sapphire flower ring, elemis box set

And he got up and peeled all the veggies for me to create dinner, walked the dog and brought me a cup of tea - while I had a lie in

I reluctantly took my slippers off to get into bed last night, and slipped them straight on this morning. Everyone should get a pair

It is hubby's birthday on boxing day so he got us a joint present - a child-free holiday!!!!!!!!!

He's booked us a cheap week in Tenerife in March and has arranged for my mum to come down and look after dc's.

Because we live hundreds of miles from family and don't really know anyone in the area well enough to trust them babysitting we don't get out much just the two of us so I'm totally stoked we'll get a full week.

lojomamma · 27/12/2007 01:34

Mine brought me the cd's I wanted. ... he forgot, I recieved them at lunch today. I wouldn't of minded but he got his dvd's (he wanted) yesterday morning, he only remembered when we were all talking about our fav pressies at lunch.

RosaLuxMundi · 27/12/2007 01:38

I got a voucher for a jewellery-making lesson.
Some Jane Austen DVDS.
Jo Malone perfume.
The obscure history books I asked for.
So I definitely win

JingJanglingBexieHoHoHo · 27/12/2007 13:48

Half a digital camcorder! (we went halves, lol). Oh, and a new coat, which we got 2 weeks back and I had to wait for! (and now I have a cold!).

doubleEGGnog · 27/12/2007 13:56

I got the ETERNITY RING I have been begging for for two years [fsmug].

Anchovy · 27/12/2007 13:58

V. classy square cut diamond earrings.

Beautiful new Spanish cookery book (1080 Recipes, I think it is called).

Another book that I had been reading on holiday earlier this year - it was at the house we were renting so I left it there. Top marks for noticing that.

BUT - best of all - a 4 day yoga course, starting today. 2 hours of yoga a day for 4 days from 6-8pm. So while I lie in a darkened room concentrating on my breathing he has to give the DCs tea, baths, put them to bed and then start our supper. Its the gift that keeps on giving...

My DP got me a little electronic device that helps me locate my purse/keys/phone etc as I drive myself round the bend trying to find these things of a morning. V happy now - no more endless searches [big sigh of relief emoticon]

Plus we got each other a Wii.

ALomonderfulLife · 27/12/2007 14:12

Mine didn't get me anything as we agreed not to buy each other anything (majorly skint!). We did have a lovely day though

ScamparumpapumpMum · 27/12/2007 14:17

Mine designed and had made a really cool mirror. Very happy!

I think DontCallMeSantaBaby got the best - that made me cry!

JingleyJen · 27/12/2007 14:18

mine bought me this picture for my new bathroom.

He has had the gallery seal it into a bathroom friendly frame.

I am blown away. I had NO idea.

moljam · 27/12/2007 14:19

i got kitchen cupboard doors x 2 plus a computer chair..

but he did cook.

PanicPressiePants · 27/12/2007 14:29

I got some pearl earrings/necklace/bracelet (very nice - not old fashioned)
A selection of cheapy beads and bracelets that I love.
Ralph Lauren jumper
Perfume
Another necklace I had admired when we were playing at tourists in Covent Garden!
DVD
CD
Chocolate
Christmas socks
Red tacky underwear
And Tickets to see Joseph
PJs

Was actually going to moan that I didn't get a holiday or diamonds or a car, but when it's all written down like that, I can see that actually he got me loads . I'll have to be nice to him now

Wisteria · 27/12/2007 14:30

not mine

moondog · 27/12/2007 14:33

OOh Jingley,I didn't know you could do that. My bathroom needs a picture.

JingleyJen · 27/12/2007 14:37

Hmm just clicked ont he link - NOT that picture!! it wont save the link for some reason to the actual picture it is really beautiful

try again

moondog - it is like a very posh sealed clipframe (apparently the lady in tha gallery wasn't impressed when Dh used that analogy!)

Twinklemegan · 27/12/2007 14:37

Mine. Two CDs, one from him, one from DS. The best pressies ever because we'd agreed he wouldn't waste any money on me, so it was a lovely surprise.

moondog · 27/12/2007 14:39

lol \jingley.I thought first link was a little...depressing,but thought 'AH WELL, each to their own'

Yes,can well imagine the description of it being a 'clipframe' diod not go down too well/

Twinklemegan · 27/12/2007 14:41

And on the one from DS he'd written "to the best mummy a little boy could ever have". Which to a guilt-ridden working mum means a hell of a lot.

Pixel · 27/12/2007 20:48

I had a gorgeous eco-watch, My booky Wook, Russell Brand DVD, a really chunky long cardigan that is more like a coat and lovely and soft and cosy, and a CD that wasn't actually the one I'd been hinting about but it was close.

CarGirl · 27/12/2007 20:49

My DSD got a marriage proposal from her long term boyfriend (she is 21) I think that was fab!

spanielsmom · 27/12/2007 21:01

ipod Nano
huge box of Lush shower goodies(from ds)
set of space nk makeup brushes
lots of dower & hall jewellery
3 novels
Jamie at home cookbook

I am feeling very spoilt!

TheIceQueen · 27/12/2007 21:05

I got a new mobile phone ....at LAST....a nice pink Sagem my300C ...my phone was ancient (actually one of DH's old ones......that he replaced about 5yrs ago ) so it's nice to have a modern, girly phone that even if I keep it for 10yrs the DS's will NEVER want to borrow.

naturalblonde · 27/12/2007 21:58

I got GHD straighteners.

Love him!!!
