That link sent me to a long list of things which did not have anything to do with ice

Crap, Sorries! Try this www.nuggetice.com/

Oh how cool. I love it.

I loved when I worked at the hospital because that was the kind of ice they had. It is funny because I have been wondering if they made an ice machine that made that type of ice at home.

I showed my husband and said I wanted it for my birthday

MH got me a Fitbit...I've wanted one forever and I'm surprised he remembered and even got me the one I wanted! One SIL got me a beautiful work bag/purse that I love and the other gave me a gift card to an accessory store that is right up my alley. It was all so sweet and a wonderful day. My grinch H even did his best to be in good spirits and stay cheery for me even though he has a hard time with the holidays. I had a great day as a result and that's the best gift I could ask for!

kayladawn91 I love that pandora charm, mine is a bit different.

H got me chocolate, an ornament for this year, a 2015 Godiva bear, a massage gift card, a pandora charm with angel wings with some pink enamel. He also got me morganite earrings!!! I really wanted some they are so beautiful and perfect. I was really really spoiled.

I got the new knife block by Chicago Cutlery I wanted. Our knife block is fine, but it's not that sharp anymore and you can't sharpen any of the knives because they're all serrated. My new one has a built-in sharpener and has a bunch of cool knives that my other one didn't. I got a bunch of cool stuff, but that was the biggest thing.

Since I had seen my dressform when it was dropped at the house DH decided to suprise me with a major gift he went and bought me another band to sit on the other side of my ring. I'm very excited about it.



The dressform

My husband got me a pair of the Ray Ban mirrored aviators, a Tory Burch tote and a quilted Barbour coat in case it ever drops below 70 here. And my parents got me a gorgeous vintage Chanel clutch, I was totally surprised and am completely obsessed with it. My MIL who is in town visiting gave my H and me a joint gift of golf balls. WTF, that's clearly a gift for him so she might as well have just left my name off the tag. I'm so ready for her to leave tomorrow

Your MIL sounds like a real peach.

H broke our usual christmas rules and surprised me with a laptop. I haven't had my own laptop since college and my iPad died a few months ago. Meaning I've been working my regular job and running my side business from my iPhone. This will make my life soo much easier. I teased him for breaking the rules but I was out of this world surprised and it was just so thoughtful of him.

For H, well his Christmas gift was technically the puppy we got in November. But I got him a few small things to open today...a new page a day calendar for his desk (Dog Shaming), an expansion pack for his favorite board game (Pandemic) and a new winter coat which he desperately needed but refused to buy for himself.

I'm excited! I've wanted to read them for years. I've never seen the movies either so that will be next. In a slow reader though because I can't find time to read every day and I get tired quickly when I read.

teraiin I got this for Christmas!



It is sure a good thing I got DH a PS4 for Christmas hahaha!

My MIL got me this purse. I almost cried. She is so sweet.

[nuggetrn]

juliayadda this seems suspicious... Did he know he was getting a ps4 or was this his sneaky way of telling you that you guys were going to buy a ps4? Haha!

Was he surprised to get it? And how proud was DS of his present?

[britta]

We did Christmas this morning so I can finally post!!

H got me a really soft scarf, a perfume gift set, and the same planner I bought for my sister that I gushed over-apparently he did take note! He also got me some really cute, thoughtful stocking stuffers: a keepsake handprint ornament (DS's hand), a "Lucas" charm (DS's name), and a set of pretty bangles. Apparently, I have a good birthday gift coming because he meant to order a "big" gift on Amazon but the order never fully went through. We'll see.

[thechickencoop]

Just popping in to AW this gal

She may be cute but she's been a fucking PITA for the last 36 hours. I forgot there was a reason I didn't want a puppy....

[onesweetworld]

[LadyNymeria]

Ya had I fallen through on getting him a PS4 we would havr been lining up for one today.

DS got uber hugs from DH for his idea of a PS4

We're too tight with money this year to do Christmas with each other, we did do ornaments though and he got me Sheldon from BBT!

For my family secret Santa I got a waffle iron, silicon baking mats, and a kitchen scale. Mom also got me some little stuff, a dog shaming calendar, an outfit, an ornament, an Alex & Ani bracelet, and this cool wax warmer scented thing.

For my SO's family's secret Santa (We went in as a couple) we got a gift card to the grocery store. Yay food!

We're doing presents with my SO's family tomorrow morning.

My little sister got me one of those scented wax warmer things! It's a night light/warmer, so like a mini version? I can't wait to use it. I'm thinking of plugging it in in the bathroom during a bath?

Mine is from scentsy...


I have mine plugged in in the kitchen currently since those outlets are out of animals' reach. It smells so good! Bathroom during a bath would be amazing though!

I'm thinking since it just melts wax I may attempt to go through old candles and pop that wax out to use in it. Should work the same, in theory.

I clean out and save the jars too. I just discovered the big 3 wick Bath and Body Works jars fit perfectly in my desk drawer. I am so glad I saved a few, they are perfect for corralling the little stuff in there.

onesweetworld, let me know what's up with the ninja coffee bar. I almost asked for it, but I love my tassimo (which makes espresso, lattes , cappuccino. ) I want to know what you think if the ninja.

So far, so good. I like it. I need to learn all of the functions.

If you put your old candles in the freezer the wax shrinks and pops right out of the old jar for easy removal.
