It's now my excuse for going over board this Christmas, our plan was to just do stocking gifts and keep it low key, I failed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-459324 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:24:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 459324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow so many awesome gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-459094 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:54:42 +0000 dc yoga bee 459094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Um AWESOME!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-459071 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:48:36 +0000 StbHisMrs 459071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having a fishing themed Christmas since we bought a fishing boat at the end of the summer. I bought dh a tackle box and filled it with tackle, dsd's (4&amp;8) are each getting fishing poles, ds's (10) stocking is going to be stuffed with lures and other tackle. DS already has a tackle box and a fishing pole. We also got DS a beginners bow so he can practice with his friends. DD (1) is getting the cutest pink polka dot recliner. Those are what I'm most excited to give, they're getting lots of other things too. This was suppose to be a less expensive Christmas and it didn't end up that way. </p> <p>For each set of parents MIL &amp; her husband, FIL &amp; his wife, and my parents I put together photo books from Mypublisher and I think they turned out great. I'm excited to see their reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-459039 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:34:31 +0000 Smurfette 459039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: I love tervis tumblers!</p> <p>We got my sister a Kate Spade wallet. She is going to be shocked. I got it on sale at Nordstorm but still more then we normally spend on her. But I decided we need to start spending the same on her that we do for my brother, sister-in-law, and nephews, since she has all of us to buy for and it is just her.<br /> Also DH is going to be shocked that I got him this jacket that he wanted since it was way more then we were supposed to spend this year. But he deserves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-459023 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:30:08 +0000 Shutterbug 459023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm most excited to give my niece all of her presents! Even though she's only 11.5 months old, haha. But this is the first year I've had a baby in the family to buy for, and it's so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458986 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:10:58 +0000 luckypenny 458986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited to give everyone their gifts! I try really hard to make sure everyone gets something they'll love. Christmas is HUGE in my family (it literally takes all day) so it's always the best day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458979 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:05:33 +0000 Bao 458979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited to give everything to LO, just because I want to play with everything ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458949 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:49:54 +0000 HLK208 458949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super excited for DS to see his play kitchen!

I special-ordered beer from Maui Brewing Company for my husband... it was his favorite during our honeymoon (we visited the actual brewery for a tour and lunch), and it's not distributed here. I think he'll be completely surprised! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458915 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:37:30 +0000 MrsTiz 458915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Wow!

I got my SIL in our secret santa and got her a nice hair straightener which she asked for, and some matrix sleek look shampoo and conditioner that I hope she'll like!

My step-daughters are OBSESSED with One Direction, so I painted these 1D Toms for them...I think they're going to freak out. </p> [attach=1395/12/mfcibl.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458819 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:58:13 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 458819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I am obsessed with tervis tumblers. Is it a southern/football fan thing? Anyway, they're like status symbols down here. Plus they are, of course, the best glasses you'll ever use. Anyway, if you go to tervis.com you can get them personalized with pictures. We used some cheesy pics of the kiddo and put under them "Have yourselves a Carey Little Christmas" (because my kid's name is Carey and he is a junior). They came back and are so tacky-cute I can't stand it. We got em for everyone on our list. YES I AM THAT MOM! Next year: beer koozies, lol, the only other thing my family hoards as much as they do tervises.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458805 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:52:06 +0000 shopaholic 458805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Wow! Nice gifts!</p> <p>IDK if I'm too excited about anything this year. I feel like I focused on what people "needed" this year and we didn't go all out and splurge this year with the baby coming. I did get my sister a nice quilted Michael Kors wallet + a red NARS lipstick (with some other small things) that I think she will love. And a camel colored Anthro coat for the BFF that I love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458720 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:21:41 +0000 MrsTiz 458720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so SO SO excited about all the gifts I have to give this year! </p> <p>I'm most excited to give:<br /> My parents a trip to the Biltmore<br /> My sister a firepit she wanted<br /> My FIL his Panthers tickets (he cried- we had to give them early)<br /> My MIL crown molding in her living room (she's wanted it for years)<br /> DH a fancy saw he asked for</p> <p>I also know what DH is getting from my family, and what my parents got each other. I am so excited for everything I know everyone is getting, everyone is getting stuff they really want this year :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458699 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:15:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 458699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm most excited about Wagon Jr.'s presents. I can't stop buying stocking stuffers. I think I might stuff LMW's stocking with some of the stuff because I'll run out of room. My parents never stuffed my stocking (they were just for decoration) so I think I am going a little overboard. </p> <p>I am most excited for his present from Santa. He's been asking for a trumpet for months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458692 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:11:31 +0000 birdofafeather 458692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm super excited for DH to open the wetsuit i got him. he's going to be shocked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-gifts-youre-especially-excited-to-give#post-458601 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:47:42 +0000 Bookish 458601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: My MIL bought my BIL some superman socks that have capes!
