What was inside your boxes?!

[pink_lily002]

I got two random tops from my mom (they're cute and good for job interviews or work), a black Nine West bag (again, classy enough for interviews), hot gigantic sunglasses, a New England Patriots ornament, random knick-knacks from the grandparents, a bunch of toys for the cats, two knitted afghan squares (one for each cat) to go on either end of the couch that's covered in cat hair, a JCPenney gift card, and $400 from my biological dad. My grandma and aunt's gifts didn't make it in time and should arrive this weekend. They sent the boxes to my parents' house too, so I'll probably get those in 2009 since my parents live a good distance from my place!

But the BEST boxes under the tree this morning were the WII AND WII FIT!!!!!!!!!!! The Wii Fit is seriously the most addicting thing ever, and I'm sure I'm going to be a little bit sore at work tomorrow since I played that thing for over two hours today!

My step-dad actually had the Wii all hooked up (you know, to make sure it was working properly....for the past two weeks....) and out in the open, so it's a wonder I didn't see it last night. I did see the console while my mom was on the phone with my aunt, but the actual box was still wrapped under the tree!

My boyfriends mom got me some stuff from sephora among other things, which is awesome because we don't have a sephora where we live.
She got me a Stila Lipgloss Set, a smashbox starter kit type thing, with photofinish primer, a clear gloss, an eyeliner / eyebrow compact, and under eye brightener. Also, a cargo eyeliner set!

Shes a sweet mom

Other then that, I got lush stuff, pureology hair care stuff, my bf got me a spa giftcard for massages, etc. My dad got me an ipod touch 2nd generation!

Lots of other small things.

I didn't get a single Christmas present from anyone... except...

Sara sent me a SE 182 MAC kabuki though and Ben Nye sealant... that was a WONDERFUL gift.

Last year for Christmas, my mom got me three MAC eyeshadows and hid them in the tree though. That was cool. I would never want a MAC giftcard b/c I hate paying full price LMAO I'd rather buy off these threads or mac livejournal etc. more for the money, haha.

Ok, no MAC under the tree for me because the dumb girl at the macy's counter told my mom she couldn't buy Petticoat MSF there, she had to go to the mac store.. wtf? I saw it there like the other day.. I can understand if they were out of it, but as far as I know it's still available at Macys...

ANYWAYS, my 13 year old sis managed to score some MAC and I didn't. what the hells.. lol She got "Pinch Me" sheertone blush. I have created a mac monster with this one, my mom is gonna kill me, haha.

Buuuut, we are going this weekend and she's going to buy me a MSF and a pigment.

And I'm getting her a pedicure and taking her to lunch as my gift to her.


Otherwise, I got some clothes, Armani Code perfume from the bf which smells sooo yum, a gorgeous pink croc wallet, a pimp ass tourmaline/ionic/ceramic blowdryer, some gift cards, kitchen gadgets (i love to cook), a purse, and other random odds and ends. Nothing too extravagant, but I was happy.

[BEA2LS]

i had a great christmas

besides the presents i got to spend a nice time with family and my boyfriend.

on to the presents!

swingpack coach bag - i sold everything but a coach umberella and coach sunglasses when i was paying off my credit card debt. so it's nice to be able to build it back up again.

ULTA beauty case - it was this shiny pink case filled with eyeshadows, lipstick, etc. OMG! I am so impressed! i am always a bit weary of those cases but wow.. their eyeshadows are great! they are so rich in pigment.

Jessica Simpson Fancy- I picked this out and my mom bought it. I <3 it! She told me to pick out any perfume in Ulta and I really was drawn to this. Not a huge Jessica Simpson fan (though I do not dislike her) but really am in love with this scent!

Baby Phat Goddess - I know a lot of peopel do not like this but I think it's so flirty and fun. (I also am a huge sucker for Baby Phat and got jeans, a shirt and leggings)

Than I also got this one of those VISA gift cards, car seat covers, a fluffy robe I have been eyeing and my parents made my monthly car payment which really, really helped me. I didn't get any MAC (i'm assuming the ulta case was bought instead - but it's awesome anyway and i love it!)

my boyfriend and i live together and therefore share bills. he just got back on his feet with a job and i didn't want him to spend too much (because honestly, it will take away from our money for bills and end up screwing myself in the end!!) but he was sweet and got me essie nail polish in pink glove service because i seriously have dreams about it i wanted it so badly. haha. i also got him something small, because it's what works best for us.

 

[Mabelle]

i got 240$ dollars worth of MAC cards at a mac store.
25$ worth at a Bay location.
and 25$ at the mall (which i think i'll buy sephora gift card with)

Other than that i got a nice hoodie with a black tuxedo blouse. Some Philosophy bodywash/bubble bath stuff in gingerbread scent. My boy got me a beautiful yellow ipod nano, and a shit load of hot chocolate mixs. I lovvvess hot chocolate.

 

[trojanchick99]

Santa was kind this year.
Blackberry Storm- So amazingly awesome and addictive
Macy's GC- 100 going all to Mac
Target GC- turned into a new Nikon Camera 10mp and 5 times zoom.
Caboodles Train Case- Very nice and already in use
---Some small things from Sephora- KatvonD lg and a benefit pallette.

My dh got me the WII Fit for My anniversary 11/24 I have yet to take it out the box.....I think I will do that this weekend.....Hopefully I will be just as addicted...I have been addicted to the bowling and tennis for 2 years.


Adding to my list...My dh also got me the large diamond hoop earrings that I have wanted for 2 years.... Love Love!!!
I think he may have done something wrong....waiting for the confession any day now!
