Happy Holidays and May we all have a prosperous New Year With good Health and Lots of Love.
I was wondering is there a special Gift you received for the holiday?
How did this special gift make you feel?
Perhaps you received a gift you were less
Enthusiastic about. Feel free to share this
Gift as well.
I received a ? from my Ex Partner of 8 years
And I have not decided if I will keep it or return it.
He still has a desire to get back together and I do not. If I keep the gift it may send out the wrong impression.....
I received a pair of nice sneakers. I was so excited! I have been exercising more and needed some for walking. It made my day. The second best gift was a candle from a guy on our first date. It was very thoughtful. I love candles and showed he was listening.
I don't use my phone for this site so no picture but I got an Inga tree from my daughter which is quite expensive but she managed to get it at more than half off.
I post quotes nearly every day on facebook but rarely comment on them. I had commented on one months ago that I needed to get it on a plaque, so she got it made on a plaque.
And a watercolor pic of her kids
I need to post a photo of my alarm NOT going off at 5:15 to get my son fed, clothed and to school on time.
@twshield school is out for the holidays. That's the point.
The gift I'm most excited about is the Ancestry DNA kit I received. It's the one that includes genetic traits and I'm really looking forward to getting the results.
How fun! You'll have to create a post about what you learn. That is a really creative and fun gift.
I bought this for myself last year and upgraded the health portion later- if you hold out, they will eventually drop the price down to $50.
I have no regrets and even bought both my daughter and granddaughter one.
Hopefully someone will create a group about this subject
@KatMalina It may different since yours was a gift but I doubt it.
I think they did offer it to me at $50 right after I got my results but I wasn't interested. Then I would periodically get offers to upgrade for $125. I held out and after about 6 months got the $50 offer again and took it.
If you want the extra and they offer at $50 take it because it will never be lower than that.
I got a sonic boom alarm clock that shakes the bed (along with a loud as f&@k alarm) to wake you up. My bestie knows me all too well.
I can't remember what's it's called, but have you ever seen the alarm clock that rolls off the nightstand and all over the floor? You have to chase it to turn it off.
I had one for years - it gives a nice massage if you ignore it?
@RavenCT I don't think this one gave a massage...I think it was called clocky or something like that and it rolled around the room, getting progressively louder.
@BelieveItNot I meant the Sonic Boom Alarm - it will rattle your teeth out and give a nice vibrant massage if you ignore it.
You are correct about the other - I always figured if I got one of those the cats would deal with it for me? Probably take it under the bed and dispose of it - or it would go where I couldn't reach it.
As much as I sleep way too soundly and don't always wake up to an alarm? I won't chase one around the room. Instead I set different sounds on my Kindle - confusing my brain with different alarm sounds seems to work. As does setting at least three.
@RavenCT I imagine the cats would have fun chasing it around if the sound didn't scare them.
I just looked up the sonic boom alarm clock on Youtube and waited 10-12 seconds and thought are they just showing what the clock looks like or is this going to scare me...few seconds later, it made me jump lol!
I wouldn't want to chase one around the room either. That would last a day and then I'd probably break it.
@Amzungu2 Ever have a sleep study? ? I have sleep issues but at least the apnea is now treated.
Apparently the talking in my sleep is still around too? I'm told I am fun to watch!
That clock worked pretty well for me for years. Good luck!
@Amzungu2, @BelieveItNot loud and annoying! The shaker part really works. lol
Best gift I've gotten in a long time. I've been wanting someone to draw me a pic of an angry banana chasing a scared monkey for like the last 12 years lol. My niece drew it for me on Christmas Eve.
@twshield Yeah, it's why I got her an artists kit with drawing pencils, pastels, paint brushes, etc. She loves drawing so I wanted to support something she loves and is good at. She has the foundation to become better at it.
These three ornaments that I’ve loved for decades. We had them on our tree growing up. Mom wrapped them up for me this year, and I squealed with delight when I opened them! They were immediately hung on my tree. ?
Wow, that's quite a gift TW!
Beautiful!
Love the colors and design!
I have received a gift of a box of cookies, a gingerbread, and a lunch at IHOP. Not much but it could have been nothing.
@twshield I had one of those, actually two but one was much better than the other. One had nine years of my life. Gave me a ring once but didn't want to marry me, just own me. The second one was already married. Be careful. I have no idea why some people are like that.
