So, What Did You Get?

box-stack300.jpgThe holidays aren’t supposed to be about presents. They are about family, friends, charity and appreciating everything that we have.

Yeah, yeah.

We get that, but we still l-o-v-e the gifts! We love giving em and getting em (and then going to the store and getting all the deals on the gifts those other people returned).

This year CollegeCandy got new iPod speakers (woohoo!), a giftcard to Ikea (yayyy), and a 30 rack of Miller Light (yeah, our brothers aren’t too creative). Oh, and someone got us a Spin Spa… are they trying to tell us something? I mean, we shower daily almost daily. And we use a vanilla soap! Do we smell? Is it that obvious? Couldn’t someone have just told us!?

Anyways, moving on. We want to know what you got this year. Better yet, tell us: what is the best gift you have ever gotten? What about the worst?

    I got a digital camera and I want to return it. My pop said I could after much hesitation. I just don't see myself as the digital camera type? Is that possible? Also, is that bratty?

    my mom crocheted me a beautiful scarf! i didn’t even know she could crotchet!

    my bro got me this pair of jeans from Barney’s that are so stretchy and comfy they actually look like leggings when i put them on…in fact they are called “the leggings” haha

    worst gift was a novelty hat gloves and scarf package from my grandma that has a really awkward pattern on them in this disgusting beige brown color…it literally says “novelty” on the top…oh boy you gotta love her for trying though.

    ugh, my mom….granted she’s southern but whatever…got me this floor length flannel nightie with lace around the collar, wrists, and neck! seriously. I know, it’s so hideous you probably think I’m lying!

    I checked and the thing was like 60 bucks (woah!) so I’m gonna get cash and buy a juicy couture charm bracelet =D

    Best: Sephora Sent Sampler, you get a trial size of like ten perfumes and then you get a certificate that you can turn in for a full size of your favorite!

    Worst: My dad bought me a Hollister MENS sweatshirt. I don't wear Hollister but it was a good thought though.

    worst: crappy karaoke machine with really crappy cds (think 70s party sing along except no good 70s songs were on there… i think the “best song” was rhinestone cowboy)

    best: nikkon coolpix camera :)

    my little brother in a stroke of genius got me a super cute scarf this year, mayjah points for him!

    my bf got me the two perfumes that I wanted and a bunch of movies I wanted, his mom got me a Disney Treasures collectible DVD of the old Silly Symphonies and bare minerals makeup, and my parents gave me a hundred dollar bill, which was the most generous gift I got since my mom just lost her job due to the failing economy. My parents also got me something I really really wanted which was every color sharpie in both the fine point and marker styles.

    The worst gift this year, my bf's aunt got him a huge heavy gaudy resin statue of 2 dolphins which was supposed to look like it was carved out of wood (and she actually thought it was hand carved out of wood. SAD!)

    It’s all good this year! I’m loving the funky new outfit from my parents and especially the Italian leather purse from my sis :)

    best: my mom got me some really nice jewelry (she has awesome taste)

    worst: my grandmother sent me the ugliest shoes you have ever seen. and they weren’t my size. and they were used. and smelled horrible. oh and they were leather. and i’m a vegan. she later said it was a joke. somehow i’m missing how that was supposed to be funny.

    I didn’t get much this year. Buuuut…

    I did get this awesome phone charger..which you can use in the car, in the wall or plug into your USB. Plus it comes with like 12 different charger tips so you can charge like any phone, anywhere! I love it!

    My gparents, as cute as it is that they tried, got me a bottle of Charlie perfume instead of the usual Chanel they get me. I mean, it smells okay, I guess?

    Best: Tory Burch bag. My parents found it in an outlet for like 80 bucks so I got it :)

    Worst: Not actually my present, but "santa" got my thirteen year old sister a life size cardboard cutout of Edward Cullen. It's so creepy. It's been staring at me all day. Everytime I walk in the room I do a doubletake thinking somebody is standing there. Robert Pattison=attractive. Creepy pasty vampires who glare at you all day=not attractive.

    Best: A new iPod Touch last year. :D

    Worst: ONE walkie-talkie. One. I was eight years old, so I stared at it for a second before throwing a shit fit, which was caught on tape. Oh, the memories…

    Tops was the iPod Touch I got myself, and the surprisingly cute sweater scarf combo that my uncle picked out.

    Worst was a bag of chocolate Skittles. Hate skittles, don’t eat chocolate.

    I got to spend Christmas with my bofriend this year, instead of him flying out to Michigan like last year.

Tell us what you're thinking...
