I think he's trying to tell me that having two rooms full of books is enough Actually, I'm really enjoying how portable it is. Right now, I'm reading Jules Verne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499592 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:05:35 +0000 Kari 499592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not specifically, AJ - I'm not zombie obsessed or anything, but B. knows that I think Shaun of the Dead is hilarious, and lately I've been listening to Jonathan Coulton a lot (one of his funniest songs is about zombies: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjcH2UmK1uo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjcH2UmK1uo</a>) More or less, he thought it would be a very random and funny stocking stuffer for me to open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499587 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:45:59 +0000 taylor 499587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ...fun gifts from your friend!</p> <p>Our Family/friends only buy for the Grandchidren...we don't exchange among adults:) My friends and I had a girls lunch.</p> <p>Jenny, your babies are adorable and precious!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499566 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:44:20 +0000 Refugee 499566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my sons got me this book:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shoes-Celebration-Pumps-Sandals-Slippers/dp/0761101144/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1325561951&#038;sr=1-4" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Shoes-Ce.....038;sr=1-4</a><br /> I loooove shoes and am having a grand time reading about history and designers and the stories behind many shoes. I also found out from this book that there are shoe museums!<br /> Have any of you who live in or have visited the Toronto area been to the Bata Shoe Museum? I may have to visit Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499562 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:40:59 +0000 AJ 499562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Kari - Is there a story behind this zombie doll that we should know about? LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499560 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:39:31 +0000 AJ 499560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@JennyK - It's so good to see you on the forum! Is this your natural hair color? I'm so used to seeing you as a blond that I'm blown away by the difference. </p> <p>Your twin boys are just TOO SQUEE-lishous!! I'm afraid they have diverted everyone's attention. Never fear...Mother's Day will be here before you know it! : )</p> <p>Luv that dragonfly pin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499556 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:33:23 +0000 Kari 499556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely! My family enjoys fun and unusual gifts.</p> <p>B. got me a plush zombie doll with removable body parts. (Seriously!) But I was most touched by his gift of a multi-photo frame with some truly adorable pictures of us, both individually and together.</p> <p>B. also gave my dad a miniature wooden catapult kit. He's a very thoughtful and creative gift-giver! </p> <p>Among other things, I got B. a 2 liter glass beer boot, which he really got a kick out of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499553 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:32:28 +0000 JennyK (NC) 499553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooh and an indoor lighting kit. That would rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499549 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:30:42 +0000 JennyK (NC) 499549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit that I didn't get any gifts like that this year. BUT my mom got the twins these super cute little crocheted owl hats that a friend of hers made. They were my favorite gift, as I haven't seen anything just like them. Everywhere we go, people want to know where we got them. My mom got me an onion chopper and my SIL got me an asparagus pot. Sigh. DH and I didn't buy gifts for each other, as we decided to get a new TV for the bedroom instead. I looooove those Monet umbrellas. </p> <p>The Metropolitan Museum of Art store has about a million things I covet, like this Russian Dragonfly pin</p> <p><a href="http://store.metmuseum.org/pins/russian-dragonfly-pin/invt/80003142/" rel="nofollow">http://store.metmuseum.org/pin...../80003142/</a></p> <p>or this Dehn Spring in Central Park scarf</p> <p><a href="http://store.metmuseum.org/scarves/dehn-spring-in-central-park-scarf/invt/12058129/" rel="nofollow">http://store.metmuseum.org/sca...../12058129/</a></p> <p>or even this cute "shoes" card case</p> <p><a href="http://store.metmuseum.org/small-accessories/shoes-card-case/invt/shoescase/" rel="nofollow">http://store.metmuseum.org/sma.....shoescase/</a></p> <p>hrm. I guess no one was particularly focused on me this year. LOL! But that's ok. I'll find a way to get this list to my husband for our anniversary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499544 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:25:43 +0000 AJ 499544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@annagybe - Now that's a BEST FRIEND! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-how-cool-is-that-christmas-gifts-received#post-499542 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:24:31 +0000 AJ 499542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@lyn* - So cute!
