No big misses this year. W got FOUR different coffee making apparatuses, which I thought was funny. Dh got me a keurig, which I’ve been wanting for awhile and I thing to make cold brew which I also liked. And I’d mentioned to the inlaws awhile ago that our main coffee makers was going to they got us a fancy cuisinart one, and then my parents got dh one for our camper. Landon was really excited by his new skateboard, and pretty much all the toys were a hit. One thing I find vaguely annoying is I got several gifts from extended family that are for the baby, and while I totally appreciate it and they were needed, no one is gifting dh something for the baby you know? I don’t if that makes sense. That would annoy me too about the baby gifts, like that should be a gift for you and YH. I love how people assume anything baby related is for the girl. Not quite the same, but I remember people getting MH an extra gift at our shower. Like, ohhhh the bumbo is for Wine so we'll get her H something fun too (his gift would be alcohol or something totally not baby related)! The baby stuff is for the baby, so in turn for both of us! Let me know how you like the keurig. I was a little bummed we didn't get one this year, I was hoping!

xolastunicornxo, let me know how you like the cold brew. I need my coffee every morning but once I'm working from home I don't want to drive 20 minutes one way to get coffee every morning. I need a way to make it at home that doesn't suck..

Lol, my in laws did this to us, except it was a Pizza stone. They haven’t done it in a few years, but we had like three Christmas’s in a row where they got us the exact same one! I mean, we do use it, but we only need one!

xolastunicornxo, let me know how you like the cold brew. I need my coffee every morning but once I'm working from home I don't want to drive 20 minutes one way to get coffee every morning. I need a way to make it at home that doesn't suck.. Get the ninja coffee bar and some syrup if you like flavored. It makes great iced coffee. I've been wanting to make some recently but it's too darn cold

My MIL got me a bunch of Norwex cleaning supplies. So not necessarily bad, but almost insulting? But I think she meant well and SIL sells Norwex so she got it all from her. But they don't know that we have a cleaning lady, so I'll rarely use most of it. My favorite will be the massage I'm going to get along with a day off while the kids are in daycare next week! My mom got me some Norwex stuff too. I'm not super excited about it. My sister sells it and I bought the face wipe from her and I hate it. They swear by the cleaning cloth and window buffing cloth, so we will see....

My best gift I haven't actually received yet, but my mom is paying for LASIK for me. I have a consultation next Friday!
Tim didn't buy me anything, but he did tell me to go ahead and get the remote start for my car that I've wanted.

I need a way to make it at home that doesn't suck.. I just saw this on a Facebook recipe video from the Pioneer Woman -- I tagged you. She makes big batches of cold brew, and it made me think of you. Check it out -- maybe it would be something you would like.

Check it out -- maybe it would be something you would like. I literally just saved this video like 15 minutes ago lol. Thank you for thinking of me! I think I will try that. It doesn't require any extra equipment so I like that.
