So what did everyone get for Xmas then? :D

My parents help me out financially all year and I wouldn't be able to have my horse without them, so I didn't ask for anything. But I got...
A lovely new Joules 3 in 1 jacket
A lovely dress and shoes from my grandma as she doesn't want to buy me horsey presents!
Money which I am going to use to buy an EquiAmi
Perfume
Falke cashmere socks (NOT to be worn with wellies at the yard!)
Woolly hand warmers
A fountain pen with horses on it (apparently a present from my horse!)

And I am very pleased with it all - just looking for an EquiAmi now!
 
I got

A skiing holiday to Val D'Isere in a catered chalet on 20th Jan for a week :D
A barbour coat
Lancome make up
Burberry purse
underwear
2 new tops
Gloves and hat
Onesie
Lots of chocolates
Flower bomb perfume
Ted baker bag
£200 from family
£50 Go outdoors voucher

I was very spoilt!

Flippin hell :eek: :eek:
 
Horsey wise, I bought myself a WoW dressage saddle the week before Christmas.... Think that counts!!

Aside from that, brother and his husband bought my husband and I a hamper and a slow cook recipe book; my sister and her husband bought us a big candle in a vase thing which smells lovely, and a hand produced recip book of all our mothers recipes- she died in October you see.
Dad has bought us a tumble dryer- so we are off to choose in the sales.

Husband bought me posh smellies, a favourite CD and perfume.


Very lucky kippers here!! We bought brother and his hubby silver and leather stirrup iron book ends from Culinary Concepts, the sister and BIL a baguette board made from solid oak, a purse and a loo reading book, and bought Dad a bedside tidy/coin collector- really beautiful leather tray things.


hope everyone had a lovely day!
 
Well there was a definate theme going on with my christmas presents this year! I got:

A top with horses heads on
A top with rearing horses on
A top with hunting scenes on
A top with pugs on
A Jack Wills cardigan
£70
Mum is also getting me some Le Chameau wellies, but I need to go choose the ones I want. Can't wait for the luxury of dry feet!

Amazed at how much some people get! Having said that I know as an early Birthday Present Mum is buying me flights to America for my best friends wedding (i'm bridesmaid), and paying for Pickle to go on his holidays at the same time to keep his fitness up as it will be the middle of the event season.
 
Can i add to my earlier post?

I got to ride my horse again after 5 long agonising months!

Oooh I had such a good christmas :).

I didn't get anything horsie.

My best present was from my mum and stepdad and it was a big framed picture of a poem I wrote for my husband on our wedding day. My mum had found a calligrapher to write it out properly and it's gorgeous so touched :).

Otherwise I got lots of nice things,

I got 2 books (I love reading).
jewellery
electronic picture frame
socks :p
chocolate
beautiful scarf
Smellies
Nail Varnish
A fat face pair of jim jam bottoms.

From my husband I got

YSL make up and face serum
YSL make up bag
Estee lauder make up
Chanel make up
Benefit make up
(I write a list so he knows what to get!).
2 white company dresses (he chose them and I love them).
a big fluffy white company dressing gown robe
2 pairs of white company slippers
(I love the white company).
Another book, Marion Keyes can't wait to read it :D.
£1000
A lovely big card with sparkly lights which he wrote a really sweet message in :).
Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice perfume
Lots of colour printer cartridges (don't ask).
Normally he goes super mad at Christmas but he didn't this year as I got a wedding and a honeymoon this summer.

Def agree with presents not being the best thing at Christmas. The best thing was having everyone round to my house for Christmas eve, spending Christmas Day at my mums and Boxing day at my Dads! Eating, drinking, playing games and being merry with my family :).
 
Can't quote on phone but firewell love how you casually slip £1000 into the list then say he hasn't gone mad this year :D lot of very very lucky people on here!! I was lucky too got very spoilt but nothing like some of you!!!!

Glad everyone had a great Christmas!

I was just thinking that! Casually slipping £1000 in there :D wow firewell! If I had that I would be putting it towards an Albion revelation monoflap saddle :)

Part of my Xmas was my john Whitaker passion saddle - which now doesn't fit and is slightly too small for me, so once that sells will be well on my way to one, although will wait till Abbie is 6 or so so she won't change as much :D
 
I got my wintec dressage saddle back in october as an early xmas present from my mum when i went to uni, and for xmas day i got an acer a210 tablet, as an upgrade for my kindle, got some money, lots of chocolate, and some fluffy socks, best part of xmas was being able to come home for the holidays

going to get myself a portable hardrive off the money, and a couple of pairs of jeans and some treats and some new grooming brushes from taz and hopefully have enough left over for fuel to get back to uni after new year
 
Some very spoilt people on here, lucky old you. I was very chuffed as got some more of my favourite perfurme, plus a bracelet by Hi Ho Silver that I have coveted for ages - the silver one made of snaffle bits. Mini TX is dead jealous, and I love it.

Oh, Mini TX did pretty well, got loads of clothes, smellies etc, plus, oh god it pains me to admit this, but I gave in and bought her some gorgeous HKM matchy matchy in coffee.......
 
I had my present early this year, I had a multi fuel stove installed on November and family paid towards the installation which was almost as much as the actual stove! Other than that I had some lovely posh smellies, socks and some rather nice wine from friends.
 
I am utterly flabbergasted by this thread. Speechless.

From my husband I got a new pair of riding gloves and a bottle of malt whisky and I am delighted with both.

My parents arrive tomorrow and I have asked them for a couple of books.

I obviously live on a different planet! :eek:
 
Sheesh!! Some people get more than I've had in a lifetime.

I asked for a hi viz jacket to make hacking safer. Got it. Chuffed. Couldn't have asked for more.

I've also ended the year with a brand spanking new boyfriend who is a total sweetheart and who I like a lot :D

I admit to being slightly flabbergasted too!
 
I got ariat bromonts, a tablet, dimonte browand, new saddlecloth, exercise bandages, breeches, hoodie, gloves, little bits and bobs and money. Chuffed :D
 
And me!!!! People are entitled to spend their money on whatever they like and of course if I had it I'd spend it so I'm just jealous :D but it does not do much to get rid of the whole horse owners are obviously wealthy stereotype :D :D but you are all very lucky and I am very jealous :)
 
I think I also live in another world!
I got a big tube of smarties, some gloves (primark finest) and a lovely dinner from my parents. Brother got me some bath goodies coz I apparently always stink! Ha.
 
I've just scraped myself up off the floor...totally flabbergasted!

My best pressie was getting to wake my 11 month old daughter up and spend her first Christmas with my Husband and her....I was holding out for an eternity ring... I got a new pair of hunters!!! His defence is that we did spend 500k on a house earlier this year so I can't complain!

And me:eek:

I got a horseware bag from my 13 year old daughter which she found on ebay and talked a friend of mine into buying on her behalf with money she earns herself looking after other peoples horses, my son got me a pair of slippers with money he earned washing tractors so I'm a very proud mummy:)

Hubby paid for us to have christmas lunch at the stables local pub so we could do the ponies easy, brillant christmas:D
 
I watched my Oh have a trot and a canter on his horse on Christmas day, a wonderful sight to see after a nightmare of a year for us all. There's nothing that can be bought that could make me happier.
