Every year I get a Nutcracker from my husband. I have quite a collection going on now, as this is our 20th Christmas together- wow can't believe that! I have all my nutcrackers on the top of the wall unit he built in our living room, tallest to shortest. It is actually a pitched ceiling, so they fit quite nicely- I will take a picture tomorrow and post.
So, do any of you get a "collectible" gift like that, one you get every year?

Dh used to get me the Kmart bears until one year I finally said "OK, honey, I'm over it and really don't want any more" He agreed as I was running out of places to put all the dang things. Finally gave some away to his nieces as I don't have any girls on my side. He usually gets me my favorite cologne , whatever it may be from year to year. Nutcrackers would be nice, may have to tell him about those.

For my birthday (which is Friday and only 8 days before Christmas) every single year, my mom buys me a Christmas shirt. I have no idea why because I never wear them lol but she always does. And I always get something Wizard of Oz (my favorite movie) :)

:lol: I collect Precious Moments so I usually get something to do with that every year. Get a new ornament every year and a tin of popcorn we all do ever since I was a kid.

When I was a child my mother worked at a glass factory in Flemington NJ and she always had the glass cutters make me a special glass animal figurine, I cherished those things.

Oh Kelly- how special for you. I bet they get a safe place in your house so one knocks them over!

They just hang in my closet! I have a whole section of them. When she's not looking, I throw one in the donate bag :rolling: You would think she would notice that after oh say, I don't know, 20 years that I'm not wearing them anymore! LOL
