Is It My Birthday . . . Again?

When I went to work last weekend, I complained to DH about my Nintendo DS being taken over by a pair of tiny 2 year old hands. When I came home, this is what I found waiting for me:
Woo hoo! Not only did I get a brand new DS but also a cool alarm clock to be used with my iPod.
What’s a nice surprise (material or non-material) that you’ve gotten recently?
*Update: My apologies for the misleading title. It wasn’t really my birthday, it just felt like it was.

well, it wasn’t really a surprise per se…i got a new van. i got it on sunday…was thinking i wouldn’t have it until maybe a cpl months from now. i know my hubby would liked to have waited for another year, but he said back about 3-3 1/2 yrs ago, that in 2008 when our truck was paid for, we could buy one. now, all i need is a new camera, an itouch, lemme see what else? LOL jk but those would be nice. lol
oooh – and pink, too –
Someone has excellent taste! Have fun with it!
Your DH is a keeper!
Score!
I don’t think I’ve gotten any good surprises lately! I could use one!
Happy Birthday! Hope you can keep this DS for yourself!
I am so glad to know that Im not the only gamer out there… I just turned 27and feel a little guilty about it sometimes!
My husband’s ex-boss (a REALLY sweet, generous lady) gave us a new portable dvd player for our kids. How great was that?!
Awesome little surprises! I haven’t gotten any… in a long time.
wow, that’s nice. I need to buy a surprise for meesh. hehe, that would be fun! I haven’t done that in a while.
I finally got my Wii last week! Not that I can ever get my hands on it with the 7 kids in my house. And the time I did play, I nearly got my butt kicked at bowling by a 4 year old. I only beat her by one point.
My DH and I are a little older than you guys and all our kids are living on their own so there are no game systems or iPods or cell phones around here to fight over.
But last night my DH came home from work with a giant bouquet of flowers and a beautiful diamond necklace for me! He said it was just a small “Thank You” for standing by him & supporting him through the last 2 years of his cancer scare. For going with him to all of his doctor visits, lab appointments, hospital visits, through surgery and treatment. It has been 2 years now and he is cancer-free! That is the greatest gift I’ve gotten in a while!!
Wow! How fun!!
Um… a surprise… uh… the bathroom is still clean? Not much in the way of surprises around here…
Happy Birthday!
Ohhh nice prezzies!
Surprise? Hmmm, someone telling me I have their heart, for non-material.
Material = a pair of concert tickets I’ve been waiting for arrived early! Excited for the show at the Hollywood Bowl
What a wonderful surprise!!!! I love that it’s pink!
NICE!!
A nice surprise I got this week was small, but appreciated. My hubby broke the carafe to our coffee maker. I looked online and found that a replacement was going to cost about $20 + shipping + the cost of buying coffee for a week until it arrived.
I called a local kitchen store and the guy said someone had returned a defective machine several months ago, but he held onto the carafe. He offered to GIVE it to me for FREE if we came by in the next day or so.
We went down there right after work, and presto! The kindness of that man probably saved us over $30!
Very nice!
Wow! What a nice surprise! My husband, feeling guilty over not getting me anything but flowers for our anniversary, bought me a laptop before we went on vacation this summer so I could get my Internet fix while on the road.
Do wet willy’s at 6am count? That is all I have gotten lately!
Two days ago I woke up to find I had a pimple. I never get them so it was quite a surprise. lol!
I am a flight attendant and one passenger gave me 4 coupons that were good for 2 casses of pepsi so that was a nice happy
(even though I am a Coke girl myself but free is free 
)
happy birthday!
Surprise? What’s that mean? LOL!!
I’ve got nothing!! Not even when he went away on business last week, left me home in the new to us house unpacking, painting, etc. with 3 kids while he was away. Ugh.
I’d like to have a Ipod so we can have a alarm clock like that too. Oh well, not happening anytime soon.
thoughtful man you got there!!
A trip to see my sister – across the country.
I thought that BB had her own DS, I didn’t realize that she had stolen yours! LOL! I’m glad that you got your own now. Yes, your DH is a sweety!
My DH gave me a gift card to one of my favorite stores…only I haven’t been able to find anything that I like there! So instead I’ll spend the card on DD and then charge up the credit card for me.
I want some bling!
Nothing as fun as what you got! My newest “toy” if you want to call it that is hardwired bluetooth in our cars. My wife says she can’t imaging living without it now. The new laws in CA finally urged us to make the plunge and it has been worth it.
Happy Birthday! What a fun loot pile!
Hugs,
Holly
Mr. “S” bought me a snickers the other night while he ran into walgreens and I sat in the car! lol What a nice sweet treat!!!! =)
Well I see that you are just a spoiled as I supposedly am! According to my husband, every day is my birthday, Christmas, anniversary etc!
I have an inkling that pretty soon I will be getting a new camera.
You are loved!
hrmph! nothing! we just bought a house so it will be a while.
Birthday or not, that was a really cool thing for him to do!
very cool and very nice of your dh. i recently bought myself a ds because i realized i was playing my son’s more than he was =) it’s addicting!
Lucky luck you! The past month has been a bit tumultous and my best friends came from all over for a girls weekend – I couldn’t have had a more wonderful surprise!
How cool for you! You ought to have fun now.:)
The last surprises I received from the Hubby no less were roses and a date where he had arranged everything. I loved it!!
Happy belated birthday. What a nice hubby you have.
Aww, what a sweetie he is! I can’t remember any recent surprises off hand, though he’s always doing thoughtful things for me. Last year I was having major computer problems and was ready to toss it out the window. Came home to find a brand new laptop waiting for me!
My birthday was on thursday and all I got was a trip to the emergency clinic with my husband because he was sick. Oh well, we’re going on a cruise in a week so that makes up for it!
Wow, what a nice hubby you have!!! But, then again, he has a really nice wife too
well.. a very merry unbirthday, to you…
(love, Alice in wonderland)
That’s the nicest non-birthday present! You’re so lucky!
The nicest recent surprise was that my 22 year-old son said he would call his grandparents on their anniversary…AND HE DID. That was worth a whole boatload of chocolate to me!
Ooh, now that’s the kind of non-birthday gift that I wish I’d get surprised with – how awesome of your hubby!
