I gave my XW a set with lavender lotion, a hairbrush and a couple other little small things that I "won" in a white elephant game at my work Christmas party so I have absolutely nothing for it.  She apparently gushed over it to the kids even though she discovered that the gift bag said "Happy Birthday" on it.  I'm gathering that it was a re-gift in the first place.  LOL!!

My stbxw gave me a camelback water pouch (wtf?) and a neck warmer. And framed a picture D3 and D4 drew which was cool.

I gave her a nice necklace that the kids picked out. They enjoyed her opening it immensely.

Same here....not a word..no card...nothing.

On an up-note, someone saw this on OW FB page (see below) and it made me happy. I can't see it as she blocked me.

Guess her behavior (and his) has made them lose respect among their peers...
Oh well, too bad, so sad.

Wishing all a stupendous 2014, full of hope and good news!

I decided to send my H a nice (but not expensive) mug that I knew he would appreciate (long story, he's very specific about what mugs are suitable). Anyway I was shocked when he phoned to thank me, sounding more like himself than anytime since BD, albeit a rather sad and miserable version of himself. First time he's phoned since BD too. He apologised for not getting me a present as he 'wasn't sure I'd want him to, so he wasn't sure if he should'  ??? He chatted for a bit until there was a pause when I said I had to go. I then got a Christmas card a few days later apologising again for the lack of gift and signed 'lots of love' :o Since then he's been responding to all my contact (which has been very casual) extremely promptly. I'm glad I sent the gift :) But I'm rather confused now...
