What are you getting for Christmas?

I know this has been discussed a lot on here, yet I need ideas to give DH.  What are some of the things you're asking for???? 

Re: What are you getting for Christmas?

  • our trip to Italy in May, our shoes for the trip (we both needed good walking shoes) and then we decided on 2 small/little things so we have something to open.  Not sure what we'll do though.  I have pj pants for B thus far and not sure what else to get him....... I told him I wanted another piece to my pandora bracelet and haven't given him any other ideas.
    My mom is pressing us as well......

  • We bought a video camera as our gift to each other.  I am getting asked by my mother, grandmother, MIL, FIL as well!  The only thing I can think of that we "need" is a new DVD player...so that will satisfy one person, but there are the 3 other people that I have no idea what to tell them!
  • Well, I already got my Nikon, so the only other things I've asked DH for are two more SD cards for it and an appointment at the spa for a hot stone massage.  I'm hoping the spa gift comes early!
  • Oh, DH also already got his big gift, but I bought him two pairs of Gap's lounge pants.  He has one pair now that he lives in and I'm tired of looking at them, lol, so I got new ones to add to the rotation.  He'll love them.
  • we're saving for a new tv and dvd player.. so either money or giftcards. the only thing i told MIL about was wanting books so i sent her my BAM wishlist.

     

  • The things I've mentioned are a desk, treadmill and new camera.  I have no idea if I'll get any of those things though.  Rick is getting an XBOX 360 from his grandparents.  His mom asked him to figure out how much a fence would cost.  That would be wonderful to have!
  • We're not doing much for each other since we're going to Disney World next month.  But we're probably getting a sewing machine (me) and GPS (DH)from his parents. My parents are probably getting me a camera and they got DH an autographed Jason Campbell print from Auburn Art for the office and Mario Kart for the Wii.

    We cannot think of much to ask for from my grandmother.

  • Bob gave me an add a diamond bracelet a few years ago that had five stones in it, the bracelet has been neglected for a few years so he's giving the stones some new friends this year. I would love to have a new super duper camera but that's not happening. I'm happy with the sparklies. He is the hardest person on the face of the earth to buy for plus his birthday is in Dec. sooooooo I'm stressing a bit about his gift.
  • I have asked for a video camera, all in one printer and a monogrammed necklace I love.

    DH has asked for wallet, camo clothes for hunting, and I think some gun amo or something like that.

  • Well, James and I don't usually exchange gifts.  But his mom has already given us $100 and a GC to Outback.  My mom is getting me a peacoat and she's getting James the Band of Brothers DVD box set, and she usually gives all of us money.
    Siggy coming soon....
  • We are saving up for new flooring for our house so we set a 100 dollar limit for each other this year.  I have no clue what he is getting me because I really didn't know what to ask for.  All the stuff I want are BIG items and way past the limit. Although I suspect he got me an Auburn hoodie that I have been eyeing from Tiger Rags...he had to order it online.  I got him this fleece jacket from LLBean, a stud finder, and the movies Iron Man, Dark Knight, and Office Space. $100 is used up really fast.  

    I have no idea what I am getting from my parents either.  I asked for some new sheets and a dust buster lol.  His parents got me a sewing maching ( for the second year in  a row she bought my gift when I was with her lol) and they got him a Garmin GPS.  

  • We got a new tv as our gift to each other but we are still doing stockings so I got DH some gadgets for the computer to go in there.  I asked for new boots from my parents and a make up bag that is in my Vera Bradley print.  DH is getting a hybrid golf club from my parents.  I have no idea what anyone else is getting him though.

  • I'm kind of in the same boat with Candi.  I asked for things but we changed our limit so we could start saving more.  I had asked for a new watch, digital camera (point and shoot, nothing fancy), and an antique set of China I fell in love with.  I have no clue what I'm getting.
  • Same here, we agreed the Wii would be our family gift (and gift to each other) this year to save money. However, we have had two packages delivered this week that I was instructed NOT to open, so now I'm feeling bad because I'm pretty sure they're Christmas from him, okay I know, I looked at his email!!!! I just don't have any way to make extra $ to surprise him with anything and everything he wants costs a lot (iPod, Google or iPhone, music equip). I made him a new-sew stadium blanket, but he's already using it, so it's not really a gift now and definitely not a surprise. Santa is brining him a cheap Wii game, wallet, and manicure kit, so I'm out of generic or needs gifts and can't think of any good, inexpensive things. :(   Help!
