Gift ??

What are you giving your DH/SO this holiday season?? 

Re: Gift ??

  • DH is getting an iPad. He's deploying so it'll be easier to carry than a laptop and he'll be able to FaceTime with us. 
  • i usually get dh some sweat pants (he likes abercrombie) and a few books.. this year, all he has been asking for is some sweaters and cologne. nothing big.

  • pjs - i was going to get him an ipad but then i realized i am going to the laundromat every weekend so no.

    actually, we have spent $$ on upstairs bath, need to gut and have down stairs bath done and 7 billion other things updated/fixed/etc with the house (so that we can pass home inspection for adoption) and build business.  this year will be very very low budget.  maybe get him a gc for massage at the massage school.

    sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
  • As of right now, a hockey jersey and another tattoo

  • Well considering he just bought himself an iMac, im keeping it small.  Some tactical under armor, socks, tshirts, etc.
  • He wants money so he can get a new TV... so family members will prob give that. He also mentioned snow pants and boots, so I'll get him that, some new PJ's, and a few things as stocking stuffers.  We're on a tighter budget this year, so keeping it small.

  • probably something boring- like clothes.  so far i bought him a new jacket.  he NEVER buys himself cothes and has been freezing in the old jacket he has.  i almost feel bad waiting to give it to him.  otherwise no clue.  i wish i could find a better idea, but he is so hard to shop for.  he's just not the person who wants a lot of stuff- and yet he married me.  i love stuff :)

  • I don't know yet what I am getting him.  We are moving and we want to get a new TV, so we will probably just get that and then small stuff for each other.  Originally I wanted to get him tickets to see Jersey Boys, but they are so expensive.

  • Nothing! Although I did tell him that if he found a good deal on a blue-ray player on black Friday he could buy it.
  • I got him some new pj pants and sweatpants b/c he needed it desperately along with a few new shirts. Tickets to see Miranda Lambert in January. I gave him an early gift, he got a video game b/c he has been home since he got hurt at work and maybe one other small thing, he always likes tools.

  • I was going to buy him one of those big tool boxes for the pick up truck (I'm tired of the back seat being a mess). But he told me he wanted something else or the truck.  I forgot what he said so I have to ask him.  I always buy Hubs and my son PJ pants and something cute for their stocking.  I saw the plush Angry Birds dolls so I will buy that for sure.

     

    I told him all I want is my subscription to Cooking Light renewed and money for my New Orleans trip in January.

  • Nothing.  Money is too tight and we'd rather spend it on the baby (and a ton of his cousins!) :)

  • I bought him a wool coat he wanted, a book & some DVDs. 
  • NO FLIPPIN CLUE

    Same here. This mofo is too difficult to shop for. I'll probably just buy him some giftcards again. Actually, maybe I'll just buy myself something that I've been nagging him about which -when you really think about it- would be giving him the gift of less nagging. Brilliant!
  • I am getting dh this dremel tool I see on tv all the time, it looks really handy and with us redoing our bathroom in the spring he should get some good use out of it too. 

    I also got him tickets to this concert he wants to go to, he will get that early as its dec 10th, he has no idea I have them, he thinks he has to go to my christmas party for work. He has been crying about missing this concert for the last month to everyone one. I am planning to not tell him until we show up to the building. :)

    This has been our situation for the last few years. Things are a lil better this year so DH wants a "good xmas"!

    The ideas I have are blue ray player (Target has a great one on sale), sneakers, Knect game, a gift card to get his truck detailed. And I want to make something Giants inspired for his man cave!

    He is also treating himself to the Giants game on xmas eve so I think its a good year for him...lol

  • When I asked DH what he wanted for Christmas this year he said a healthy baby and a finished kitchen (As per him renovations should be done by mid-december) He is a Syracuse basketball fan, so I bought tickets for a game at MSG against St. Johns in February. I'll probably get him a few tools and other little things to open in addition.

  • N just wants stuff for his camera.  I'll prob just pick up a couple of small things (his birthday is also early January so I have to think of both) so at least he'll have something for now!
