Gift Ideas

I know, I know, it's only October.

The hubs and I are going to MI for Thanksgiving; and MIL has been asking me what "we" want.  I'm at a loss, I have no idea. (We'll celebrate Christmas on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, with his family).

Husband has all these "wants", but nothing that I can jump in with (subwoofer for surround sound system, a new chip for his car, racing rims, bla bla bla).  I feel like with the wedding, I'm pretty much set.  We're just saving our money for a house.

Can anyone give me some ideas?  What do you want for the upcoming holidays?

 

Re: Gift Ideas

  • My DH would be rather disappointed if we had to get "we" gifts for Christmas.  His wish list includes some new golf stuff, a blu-ray player and who knows what else.  Mine consists of a DSLR camera (probably not realistic), an enamel-coated cast iron dutch oven, and a few cookbooks.

    What about activities you could do together?  Tickets to a concert/sporting event?  Lift tickets at a ski resort? 

  • I haven't been able to think of anything I really WANT this year either. I am either going to ask for a new pea coat or a new North Face fleece. Maybe both. Otherwise, I really don't have a clue.

  • If you are definitely getting combined gifts, how about a gift card to a favorite restaurant or movies?

  • I asked for things off my registry that weren't completed, like a few pieces of our china etc. HTH
  • honestly...mine is kinda pathetic but much needed.  I want gift cards to go clothes shopping!  I haven't bought any for the longest time (I'm talking over a year)...as I didn't buy any in the year leading up to the wedding, and then DH lost his job right before the wedding, and now we're still playing catch up.  So I want clothes! 

    I also thought about asking for left overs on the registry. 

    What about something fun like a spa gift certificate?  Who doesn't like a massage?!
