Do you and DH usually exchange gifts, or do you buy something kind of big for the house?
We bought our house almost five years ago, and last year was the first year we exchanged gifts...all the years prior we picked out something for the house we both really wanted. This year we have decided we need new living room furniture...we are in desperate need of leather as this little dog is super dirty!!! So that is what we are going to search for!
Re: Christmas Present Poll
Well, we finally took the plunge last night and bought an elliptical machine so we said that would be our joint gift this year since it's so pricey (but worth it for our health). But it would still be nice to have something small to open so last night we set a $25 limit on a small gift.
In previous years we usually exchange bigger gifts. I think we didn't go all out the first year we were in the house, but I can't remember now.
jealous! I'm dying to get one (I've gained back half the weight I lost in my pre-wedding diet, mostly because I don't have easy access to my former housemate's elliptical since moving out), I even know exactly where to put it, but it's kind of far down our to-buy list.
This is the first Christmas we'll have ever been together on Christmas, so we're exchanging gifts. We tend to do big, useful gifts, though, like my iPod one year and his hand-blown glass beer mug. This year I got DH a nice wooden tray/cutting board, a cross stitch kit, and a couple Christmas ornaments, one from each trip we took this year. We're going to buy a nice rocking chair soon, maybe around Christmas, but that's more of a purchase using our wedding gift money than a Christmas gift.
I think we'll continue to give personal gifts, but maybe we'll switch our anniversary gifts to be something for both of us or the house.
