Christmas is around the corner...

Ok so I was just wondering what to get my dh this year. Have you thought about what you want to get your hubby??

Re: Christmas is around the corner...

  • I am so excited about Christmas!  There are several things we need/want before we go to Europe in Feb., so I imagine we'll probably get each other those things.  I know DH wants a point-and-shoot camera that he can just keep in his pocket.  I want some new shoes that'll be good for lots of walking...and we both need a few pieces of warmer clothing, maybe a new coat, etc.  This trip is kind of a present to each other...I can't wait!!

  • That sounds like a wonderful present! I would love to go to Europe!

  • we're going to put the money we would spend on each other towards this sign from auburn art that'll have our last name.

    other than that, maybe a movie, video game, long sleeved shirts for work. not entirely sure yet

  • We have some Daniel Moore Bama stuff we want, so that's an option for me to get him. Sounds like some good options.

  • There is a pair of sunglasses I want to get DH... I just hope he doesn't buy them before then!!

  • i'm having a panic attack just thinking about how close xmas is. this yr flew by!

    well, dh has been wanting a new computer for the longest. poor thing keeps putting it off b/c he doesn't want to spend the $ even though i keep telling him to get it. so i think i may just get it for him. he deserves it - he hardly spends any $ thoughout the yr. me on the other hand... ;)

    i've already started putting my wishlist together. i've got mostly things on there for the house. that's kind of my focus now.

  • Now that we have a baby, I don't know what we're going to do.  I just spent WAY too much on his birthday present (a new TV) so I think we won't be doing any big purchases for eachother.....  Scares me that it will be here before we know it though!!
  • I have no idea.  He's wanted an iPhone for a while, but is getting it through work so that's out.  He never really wants anything.  Maybe there will be some new tech gadget he'll want...
  • DH wants us to go in together and buy a tv for the bedroom.  but i don't know what else i could get him.  I actually have a list this year, DH complains he never knows what to get me so i need to make a list.  My list has bigger things on it so now that we maybe getting a tv i won't get the bigger things on my list.  This is why i don't make a list :(

  • with 2 mortgages we aren't doing much.  I think like Celeste we'll do the camera as our gift to each other as we will be going to Italy in May (that's the plan right now).
  • I haven't got a clue what I am getting DH...his birthday is 13 days before Christmas so I have a double whammy!  He has been eying this cool little stud finder thing at Lowes, so that'll probably be his b'day gift but other than that I haven't got the foggiest idea! 
  • Jason and I got ourselves a Wii and it's technically for Christmas but we wanted to go ahead and get it since they tend to have a shortage around the holidays :).

    We'll probably get each other a little something to open on christmas day... I'll probably get him a video game or two and a shirt.

    I want a cooking light subscription and some art supplies :)

  • OH this is such a hard task.  I have to pull ideas out of DH.  So far all I have is a Georgia Jersey. 
  • I have no idea. He's the worst person to shop for anyway, because he says he doesn't 'need' anything.   To add insult to injury, his b-day is December 18 too.

    He's coming up for the first part of my trip home to my parents for Christmas, so I think I'll get him tickets to see Avenue Q on Broadway as a combo gift.  I know he really wants to see it, so that might be the way to go.

    We started a couple years adopting angels off the Angel Trees from the Salvation Army, and we go buy toys together, and make that one of our gifts to each other.  He buys and donates in my name, and I do the same for him.  It's really fun, and I think it's really the gift he likes best. 

  • So funny that you bring this up because I have been thinking about this exact thing all day.  I think I have decided on satellite radio for his car.  DH never says anything he wants though so deciding on something is always a challenge.  I am SO SO SO excited about Christmas!!!!!

  • I am so ready for Christmas!!!!! I am a Christmas freak!!! I can not wait. I have a few things in mind that I can get my dh. We asked for a Wii from his parents and we know we are getting one. My MIL told dh about it 2 weeks ago b/c he kept bugging her about it.

  • I love adopting angels! I have done it for a about 4 years now. It makes me feel so good that a child will have some presents that might not have had any. At my old job we adopted a family. Mom, Dad, and 3 kids! It was wonderful. Mom and Dad came by to pick the stuff up a few days before and we all just cried together! It was so wonderful. That was a right place right time moment!

  • We love adopting angels but we didn't do it last year b/c we kept finding that the kids wanted the lastest and greatest games to the newest game consoles that they already had.  These kids were asking for CRAZY things.  so we will probably do the shoe box thing at church.

    We found the same thing a couple of years ago - I remember one angel asked for an XBox 360...I was like, no. 

  • We have talked about getting season tickets for AU football season next year...We won't really get them though until spring...not really sure...last year we got a new TV so I don't think we are going to do anything too crazy this year.
  • I have no idea and I'm racking my brain b/c DH never suggests anything. It's tough. He has all the DS light games he wants, I don't want to get him another wii game (that was birthday this year)
