Another holiday gift poll (You & DH)

Do you and DH exchange gifts?  What are you getting him this year?

For us, we usually go out on Black Friday and buy a big gift (one year it was a lap top/wireless internet, last year it was a 55" TV).  DH's birthday is 11/23 and mine is 12/13 so it's sort of a combination gift.

Other years when we say that we're not exchanging he has surprised me with something (usually jewelry or something nice).  I surprised him with a GPS one year and I was so proud!

I think we're really not exchanging this year and putting money towards the house.  And we're only getting Stella a personalized toy box and maybe a few stocking stuffers (a new sippy cup, a book, Puffs, etc.)

  • Usually we exchange gifts, but this year we decided to buy a nice camera and have it be a present to both of us.

  • We normally don't buy each other big gifts because.. well, we just can't afford it!  So, I will probably get him pajama pants and he will probably get me the same..lol!

  • we exchange gifts.  we never do anything over the top.  our limit is usually $100 but this year I am buying him a Nook. 
  • Our gift to each other in recent years has been to spend New Years in VT. This year, we have decided to insulate a room in our home and renovate it so that it is useful. It is my favorite room, looks like a library with wooden built in shelves. I am so excited as the insulator is starting work on it this weekend!

  • Yes, we buy for each other. We try to set budgets, but I always go over. I'm not sure what we are doing this year since we are going to Aruba the day after Christmas.

    Same here!  

    Although, we haven't talked about this year, since we are going on vacation in 3 weeks...maybe we will spoil ourselves a little extra on our trip for our gifts.

  • Yes, we exchange, some years are just little gifts like if we are saving up for something like a vacation. 

    This year I did b pics for him - he has no idea!!!

    I've asked for a kindle and some new earbuds.

  • We do exchange.. I send the Dh e-mails b/c he likes to order things online.

    I try to surpise the Dh with something new and fun every year.. and then I buy him jeans and new work pants every year!
