The Holidays and your SO

With the holidays approaching, Im starting my shopping...if you have a SO what will you be getting them? How much is too little to spend/too much?  Did you set a spending "limit" so to speak?

Re: The Holidays and your SO

  • Gah, I haven't even thought about Christmas yet! FF's birthday is on Sunday and I've been working on that gift. I'm doing 27 gifts for his 27th birthday with a little saying or catch-phrase for each one. I've been having so much fun with it!!

    Really cute idea.  When XH and I first started dating I did 8 little gifts for each night of Hanukkah.  Need ideas?  What do you have so far?  I love little gifts!

  • Mr. Kyk's birthday is next week and I got him a flight certificate on a WWII fighter jet.

     

    For Christmas instead of gifts, we are going to save our money and take a trip to Brazil.

    They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
  • i don't think we really set a spending limit but it will be around $350.  I'm getting him new hunting boots, sattelite radio, the indoor docking station for it too and some CDs, and a few other "stocking stuffers"

     he's getting me a compound bow :)  

  • SO has more expensive taste than I can afford right now so I've been trying to pick up on little things he's mentioned he wants such as his favorite movie on blue ray, an arm band for his ipod, new PJ pants, etc.

    YGPM :) I didn't want to put all of my ideas on here, because it's the internet and I don't know who could potentially see it.

  • Last year bf and I started dating in Oct, so we were in a new relationship at the holidays. I got him some fun wine accessories and a nice bottle of wine. He got me an iphone 4. I felt bad that he spent so much on me, and I didn't reciprocate, but I have since learned that he just buys what he thinks someone will like and doesn't worry about the price. And I no longer feel bad. He knows I am on a budget and appreciates how much thought I put into a gift that I can afford and that the recipient will like.

    This year we will do the same ... we are moving in together after the first of the year and I know there are a few things he wants for the house, so that is what he will get this year.

    We don't set a limit.

     Would you mind sending me ideas too? I want to do this for SO :)

  • D and I just started dating in September so we said no gifts. Instead, we're spending three days together in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. The plan is to buy enough groceries and not leave until Monday morning, so our gift to each other is time since we're long distance and so busy... him with his business and kids and me with my business. SO excited!!!
  • Pretty,

    Can you add me to this list....this may be a great way for me to get ideas for his stocking or even Valentines day or something?

    TIA!!!

  • I never really set a limit but SO knows that I am kind of strapped until I start my new job. I also have it bad because both my parents birthdays are around the holidays and SO has a birthday on NYE. I already know he is going to spend way more on me. I was thinking about researching concert tickets to some of his favorite bands, or taking him to a sporting event. Haven't researched too much yet. Gotta pass the boards first and then I will have time to worry about other stuff.
