Monday's Question

I think we need to come up with a cooler name than 'Question of the Day' or I can just start making the title something completely random :) Anyways, on to the question...

 What are you getting DH for Christmas?

Re: Monday's Question

  • What about instead of writing it out you just shorten it to "QOTD"?

    So far I have a couple of shirts and a watch. I am planning on getting him some stuff for his truck, a work bench for his tools, stocking stuffers, some tools, and more. We go all out for Christmas since I grew up that way. Plus it's easier to do this now versus when we have kids since the majority of presents/money will go towards them anyway.

  • We try and do something together after the Holidays as our present to each other. Sometimes it's just dinner at a nice restaurant or, if we can swing it, a weekend away. Not sure what'll be this year.

  • I don't knoooow... The only thing he keeps talking about is new shoes. Even though we just bought him shoes. And he's incredibly picky, so there is only maybe a 30% chance he would like whatever I would get him.

    We're flying back into town on Dec. 31st- I'm thinking about offering to drive us home, and then actually driving him to downtown Denver and surprising him with a hotel room that we can watch the fireworks from, that has an awesome indoor pool, and great room service.

  • Hubby has given me a pretty basic list - running shoes, flannel jammies, video games. I wanted to get him something extra special but I'm kind of torn as to what that could be so I'll probably stick to his list. After all, it's what he really wants.

  • How about just QoD?

     

    H is turning 30 on Dec. 21st, so I have 2 reasons to buy him stuff!  We are going down to Chicago on his birthday for 2 nights, and one of the nights we are going to a nice steak dinner & to see The Book of Mormon, which is supposed to be really funny.  It was SUPPOSED to be a surprise, but we are going with another couple - apparently my friend's fiance didn't know it was supposed to be a surprise, so he mentioned it in front of H....

     As far as presents go, I bought him a pair of Batman cufflinks, a Bears jacket, and a Bears sweatshirt.  I spent a lot of money on the Chicago weekend & musical tix, so actual presents are going to be a little sparse this year.

  • H already got his christmas present from me (the kitten) so he won't be getting anything else big...I'll be keeping my eyes out for stocking stuffers though.
  • We trying to not buy ourselves Xmas presents since we trying to hit up both Disney and Ireland this year...but I'm sure we both end up buying something fun just to have a gift to open on the day

  • H wants anything that has to do with golf so I'm not 100% sure yet, but he has his eyes on a new club so I'll probably do something like that and also get him a golf outfit!

    He also wants the new call of duty game, so maybe I'll get him that too.

  • I have no idea! He mentioned wanting some board games for stuff to do with guests. He also said he wanted socks and boxers. I usually get him new shirts. He wants an old school guitar hero game with the guitar because he misses his acoustic he left in OR. I just am at a loss what to get him this year. He told me he knows exactly what he is getting me.

  • Since we just blew a huge wad of cash on the new house and have to renovate it (it's now back to studs) we aren't really doing anything for Christmas this year.  But I got him a Fossil watch because he's been wanting one for some time now.

  • I am probably getting my husband a high powered pellet gun, which is the one thing he really wants.  He wants to be able to kill skunks and other pests that destroy our yard (we live in the country and have a lot of pests).

  • My darling H is the pickiest person I know.  Not kidding.  So I pay CLOSE attention when he points out things that he wants.  This year it's a new Dodger's sweatshirt (of course!) and a few things for his new Jeep. 

    My b-day is the 22nd and I need a new dress wool coat - so H and I went shopping yesterday and I found one that I really liked by C. Klein.  Hubby went and bought it and then told the sales lady to "wrap it up!".  It's sitting so pretty under our Christmas tree already.  H felt bad that I was with him, but I'm like, wait I get to go shopping and get exactly what I want - YIPPY!!!  Now I just have to wait for a month to really enjoy it....

  • Um.. a baby. LOL

    No seriously, because we do have the baby coming and I'll be out of work for 2 months while I'm on leave, we agreed not to buy each other anything this year. We're going to get little stocking stuffer things but keep it under $30.

  • We talked about getting an iMac as a gift to ourselves, but we are being really frugal so we may opt for smaller gifts. I have no idea what to get him...
