Family gift
New Camcorder

Me
A new scrapbooking tote thing. I wanted the Crop in Style but am cheap so bought a rolling case by black and Decker. I also got a zip up thing to hold all the big papers and anything in the 12x12 size and it fits over the handle of the rolling thing. (I have been playing with it already)
New Cell Phone..very cool it is the LG VX9800

A sega video controller game thing. He's been drooling over it for a couple months now. It is one of the ones that the controller has all the old games built into it.
THe kids also got him a couple of refills of silly string for his spider man web shooter thing (he is a child smile.gif )

C&K*s Mommie replied: like your siggy!

I am not sure, of what I am getting. It is at Chris' work, because he knows I will find a way into it. blush.gif Whatever it is I had been wanting it. rolleyes.gif Your DH sounds like me, I cannot keep a secret when it comes to gift-giving, either. happy.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: I have no idea. Dh and I don't do big gifts for each other. We have 4 kids and there is never enough left for Mom and Dad. He is not the best gift giver..and I have told him and shown him exactly what I want.. so lets hope and pray I get the PDA I want.. it was a cheapo from Wal Mart..but I have never had one and I thought I would get a cheap and see if I would use it before I went up to a more expensive one.

Clothes for me b/c I have 2 pair of jeans and I really tired of wearing them. And I have maybe 3 nice shirts and thats it.

And I got him.. 2 nice button downs.. a pair of jeans, cologne and I will be getting him a nice belt between 60-100 for one that he wants.
And he is done.

dolfinrse replied: I know that dh has already bought me my Uggz, a pink sapphire and diamond ring, and is buying my perfume from Victoria's Secret. smile.gif

mummy2girls replied: me? nothing:(

A&A'smommy replied: well Jeremiah and weren't going to do anything for each other because money is a little tigh this year BUT I got him the 9th season of mash and well he figured out what I got him so I gave it to him a little early and then out of the blue he went out and bought me cinderella and a mp3 player (I really wasn't expecting anything and didn't really want anything tongue.gif ) I ended up guessing what he had bought me so he gave them to me emlaugh.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: DH's birthday is Thursday, so I totally spoil him then. Not that he doesn't deserve Christmas/Hannukah gifts also, but I would rather give him more on his birthday. So I got him a watch, new sweats, sweatshirt and casual shirt, and golf lessons! We both decided not to get gifts this year for C/H because we're planning a vacation in March!!! So that's our gift to each other! He better have stuck to our deal!!

coasterqueen replied: I got Dh a watch. Not an expensive watch either, just about $60. This is the first year we decided to buy gifts and our max is $75 from each other and $50 in stocking stuffers. So in his stocking he's getting this season 24 on DVD, a "Dad" calendar and two tokens - one for breakfast in bed and one for 1 hour of quiet time to himself. I'll probably get him some candy too.

Since Dh was in Louisianna for his birthday and we didn't get to give him gifts we saved those gifts and the girls will give them to him as their Christmas presents to him. They got him a St. Louis Cardinal wall clock, wall sign, and stadium picture that we framed ourselvs. All less than $50. happy.gif We are being thrifty this year in hopes to pay off some debt. blush.gif

Not sure what he got me but he has the same limit as I do.

We did get a new camera, but we sold some things to get it, which paid 1/2 and we are hoping to sell our other camera to pay a bit more off of the camera so then it won't really be a big expense by the time we are done.


3_call_me_mama replied: I got DH a new winter Jacket and boots form LLBEAN (have to buy form there casue it's free shipping adn lifetiem guarantee and he' sharder on his stuff than teh kids are) and new gloves, boxer briefs and an Air Hockey table. He's getting candy adn fun stuff in his stockign nothing expensive or exciting in there smile.gif Not sure what he's gettin gme but i gave him a small list
Slippers, hand lotion (a travel size for my purse), those fleece/chenieel socks and poles for my snowshoes. so all in all he's in it of rabout $50 tops. IF he gets it all , but i did ask him ot try and be creative and come up with at least 1 idea on his own. (We didn't set limits, casue i coudl care less what he spent and I worked extra and used my christmas bonus (the littel girl I watch ~ here mom gave me $100 extra pay!!) to buy his gifts so i don't feel guilty about spending extra on him!)

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I have no idea we're still trying to decide if we are going to get each other anything this year or not. blush.gif I kind of don't want to because we can only afford to spend $25 tops each and it's hard to find something really great for that much.

kimberley replied: nothing. christmas is for kids wink.gif

mommy_loves_chase replied: i got my fiance 3 cases of blank cd's and a cd case in the hopes that maybe he will take some of the 1000 songs he has downloaded on the computer off. i have been hinting that i want the law and order svu forth season dvd's but we will see if he gets them for me

luvbug00 replied: I'm getting,

mom21kid2dogs replied: I won't know what I'm getting 'til Christmas morning. I got Stephen a digital photoframe, the Kelsey Grammer version of the Christmas Carol on DVD, a nativity tie, O and I are making him a photo calendar and Dudley got him driving gloves.

coasterqueen replied:
Oooh I wanted to get Ryan one of those digital photo frames so bad. We NEVER buy each other anything for Christmas but this year he wanted to do something small. I looked at the price of those things and couldn't get one in my price range. blink.gif Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places for one.

MommyofTwins replied: I'm getting

a silver necklace

a silver charm watch

and some Ohio State University stuff [major OSU buff tongue.gif ]


He's getting

some shirts

a truckload of books [he's a bookworm]

a $50 hoodie [he wears those things religiously rolleyes.gif ]

Kaitlin'smom replied: I dont have a clue I already got my big thing a couple months ago a new entertainment center to go with the new tv he got, well its really for the family. I have been wanting a new entertainment center for a long time so ia m very happy with it

TsurugiButterfly replied: Money's tight this year, so Mike and I decided not to buy gifts for each other (And that decision was made before little T was born) What he doesn't know is that I did team up with my mother and we've gotten him a couple pairs of jeans (he doesn't have any that don't have some sort of holes in the knees.) and we found a good deal on Amazon.com to get him "Patriot Reign:Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players Who Built a Champion" and "The Education of a Coach." Two books he's been eyeing for months.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Nuttin' smile.gif The same thing I get every year. wink.gif

MamaJAM replied: DH and I don't exchange gifts for Hanukkah. The older kids often make something at school or draw us pictures.


I think ILs are giving us a gift card....and my parents usually give us a small gift - but that's it. We have an agreement with BIL & family - no holiday gifts (which is easier since we don't celebrate the same holidays) and with my brother & family we just buy small gifts for the kids.

holley79 replied: First off, I LOVE your siggy Lisa. That is just too cute.

As for what I'm getting for Christmas, I have NO clue. DH and I are both sneaky when it comes to gift giving. We wrap things in unmarked boxes that are either the right size or too big. I started doign this after DH told me what he use to do when he was a kid. LOL He'll probably teach Annika the same tricks. rolleyes.gif
