YES! Same here...but then again she gets those all year. lol

 

Last year I got her (us) a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean, year before that a Yorkie...this year nothing! Jk, got a nice coat & possibly doing a remote starter since her car sits outside for 8 hrs at work, she's only 115 lbs & ALWAYS cold.

 

Hmmm, a coat could be a good idea.

 

Hahaha, were you talking to me as in my wife has no coat at all? That would be kinda funny. She needed a new daily, actually warm comfortable one. She has one thats getting older & others for weekends that look good but arent warm.

 

I meant a coat is a good gift idea. I should see if my g/f needs another one

 

I would never attempt to buy a woman clothes, and I tell them not to buy me any...I'm way too picky and they'd most likely be wasting their time.

 

Pea coats and the like are all pretty generic. Jeans, shirts, and the rest of that crap are an entirely different matter.

 

Got mine a Nikon D40 and a Coach bag

 

haha my girl's best freind mom works for tiffany's....so i went through her. definitely got it for a good price.

 

I got him some stuff for the house he is almost done buying.

Shop-vac
2 levels
20 piece screw driver set
book on grass maintenance
the Mercedes-Benz of rice cookers
box cutter for his stocking
$75 gift card to Lowes

My parents also got him a bunch of painting supplies.

 

 

Gotta love the gifts that put ya to work!

 

Yup! He didn't want anything else anyway, and I thought this would help out a tiny bit with all the stuff he's going to have to buy soon. So this is just a head start. He's going to be spending money like crazy pretty soon, so needless to say, I'm not expecting much for xmas this year.

 

Yep.

I always suggest them to find an odd job for me to do instead of shopping for a bunch of gifts, which I hate doing with a passion. Whether it be something they want done on their car, something with electric in their house, fix their computer, etc. Keeps me from having to buy a bunch of crap they might not like, and I know that they'll get some use out of it. I do the same with family members.

Sometimes I make it a surprise too. One year I installed a ceiling fan in my girlfriend's room because she was always bitching about it being hot in there.

 

I'm getting my wife a mop & broom.

 

My girlfriend wanted a tv but idk if i should get it for her... Im way backed up on my bills and i know this is just going to hurt me more... What do u guys think i should do????

 

What size are we talking about? Several under 30" 1080P LCD's are dirt cheap right now.

 

some life insurance would be a good present and make sure you are on the policy to get the $$

 

^ That's so wrong, yet financially sound advice.

 

I wouldn't if I was in your case. If I was backed up bills I have to take care of myself first.

 

wouldn't u get mad? im still thinking hard what to get my gf.. it's been so long that i've basically gotten her everything

 

if you can't afford it or have bill to pay, don't do it.

 

Tiffany's earrings and pendant/necklace

 

She should understand if she knows your situation. Perhaps some flowers and/or something else that shows you care but is relatively inexpensive?

 

It would be nice to get something, but I understand his situation. He's dropping a lot of money on a house. He WAS going to get me this ruby and diamond ring I wanted before the house situation worked out. Now, I'm not so sure. Honestly, at this point I'd rather him get me something cheaper and save the rest for an engagement ring.

I forgot, I also got him "The Hangover" DVD. We saw it in the theater and thought it was hilarious. So not all of his gifts are "put ya to work" gifts.

 

ouch

 

The hubby has been bitching about how our TV is not big enough to watch football. Since his birthday falls on January, my Christmas and birthday gift will be combined to get a new Sammy.

 

^Good call

 

i got my gf ugg boots, an outfit from bebe, perfume, a north face jacket, and tickets to wicked on broadway for during our spring break i figured we do the dinner and a show type of thing, it will be march so weather should hopefully be fairly mild.

 

No clothes. A scuba cert

 

Good girl! You got your head on straight, a home & engagement rings are much better than some cheesy gift this year that will set you guys back. Good luck.

 

Wife loves her Kinde!

 

Wii Fit Plus.

The other gift is more for me than her, but she gets to wear it.

 

our gift to each other is a cruise next month

 

Nice.

 

A LOT less than last year. No steady income ftl. But I'm still happy with what he's getting. Hopefully he will be too.

 

A tanzanite and diamond pendant necklace. Tanzanite is one of those gems that will become rare very soon - then the price will escalate. Only found in one place in the world.

 

whelp, ended up breaking up with her. No go on the sky diving

 

Ouch. Sorry.

 

My girl has been eyeing this david yurman braclet for months now ..



So i bought her that!
