Christmas Question!

What are you giving your FI for Christmas (or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or other holiday you celebrate)???

I don't have any one big thing for FI this year, so just a bunch of smaller things. I got him a pea coat, two polos, a sweater, slippers, cologne, and then a whole bunch of stuff to put in his stocking. My parents are getting him the big stuff this year haha, a bunch of power tools!

I bought him a circular saw that matches his drill set. It's what he wanted. After that i just picked up a few things and some stuff for his stocking.

We are keeping it simple this year too and put a $50 cap on the gift so I just got him a nice robe from LL Bean that has his initials embroidered on it.  He is always so jealous of mine so I finally bought him one!

My FI races so I bought him a track day for a tournament next year. That's all he ever asks for..track days! But I'd rather I spend the $400 for a Christmas or birthday present than have him spend that himself during the year plus the money I would have spent on a present.

Same here!  A new deck and a wedding are good enough for now!

We were thinking of not exchanging gifts this year but decided to do it anyway, I love opening gifts!

I got him a new camera, cleaning supplies for his truck (it's so dusty!), hunting shirt, a movie, and hunting boots. Doesn't feel like a lot but the boots were expensive! I usually get tired of buying him hunting stuff- he asks for them every.single.year. New decoys, new boots, new bibs, hunting supplies are not fun to shop for!

He loves dark choc. covered cherries...so got him those...and the Stephen King book Bag of Bones.  That is all...we put a $20 limit for each other!

We decided to keep it simple this year.  I bought him some new clothes, a new pair of boots, socks, and knitted him a big comfy scarf.

I got FI a Kindle, new jeans and a shirt, some socks (his are awful and have holes in them... haha) and his "weird" gift is this mustard blend sauce from a place called Texadelphia. It's soooooooo good, FI puts it on his cheese steaks and me on my chicken tenders. :]

I think i went alittle overboard with Fi this year...
I got him 2 sweaters, socks, season 1 and 2 of Flashpoint, Dvd of original christmas favorites movies, the muppets christmas movie (that was really for me,, he he), 2 CDs, a measuring tape and flashlight he wanted, a book, toy story DVD, umm I think thats it..

Since I haven't been working we are taking it easy on gifts this year. I got him a controller for his PS3 and the madden game he wanted. But one of those is for his birthday, which is tomorrow. I told him its going to be pretty hard for him to beat last years gift, which was my engagment ring!

He only really asked for little things. I think the most expensive thing I got him was rain guards for his new car we just got and that only cost me 80. Everything else was pretty small, DVDs, car charger for phone, clothes.

We are getting each other pajamas. Its a tradition every year, but other than that we aren't exchanging gifts this year. Budget was too tight

We aren't exchaning gifts this year either, with all the wedding stuff going on we are just going to give gifts to our family.

We put a limit of $150 on each other and we both know what hteother one is getting them for a "big" gift.  I got him a kindle and a 3DS game that he wanted and some small things.

Every year we say we aren't exchanging gifts.  It NEVER works out that way.  We usually end up getting each other at least three or four gifts.  This year I got FI a Carolina Panthers football and ornament, a set of all three Mummy movies, Some LifeBouy soap, from A Christmas story for his stocking. and I am still looking for stocking stuffers.

We set a cap of 75$. I already gave him an iPad stand, a book I really liked as a kid and the movie ET (about 25$ together) when we were exchanging gifts with my family, but  I'm still looking for something really nice. And I can't think of anything.
