We both recently upgraded to the iPhone 5s so that took place of both of our Christmas presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1218045 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:06:58 +0000 sunny 1218045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something small. We just bought a dining set so I don't really want to spend a ton of money right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1218039 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:05:36 +0000 birdofafeather 1218039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: we're doing the same!</p> <p>We love getting gifts for each other. It's definitely one of the ways we show love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1217551 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:36:04 +0000 Ree723 1217551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really - we're not really into buying each other gifts as we'd rather spend our money on stuff we need/want as it comes up. I do love cards though so we always exchange cards for every holiday and occasion.</p> <p>That being said though, I do really like buying presents and will usually pick something up for DH but I truly do not want any presents in return, I just like the buying aspect! I also like that there's no pressure in this situation - it's just if I see something I think he might like, I buy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1217531 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:31:23 +0000 Boogs 1217531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure, but if we do we usually keep it small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1217161 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:24:31 +0000 leelee 1217161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure actually. We will probably take a family trip to disneyland and that will be it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1217036 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:52:18 +0000 chopsuey 1217036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No gift exchanging this year. We'll be on a family vacation this Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1216961 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:32:35 +0000 MrsStar 1216961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We usually get eachother 2-3 gifts, but with a total limit of about $100. This year I have to get him for secret santa as well but that's a limit of $50. So all up I'll probably spend $120-$130. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1216927 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:16:46 +0000 singingbee 1216927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one and we are probably putting a limit on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year/page/2#post-1216916 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:13:57 +0000 Ra 1216916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We always do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216906 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:09:48 +0000 swedishfish 1216906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always do gifts! I bought him a Neat scanner/organizer that he insisted was the only thing he wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216904 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:09:02 +0000 luckypenny 1216904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We only do anniversary, xmas, and fathers/mothers day. We don't do birthday presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216879 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:56:30 +0000 lawbee11 1216879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. Our anniversary is close to Christmas so I think we're going to get a new washing machine and call it our anniversary + Christmas present to one another. Not very exciting/romantic, but I never know what to get him anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216868 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:54:09 +0000 MrsScottish 1216868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave done practical gifts to each other ( yeah we are already using them) because they were big purchases. We also do stockings to each other with a spending limit so that we have something to open. My husband bOught new goalie pads- pro-pads that were $$$$$$ and I got a pair of new nice warm fuzzy $$ winter boots. Not equal in any means but both needed and more then we would normally spend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216840 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:46:44 +0000 mrs. 64 1216840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do gifts, but he is hard to buy for. I'm thinking we should steer more towards a mini getaway or activity we could do together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216821 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:41:05 +0000 anonysquire 1216821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know people go without gifts to eachother? I love giving DH gifts. And obviously I like getting gifts back. I have a couple big surprises up my sleeve this year but we have a trip we might have to end up taking so that would be considered a gift for him as well. There is something so dang magical about buying a present I know he will love, and watching his eyes as he opens it. I am giddy for Christmas!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216691 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:06:56 +0000 GrapeCrush 1216691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting a DSLR for Christmas. That's our gift to each other </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216680 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:04:55 +0000 winniebee 1216680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are buying new skis so no gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216671 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:03:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1216671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We will get each other cards, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216650 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:58:26 +0000 Mrs. J 1216650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We definitely are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216588 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:43:13 +0000 delight 1216588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we always do gifts. He always gets me way better gifts than I get him so I need to think of something totally awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216585 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:42:40 +0000 shinymama 1216585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably. We always buy something big beforehand and say that it will be our Xmas/anniversary/V-day gift to each other, and then still end up exchanging gifts. DH is a fantastic gift giver so I don't mind at all. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216564 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:36:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 1216564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing duel gifts (concert tickets and camera) and then we will do suprises by filling each other's stockings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216558 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:34:55 +0000 MamaBehr 1216558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are not exchanging gifts this year. We had two big expenses this year and we both would rather spend the money on DS, DD and the new baby (who will be born December 27th) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216553 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:34:02 +0000 mrskc 1216553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are. We haven't talked about it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216468 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:11:01 +0000 CakeLady 1216468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just took a vacation to Europe and decided that would be our holiday gift this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216464 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:10:33 +0000 BabyMats 1216464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to buy a new car. So that's our gift to reach other.plus we are going to pay off a big loan. So there goes our money </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216451 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:07:30 +0000 travelgirl1 1216451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to Quebec City on Boxing Day and that's our gift to each other, but we'll probably still get each other a few small things too. I told him a few lie-ins would be the best gift ever... Not sure he listened though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-and-your-so-exchanging-gifts-this-year#post-1216445 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:05:55 +0000 MrsF 1216445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. We'd rather have the extra $ to spend on things that we want as they come up. </p>
