It showed up today and it’s really a nice quality product, I was impressed! Slightly smaller than I was expecting but I got the bamboo stand to go with it and my parents are going to love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920084 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 10:05:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2920084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: I got this Breville one: <a href="https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/breville-bambino-plus-luxe-automatic-espresso-machine-smoked-hickory/14192463" rel="nofollow">https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/breville-bambino-plus-luxe-automatic-espresso-machine-smoked-hickory/14192463</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920082 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 09:31:01 +0000 LemonJack 2920082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH lost a lot of weight this year, so I bought him a new jacket and will probably get him some clothes. He’s hard to buy for. It’s usually whiskey, but I just got him some for his birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920081 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 09:29:20 +0000 Mommy Finger 2920081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: What espresso maker did you get? DH has been using the Keurig that FIL bought to leave at our house and it's pretty cheap. I also hate having to use the pods. I asked if he wanted a better coffee maker and he said no but wondering if something fancy would be nice. Don't think we want something that would make a pot of coffee as I don't drink it.</p> <p>Like the idea of a snacks from other countries box. Will look into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920080 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:25:23 +0000 erinbaderin 2920080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: Coffee of the month? Or my sister-in-law has a Japanese candy/snacks of the month box that she really loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920079 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:24:01 +0000 erinbaderin 2920079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charm55: We don't, but we have a Sonos soundbar in the living room and a Move that we got so we could take it into the backyard.</p> <p>Thanks for the ideas, everybody! I found a good sale on a fancy espresso maker yesterday so ordered that to replace his Nespresso - save having to buy/recycle pods all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920077 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 06:49:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2920077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still stuck on what to get for Swedish Father's Day. It's next Sunday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920073 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:02:15 +0000 nwm 2920073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking about getting him a movie projector and screen. We borrowed a friend's a few times this summer and loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920069 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:45:31 +0000 charm55 2920069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have the Apple HomePod ? I got S one a few years ago and we love it. The sound quality is super good and it syncs well to all our other Apple products. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920068 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:39:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2920068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: New ray bans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920067 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 16:59:11 +0000 Mommy Finger 2920067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there any "manly" of the month clubs that aren't alcohol related? DH doesn't drink but I think something like this could be fun. I was going to look into a jerky of the month. He already does birchbox so anything like that wouldn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920063 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 15:01:27 +0000 Rocker2014 2920063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has had his eye on a Yeti cooler for camping, so that may show up under the tree this year. My other idea is a movie projector setup for our yard (the actual projector and a folding screen) - a friend has one and they've been getting together regularly all year to watch movies outdoors and he's talked about wanting one for himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920058 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:15:01 +0000 JennyPenny 2920058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got a pair of nice sweatpants last Christmas and they’ve gotten a lot of use this year, so I was thinking of getting him a few more. I’m still hoping to come up with a better idea though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920055 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:49:52 +0000 Littlebit7 2920055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just dawned on me that the Opal nugget ice maker doesn't have to be plumbed and it refills itself, so i'm considering that for my husband for him to keep in the basement. I was resistant because I didn't want anything else on my kitchen counters. He loves ice, i hate ice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920052 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:10:41 +0000 Lahela017 2920052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH picked out a computer mouse for gaming that I got him. I also picked up some fun socks, a dice game, and I'll probably get some kind of sweets. We don't do very expensive gifts for each other though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920050 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 11:23:45 +0000 bhbee 2920050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: I really love the assortment in your stocking!</p> <p>I’m at a loss this year too. DH doesn’t like big tech gifts and likes to pick his own clothes, usually. So unless he gives me an idea, I mostly have done fun food and drink gifts or sentimental gifts relating to the kids. Last year I did a twelve days of Christmas where each box had a treat he liked (big and small) or a small bottle of wine or beer (all obtained at World Market or TJs). But that kind of gift giving requires more shopping than I am likely to do this year so I don’t know! I know you can do an Advent calendar for beer or wine at places like Aldi or I think Costco this year, but I’m not sure he’d use a random assortment and they’re fairly pricey (and I’d have to ask a friend to order from Costco). </p> <p>I honestly feel like we just don’t need anything in the era of work at home and stay at home all the time! But maybe TJs treats and wine will have to do again :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920047 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 10:36:26 +0000 catgirl 2920047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is getting a PS5 whenever possible, so I ordered an extra controller and a game to be wrapped under the tree. Also got him a portable phone charger and new pajamas. </p> <p>His stocking has a dragon zipper pull, floss, hot sauce, magnetic bottle opener, nose hair trimmer, and chocolate covered espresso beans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-your-partners#post-2920045 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 10:01:25 +0000 erinbaderin 2920045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at a loss as to what to buy my husband for Christmas. Last year I got him Air Pods and the year before that, an apple watch, but apple hasn't released anything new lately! So I'm hoping you will all share what you're doing, and I can steal your ideas. </p>
