This year we have bought practical gifts for ourselves- now hockey equipment for him and new warm boots and warm jacket for me. I just packed his stocking, and he got some of his favourite candy and treats, socks, deodorant, a new fancy water bottle and all new kitchen lifters, spoons and tongues. How romantic!!!! After packing it I can of feel bad.... but that is what he wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays/page/2#post-1299747 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 15:02:11 +0000 irene 1299747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him:</p> <p>-a pottery barn photo frame with our family picture in it<br /> -a blurb book with a collection of photos of him and LO<br /> -a meat tenderizer lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays/page/2#post-1299738 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 14:51:56 +0000 mlm2934 1299738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided not to buy gifts this year (1st time in 10 years!

I wish I could monogram. Last week we bought and moved into a new house and so we aren't doing formal gifts, DH picked out a recliner and I picked out some bar stools and we called it good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays/page/2#post-1299125 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 07:48:14 +0000 mediagirl 1299125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is getting an extension cord thing that hangs from the ceiling of the garage and a memorial stone for our (his, really) dog who passed this year.

Haha. He wanted Madden 25.

The last few years we have opted to choose a gift together for the house - this year we got rid of our glass coffee table in favor for a leather storage ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays#post-1298994 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:43:05 +0000 StbHisMrs 1298994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him a 3 tier tool chest, thought I was done and then found the 50th Anniversary James Bond box set and had to buy it. He's also getting new house slippers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays#post-1298992 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:35:30 +0000 indi 1298992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We said no gifts, but I decided to spring for a 7 guitar stand. I set it up while he was out and displayed all of his guitars. He loved it, and I love not having guitars proped up all over the house. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays#post-1298988 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:21:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1298988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His big gift is lowering springs to lower his car.<br /> I also got him a pair of Oxford shoes.<br /> In his stocking he got stupid expensive underwear, dress socks, a funny mug, and candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays#post-1298987 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:21:05 +0000 Espion 1298987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only got him one gift, and it isn't very romantic, but I got him the Fujitsu SnapScan. It is super spendy, but he complains all the time about having too much paper around. (And he at least once mentioned that he wished he had a better scanner than the flatbed one he has now!) Hopefully he likes it. He already got me my first pair of skis for Christmas, so now I feel like my present is a little dull... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-dear-spouse-for-the-holidays#post-1298983 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:07:29 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1298983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A book on permaculture for the home gardener.
