DH is making me master the current one before I start splurging on a new one. Hmmmm.... sounds like a bday or Christmas gift for next year ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386294 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:20:37 +0000 ValentineMommy 386294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Yey! I'm glad we made the right decision to be "practical"...well, it's sorta practical. I'm so excited about it I can't stop researching different lenses, camera bags, etc etc etc :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386293 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:20:33 +0000 chopsuey 386293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's getting a son :)<br /> Hahah we don't usually do gifts for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386290 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:19:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 386290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: We got that for ourselves last year and I'm SO glad we did! Still learning to use it, but I've captured some pretty incredible pictures from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386271 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:10:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 386271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're each going 1/2 in on a present for the both of us - a Canon T3i DSLR. We really want it before LO comes in February, and didn't want to spend completely unnecessarily, so, a combo present it is! Getting older is kinda lame - even if it is a good present! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386241 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:56:08 +0000 ladyfingers 386241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves Rocky and commented one time that we should get this and hang it in the house. I told him no way, but I'm getting it for him for Christmas. It's not that bad, I can live with it :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.paintinghere.org/painting/rocky-9319.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.paintinghere.org/painting/rocky-9319.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386205 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:44:01 +0000 mediagirl 386205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeeee!! I love hearing about all the Christmas babies!!! :)</p> <p>He's getting shoes for his birthday, which is in December. He will probably get some new shirts and pants for Christmas. I'm so exciting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-386182 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:37:30 +0000 birdofafeather 386182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did some work for trade earlier this year, so i'm going to get DH a wetsuit that he really wants for super cheap! so excited to already have that set up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385957 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:31:00 +0000 Springtime 385957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea!

He wears his old pair just about everyday.<br /> And a daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385932 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:18:05 +0000 littlebug 385932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He got a new job this summer that has him walking around in the city, hence exposed to the elements. He needs a good winter coat, so that's what I'm getting him. A warm, waterproof, windproof jacket. Currently researching The North Face and LL Bean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385925 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:14:02 +0000 Andrea 385925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another daughter. I told him not to expect anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385691 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:24:24 +0000 photojane 385691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i really have no clue. i want to make this year special since it's our last christmas without a lo, but i have no clue what to get him. i've already gotten him a man bag to use as a diaper bag when he has lo alone, but i want to get him something fun too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385690 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:24:11 +0000 .twist. 385690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea... he has so many hobbies you'd think I'd be able to think of something but I am TERRIBLE at giving gifts with meaning. :( </p> <p>Usually we end up getting a combined gift for the both of us. (ex. a couple years ago we got a TV, last year we got a new PVR, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385683 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:21:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 385683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at the point where individual, surprise gifts = frivolous money spent and junk piling up in our house. (But we are 7 years in to our marriage! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE presents and we've done our share!!) We really have everything we need. Since our birthdays are 12 days apart (and Valentine's Day is in between), we usually end up buying something big for the both of us and call it our present to ourselves. Last year we got new couches. This Christmas we're thinking about getting a tv to mount on the bedroom wall, so we can move our tiny tv to the basement playroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385674 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:18:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 385674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea... we're giving each other a $50 limit this year because we don't have any $$!!! Previous years we've always gone all out on each other!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385668 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:16:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 385668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don’t really give gifts since we mostly just buy what we want when we want it (within reason). Usually we pick an expensive thing and just say we are giving that to each other. I think we might get a treadmill this year, and we are going to buy a new, larger TV for our new house.</p> <p>We also usually go out to a really, really nice dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385659 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:14:13 +0000 mrsjyw 385659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have NO idea this year. so i asked him for a list for the first time in 7? 8? years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385650 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:11:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 385650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have a few ideas for things to get him.<br /> - Bacon of the month club (seriously, what's w/ guys and bacon?)<br /> - Air compressor<br /> - Smoker (mmm bbq!)<br /> - Photo book of all the pictures of DD and DH<br /> - Car wash gift certificates<br /> - New receiver/sound bar for our surround sound<br /> - Sour candy<br /> - Satellite radio<br /> - Starbucks gift card</p> <p>ETA: I'm not getting him all of this! Just one or two things ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385413 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:48:15 +0000 Mrs.B 385413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alayaya: Ditto DH is impossible to shop for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385379 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:38:00 +0000 alayaya 385379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't got a clue.... my hubs is SO hard to buy for because anything he wants he just goes out and buys right away. I tell him not to during this time of year, but he forgets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385376 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:31:56 +0000 anonysquire 385376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already got him a crap load of nfl gear but I also might get him snowboarding gear, like a snowboard, snow pants, a coat hat and boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-385375 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:27:47 +0000 MaisyMay 385375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm giving him a daughter. She's going to be here right before Christmas. I don't know what else to get him though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384583 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:47:20 +0000 blackbird 384583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting ourselves a new piece of furniture for the family room. A reclining chair. And we're going on vacay. </p> <p>Honestly, we don't really do gifts anymore. It's so hard because we just buy what we want, when we want it. It's not like we're poor college kids and have to wait for the holidays to be gifted something we can't afford :P We're both just like..."eh, i'm good. You? OK". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384538 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:26:30 +0000 Turd Ferguson 384538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO idea. I'm kind of hoping I can pull the "well, we're going on a trip first thing in January...let's just call it good!" card... We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384523 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:23:03 +0000 Bao 384523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not much, we have a LO now so we will be spoiling her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384490 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:15:47 +0000 Smurfette 384490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: No better gift!</p> <p>We are getting a new camera so that is our present to each other. I want to get him a couple little things to open as well. Probably will get some running stuff or clothes. He is hard to buy for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384464 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:09:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 384464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him a Kindle Fire HD and a case + mini HDMI cable so we can plug it into the TV. He'll mainly watch movies on it during his commute to work. It's not a surprise though - I wanted to make sure it's something he'd actually use. I even had him browse the other tablets for comparison. I think he's excited to get it, he hasn't had any new gadgets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384447 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:03:41 +0000 Ra 384447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I got DH a year-long membership to the Beer of the Month club and he LOVED it. Now, I have no idea how to top it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-so-for-christmas#post-384438 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:01:48 +0000 BabyBruins 384438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been talking about getting him a BOB and a nice fancy camera for me :) </p>
