No clue! I need ideas. We are going to do small gifts since we are going to get a couch, but I want something to open on Christmas morning.

A baby!! I'm due the last week of Dec./first week of Jan. ... Seriously though, I haven't thought about it yet, and I feel terrible. Last year, we exchanged gifts for the first time in 10 years ... It was mostly little things (like a fun t-shirt, nice tie, some cologne, a pass to the indoor rock gym, etc.) ... Just little things I knew he wanted.

I have no idea. It will probably be smaller since I'm on Mat leave.
Oh wait! I will be getting him a magazine subscription, but need something else for him to open.

We got married in November so we usually combine our Christmas and anniversary gift and together but something we will both use. Last year it was a really nice tv. This year it will be a brand new car. (Only because dh wants lo in a new safe car, which we have) they are not always that big of gifts

Possibly a new phone. He also wants a new Bluetooth thing for his car that also has a map thing on it. I think it replaces the stereo? I have no idea so I'm going to ask him to put it on the wish list so I don't buy the wrong thing!

I'm getting DH a bike! He really wants a mountain bike. We always get each other things

@Adira: I think it does. Just make it special Christmas sex.

@Smurfette: Ooooh! Maybe I'll be fertile and get knocked up and it'll be gifts for us both!!

I just bought us George Strait final tour tickets TODAY as our Christmas gift to each other. The concert is in January. We also plan on getting a DSLR camera as well. We are big "Joint" gift givers!

DH always makes a great list of ideas for me to shop from. Usually something coffee related, outdoorsy, or musical. Also clothes. He always asks for SmartWool socks, so I'm sure there will be at least one pair in his stocking!

I have both Monty Python Holy Trinity Box Set and The Mel Brooks Collection on the on-going list I keep for him. Maybe a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings box set. Or something else entirely, lol.

I'm debating on getting him Jim Gaffigan tickets for either Christmas or his birthday. Still don't have another idea!

I'm not sure yet! I definitely need ideas! We do always get stuff for each other for Christmas, but I've been really lame and getting him things he needs the last few. Definitely subscribing so that I can get more ideas as it gets closer!

I'm thinking of getting him a gift certificate to get a massage (he loves getting massages!) and maybe some sweaters and shirts. He never buys himself new clothes.

I'm thinking of getting him a new Green Bay packers jersey. His Brett Favre one has seen better days, and I bought it for him for our first Christmas together, six years ago! Would love to replace it.

I need to think of a good "experience" type gift because my DH never uses 80% of the gifts I have gotten him - just not into stuff (though he would be offended if we did no gifts, so I have to think of something). for our anniversary I have convinced him the last 2 years to pay for family photos (as both our gifts to each other) and do a nice dinner out. that has been the best gift but now I've used it up before Christmas!

I got him a really nice bbq tools set that was on clearance. I'm also getting him a nice whiskey decanter and highball set. His stocking is going to include ice ball molds.

No idea. We usually go overboard on Christmas gifts but need to majorly reign it in this year, since I've been on leave, and we have LO. He really wants a hockey jersey, so maybe I'll just do that, and a few other small gifts.

A new stove. Its or gift to ourselves. Maybe a couple small things but we already agreed that was out gift to ourselves and eachother. Esp since it is DD's first Christmas/Hanukkah and I know us, we will spend WAY to much on a 4 month old who is oblivious to what is happening.

@Adira: @Smurfette: Vag in a box! Merry Christmas! Too far? Sorry.
I'm getting Dan season passes to a local water park and some new PJ's (tradition). And, we're doing a nice vacation this year, so that will be part of our Christmas gift to one another.

I have no idea yet. Last year I got him these special whisky glasses.
Maybe if we're both lucky I'll be gifting him a pregnancy announcement.

@LuLu Mom: I am insanely jealous, his tour isn't coming here that I know of (going to go look now) but we both REALLY want to go!! We've been added, yes!! So there's his gift
I really don't know, his birthday is in November so that makes it even harder for me! I did see a cool stocking stuffer at Eddie Bauer, a water proof thing that I'd have to see to really remember!

@StbHisMrs: Good luck on scoring tickets! We saw him when we were dating when he toured with Reba, it was so great! He's with Eric Church in our city, which is a double bonus for us, he's my favorite "new guy."

@Adira: Totally counts. Especially with having a baby in the house. For our first married Christmas I wore lingerie that had a bows on it, told him I was his present (we'd gotten married the week before). He was okay with that.
He's getting some sweaters from the HB classifieds, and I'll get him something else, maybe some candy.

He has wanted a pair for ages but won't spend the money himself. He keeps looking at them in the shop though and I need to drag him away. Haha
