What are you going to buy your sweetheart for Christmas?

If I could afford to do so, I'd purchase a really expensive camera for my spouse. He loves cameras and talks about them constantly. I wish he'd buy a new computer for me as a Christmas gift. My current computer is almost ten years old and drags along. I can imagine that a newer computer would make surfing the Internet much more fun. We saw a really nice computer several weeks ago, but with our current finances, it's not going to work out. Maybe next year. I'm not sure what he'll get for my Christmas gift. Money is tight this year, so I hope it's not too lavish. I'm very practical. What are you going to buy for your sweetheart this Christmas? Jewelry? Candy? Clothes? Any affordable gift giving suggestions for a man who loves cameras? What do you think about a magazine subscription to a camera or photography magazine?

I think it is really great idea with that magazine. i think your sweetheart might like it. i wish also to have more money and give to my fiancee something great. but I am very tight with money too. i already buy him a gift certificate for spa, where he can choose all kinda products, but what is the best they have massages. i knwo he will love it. i took him last year in my country to place, where we had a massage and now he is always talking about it. Also i have new wallet for him and gonna buy one movie, we were seeking for very long time and maybe some clothes.

Since you think about the person you love, I think is very good present. I am sure it is from heart and it is the most important.

I thought about getting my boyfriend an SD card for his new phone. He won't buy one for himself, but he's made mention of it several times. I guess when you get a brand new options loaded phone, you need to spend money in order to use all it's capabilities. *sigh* If I can't get a good price on that, then I'll get him the video game Guitar Hero for his PS2. He's not really into gaming, but I know that game would be right up his alley and would be a lot of fun for the 2 of us to play. I also want to get him a cookbook for men that I've seen in the bookstore. His brother bought him a barbeque for letting him stay in my boyfriend's house for 6 months while he got himself back on his feet and he loves using it, so I thought it might be fun for him to try out some new recipes. I think a magazine subscription would be a great idea for your man!

My husband is a partial handicapped person. His knee is fused and cannot bend. So he finds difficult to sit before computer as he has to stretch his leg straight. It pains. So I am thinking of buying a laptop for him so that he can sit on the cot and operate the laptop. Let me see. The budget is big. But it is my wish.

This year my money is pretty tight too, so I really haven't thought so much about what I want to give to my husband yet. I've been concertarting on my 3 girls because the children get more out of the holidays than the adults do in my opionion. And when you have girls, they do want pretty much everything on the list! LOL

hmmm.. that's a good thing beautyqueen. since you can't afford a camera for your husband. a magazine subscription about cameras and photography will be really fun for him. he'll surely appreciate that! as for you, i hope you get the computer, too. if not this time of the year, i hope sometime next year. i am not really sure what to get my boyfriend. i want to buy him something expensive. but since i am not working at the moment, i can't. i am still in the process of thinking what to give him this holiday. i will go to stores and look for some stuffs he might like and then decide which is best for him within the budget i have. anne

instead buying the whole computer, buy the parts to upgrade it, it will be cheaper and effective. you can buy him some good lens, and a lot of film rolls but not the camera. may this years crismas be the best for you.
