Christmas time is just around the corner..Some would usually think of getting their gifts at an earlier time, and some would be out for a last minute shopping.. But do you already have a gift for your partner in mind? Or, you actually dont have any idea yet? I would like to give my husband a new pair of shoes and pants and underwears, because those are the things that I think he would love to have as presents..He rarely spends on himself and havent bought those things in I think a year now.. Last year, our gift for each other is being blessed with another son.. So, what would it be? It maybe in material form or in kind...

I was planning to give him an Under Armour sunglasses. He lost his old UA sunglasses and he liked it very much and "its expensive" too. Or, I will give him a new wallet because he has been carrying his wallet for almost over 20 years now. And I will make a special message or poem that will be engrave in a stone or crystal.

Oh, I think that is so nice that you had a son for your last Christmas gift! That is truly a blessing indeed! I have no idea what I am going to get my boyfriend because his birthday is in November and then I have to think about Christmas gifts. He wants thermal underwear and socks and boxers and cologne so those will be some of the things that he will get for his birthday and Christmas and I don't know for which or what and what else yet. I haven't even started to save any money yet. And my birthday is in 10 days from tomorrow so he gets to give me my gift first! I already know that he is getting me a bottle of perfume Dolce & Gabana Light Blue. We went to the mall Saturday and he smelled it and liked it. Now I just have to see what size bottle he gets! I told him not the small one!

I would love to get a nice warm fleece jacket for my spouse. We are in a warm weather area, but the winters have been getting colder and colder. Often he has to be outside for his job, at night. It was pretty bad for him last year, when we had a sudden blast of cold winter weather. Lucky for us, it only lasted a few weeks. I think he would love that very much.

"a nice warm fleece jacket" and a big hug from you will make him even warmer and may last the whole winter...

you still have plenty of time to think but come end of november, you might wanna rush if still undecided, coz it's hard to shop for gifts when all the other people in your area are thinking of last minute shopping spree...thanks..

I havent go shopping as of the moment but probably ill have to make a list before i go to the mall to buy gifts for my love one. I guess for my mom ill buy her a pair of pajamas,slippers,shoes and a nice dress for our family reunion which happens every christmas. For my dad: a new set of dvd movies which he always collects, a shirt and a pair of slacks For my sister: a cd with inspirational songs. I guess thats for now i can think of so far.

My husband is a member of MyLot, so I'd better not give away too much information. I can say this much, though. He has asked my mother to get him a slow-cooker (crockpot) as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loves to cook, and thinks that this would be a good idea for us. I think I'll also ask friends and family for slow-cooker cookbooks, so we will have some new recipes.

My husband hardly spends money on himself also. I usually buy him a lot of gifts every year for Christmas because his family don't give him anything ( only his mom) so I spoil him as much as possible. But each year my husband seems like he ask for the same things, DVD's, Music & Books..LOL... He makes a amazon.com wish list and emails it to me a month before Christmas and I usually do a lot of his shopping online. I also like to buy my husband clothes because he always needs clothes also, like pants, socks and undies..hehe

Thanks for the info eds4ko ! Great website you have. A lot of great free information on earning extra money. I bookmarked it :)

Not sure yet, though I do like to get a lot of things rather than one big thing as it is so much fun watching him unwrap presents. I will need to hurry up and get some ideas as I usually start buying in October. I will have to have a look at some websites for some inspiration!

This is wjat I am still trying to figure out; I already know what I am going to get his parents and I haven't met them yet, but I am not sure what to get him, I want it to be something that took effort though. This December 6th- January 4th I will be staying with him in Sweden where he has his home, so perhaps I could be the gift, but he knows I am coming so it's not a surprise haha. I was thinking of getting two tickets to a European country and then surprising him with those, but we are already spending three nights in Barcelona, Spain, so it would be a bit expensive for me to do that. I will still probably spend a nice amount of money on him, but I can't spend a lot of money on me as well and not be broke haha. I'll figure out something good to get him, though I will take suggestions as well! haha

guess, with all those upcoming trips and expenses, you could save on just being YOU as the best gift of all...

Well, it did cross my mind that if that is really your pic, she could give me you lol. But seriously, a puppy. We lost her old dog last Xmas, and both of us and our other dog still miss it, so that would probably be it. Lash

if i had a lot of money, i would like to give my hubby a new cell phone but we cannot afford one. i would also like to give him a new car, but we dont really buy stuff for each other that much. last year he bought me a set of new art pencils and i bought him candy and some collectors items that he had wanted.

[i]Hi eihdra, I don't have any idea right now..LOL! being jobless it's hard to give a material gift since I will end up using only his money and I don't like that idea..LOL! I am trying to work hard here and maybe soon, I can come up with something material which he will also love and he can use regularly! Last year, I give my hubby clothes also! and always compose a poem for him! LOL![/i]

Well money is tight for us so we decided not to give Christmas presents to each other. I still send them to my brothers because they send ones to me but we decided that we would not buy each other anything commercial. My partner has some interesting tastes and I know if I could find a pretty girl who was willing to play I could give him that but I am not at all sure I could find one. He does like your picture, if that's really you. lol

I am thinking about getting my husband a gift certificate for a massage. He works 12+ hours a day 7 days a week on his feet. SO I think it would be a good gift. Also it is something diiferent than the cologne and clothes i normally buy him every year.

My husband is like that too. He spends a lot for me and the kids but not to himself. He's into sporting goods so I am thinking of buying him a shotgun. LOL. We were watching this Hunting Channel when there's a commercial about shotguns. We both liked it a lot and I'm sure he does love it. I think that's what I'm gonna give him this xmas
