[LuckyChimpanZ]

A wall hanging decoration, a tripod, DVDs, and money that I used on a New Years vacation

[SnowAngel]

Last year I got costume jewelry, casual but nice shirts, a laptop tray table, a coffeemaker for one cup, and some smaller items. I pretty much had most of the items on my wish list so as not to have to return stuff later on, why waste money and time, right?

[olga]

When my parents asked me what I want for Christmas, I told them that a book would be fine.
So, we went to bookshop and they got me 2 books of my favorite author, Charles Dickens.

:gelf:

Well then it's a perfect time for a new tradition.... AM i right????

:presents2:

[MacShirts]

Aw that's too bad, maybe instead of exchanging gifts you and your husband should take a nice weekend trip, that way it'll be a gift you both enjoy :D

[ikey2]

Aye, that's a fantastic idea... If you can go to a place that is all inclusive saves allot of money that way...

[tinkerbell2]

yes you are right about a new tradition but we have never been ones for

it you see....but we are hopefully going away for our silver wedding

anniversary so that will be great:yahoo:

[ikey2]

Do you have an idea where you want to go or do for that matter?

[tinkerbell2]

nowhere inparticular,somehere with a bit of warmth would be nice

but probably end up in costa del back garden:santa-smiley:

[ikey2]

This is where the Wife and I went for Honeymoon and it was wonderful.

[tinkerbell2]

rep north side 5 years ago cost 3 grand then.

but it wasn't very nice at all.: (

We were there 9 days and it came about 2800.00 which was not to shabby.

[tinkerbell2]

Hi ikey2

sorry didnt mean to sound horrible in that last post:sad elf:

it really does look georgous, but having to travel from the uk to

there cost thousand of pounds.

unless of course we win the lottery then 'hay' who knows

It never hurts to entertain new habits. I know when kids come it becomes all about the kids but my Husband and I have agreed to buy eachother little gifts. Mind you, I am the one with the least gifts under the tree every year. :presents3:

[tinkerbell2]

yes good idea i shall buy him something small! We do get little gifts

from the children, so its not completely bare :)

We usually have stuff throughout the year for each other.:santahat:

My ex and I always agreed that we would always have gifts under the tree for each other. But it's true that moms always end up with less gift than anyone else...not really fair is it. We also get the crummier gifts.

Now, don't get me wrong - Christmas for me has always been about family, and gifts are about finding that perfect something as a token of your love and appreciation - but that man (the ex) would buy me stuff like a can of wood stain, and I am not a crafty or handy person and wouldn't even know how to open the can.

[MacShirts]

Glad to hear he's your ex! Wood satin isn't even a gift I would give an enemy ;) I always be sure and give my mother a really nice gift, this year it'll be a 7 day cruise!

Wow!! What a gift.. You are very cute.. :smitten:

But we talk about some money, eh? :gelf::gelf:

[MacShirts]

Ah I'm tempted to take all the credit for the gift, especially with the cute comment ;) , but I can't. There are 5 of us all pitching in for the trip for our mother, so I won't be footing the bill entirely, although I wish I made enough to do so!

[Clip Art Guy]

There are some great ideas here but what about the traditional gifts? ... sleds, ice skates, etc. Nothing beats a gift that also gives the gift of exercise!

[Elvira1986]

I always get good/great gifts but I love seeing my presents being opened even better.
