Let's talk holiday gifts

[quinny]

What are you giving your wife/SO and what's on your wish list?

[ElsaVonM]

We're going on a train ride together, sans babies - it's four hours (I think), through woods up a mountain, and they serve a full traditional Christmas dinner on the ride.

On my wish list: gift cards so I can spend some frivolous money. Magazine subscriptions. Origins or other really nice bath stuff. Also asking Santa for a job - in his workshop or otherwise

[joyseattle]

We don't celebrate X-Mas, but we often do a gift exchange or something special for the two of us. That may not be the case this year as I'm hoping to do a 10-day meditation course from 12/21-1/2.
My list: a bfp
Ideas for her/us: Annie.Leibovitz coffee table book (got her Pilgrimage already), legos (seriously), a weekend trip (including a dog sitter) and/or planning a trip to CA.

I will probably buy her Jordans or a pair of western boots, she has been buying everything else for herself that I had planned to get.

For me: My birthday is two weeks before Christmas so I feel guilty asking for much but I would like a new pair of Toms or a trip to the Getty Villa.

We won't be exchanging gifts aside from a little thing or two.

But, my dream world wish list includes a new laptop.

We do very minimal gifts. And anyway, our gift is going to be refinishing the hardwoods to a tune of $2500. Humph.

I will get L some new books. There has been some discussion about getting e-readers (Kindle Fire) for us. But I am not sure if I would actually read more or it would just be another electronic gadget that I would have my nose in and annoy L.

I have no idea what to get her... and this is holiday crazy season, with our anniversary next week, st Nick's day, Christmas, and her birthday. And my birthday too, but that's her problem.

I have no clue. I haven't even begun to think about gifts for K. She is a terrific gift giver so I always feel a bit of pressure to get it just right gift. I should probably start thinking.

As for my list, I don't really have one. I would like some new clothes. Mainly work clothes and shoes. That's not very exciting though.

[never2amazing]

This is when it is bad to have your DW on the same board. However, I really hadn't thought about it though. I really would love her to enroll in some photography classes that she wants.

I really don't want anything. I hope we get to see my Mom. I am excited about this being a Christmas that the Kiddos will be excited over gifts :-) ... (I will teach them the true meaning of Christmas later on in life *smile*.)

[eratmama]

We spend $25 or less on each other. So, I usually get her an ornament and a few "meaningful" things.

I, too, would love a laptop, but without a job, that's probably not happening. My wish list: A dream job--30 hours a week, great pay, great vacation and flextime.

There is a local bank that is doing a promo where you get a Kindle Fire if you jump through some hoops ($250 monthly direct deposit to a new checking account is the biggest one). PM me if you want the info and I'll dig it up.

I would like to give her one tiny heartbeat. I haven't thought any further than that.
