O/T what have you bought h2b/hubby/w2b/wife for Christmas?

Wow, your H2b will have a lot to unwrap on Xmas morning - lucky him!

So far I have only got my H2b three things - tickets to see John Legend at the Brixton Academy in March, a jumper from French Connection and series 1 and 2 of the IT Crowd on DVD. I am going out on my lunch break to get him a few small bits though as I work in Canary Wharf and there seems to be a lot of pre-Xmas sales and promotions on! Going to try and squeeze those last minute bargains in ?

Oh you beat me to it!!! I was going to post a 'what did you get him' thread..

ok mine hasssssss...

2 WW2 factual books, 1 Mock the week dvd, 1 family guy xmas dvd, 1 jackson browne cd which might be his anniversary gift instead, 1 porche 911 mug, 1 clothesbrush come shoehorn, 1 pack of lemon and orange jellies, 1 pack of incense, 1 sweatshirt (tho he insisted on NO FABRICS) one excellent toy crossbow with sucker arrows coz I wouldnt let him have a real one, 1 top gear annual umm.... think thats it!

4 good shirts, 1 mug (with a photo of him galloping our horse on the beach on it), 1 pair of good walking socks, pair of binoculars (for our honeymoon), ipod speakers. Think thats it!

? Nothing yet. We decided as the wedding is getting close and we are on a tight budget not to do much in the way of presents. We set a really small limit for each other - so small thats it actually going to be a challenge to find things for each other and that will be half the fun of it. Suits my H2B down to the ground as he is so not into Christmas and TBH I don't think he would have noticed if I hadn't got him anything anyway .... bah humbug!

I had a premenstrual moment in the trafford centre and panic-bought an ipod touch (waaay over budget and don`t think he even wants one).

just can`t be arsed with xmas shopping this year-you lot put me to shame, sounds like you`ve put loads of effort in ?

Nothing.....but he gets to marry me in the New Year!!! Ok I better get him a little consolation prize present!!

Nowt, did even got him a card. I know I sound like a scrooge but it all comes out the joint account anyway, we get what we want during the year.

I normally get H2B loads of little bits and bobs, but this year we gave each other a strict £20 limit ☹️ So have just got him some DVDs and a book.

We figured we'd rather save up so we can get married rather than buying each other crap that we don't really need, but thats just us.

I got him a leatherman tool, a good waterproof riding jacket (bright yellow so he gets seen from miles away when he cycles home from work) and a L'occane gift set.

Awww i love spoiling mine at xmas....as i know once we have kids it will be more about treating them..... some nice gifts out there..

Well mines got lots of little things; guns n roses CD, futurama DVD, new batman dvd, ice age dvd, Vicar of dibley box set (more for me)... the dvds are so he can watch and I can hitch - clever huh? what else... Retro "when the wind blows" book, new scarf, Christian O'Connell book, Britain from above DVD, a mounted old map (c.1800) of where we live, it shows our wedding venue too, plus a photography book (shows our venue too)... finally Prodigy CD and tickets to see them next year.... didn't he do well???

Harry Hill TV Burp DVD and a book of pictures of Football Grounds from Above. How dull. But he'll love it. Yes I have married an anorak.

We decided this year to set a £30 limit as we're skint from the wedding and honeymoon. I have £10 left to spend and no idea what to get with that tenner.

He's got some new Burton snowboard bindings, Playstation magazine subscription, Fat Face top, PS3 game Resistance 2, Oral B electric toothbrush, Chevy Chase DVD box set (National Lampoon vacations) socks, cider selection box, Richard Hammond book and after eight mints.

Oooooooo! Lucky H2Bs! No idea what my B2B has got me - absolutely not a clue even though Ive seen it under the tree and shaken it as much as I can! Hee Hee!

Got B2B a Freitag handbag, a couple of DVDs, Beedle the Bard book, a novel with a wedding theme...need to get some things to go in her stocking actually and had completely forgotten until I saw this thread...may look on the way home this evening...

Ooo do you want ideas???

I'm assuming thats directed at me teehee? ?

If so, ideas would be good! Have a Christmas market in the train station here with LOADS of stands, but haven't had a proper look round yet - am thinking Ill get a few things there, but I dont know what! Any suggestions, please? ?

My OH and I agreed we would not do Christmas pressies this year. We have 2 small kiddies and we spent all our money on them. However she paid for my new helmet (for my Vespa ? ) so I bought her a DS and some games.

I also (and she may kill me on Christmas Day) adopted a Pygmy Hippo at Colchester Zoo on her behalf. She loves animals and normally she loves strange (and smelly) animals, so I thought this would be perfect. But the people I have told about it are telling me that she may kick me out. We'll see.

I reckon a pygmy hippo is a BRILLIANT gift....true, you may get kicked out! But its still an inspired choice!

I just hope when she opens the certificate she says 'Oooo! A pygmy hippo; just what Ive always wanted'! ?

Yes groom, was aimed at you - right gurlies, what do you want to recieve in your stocking??

A new lippy? Fluffy sox for chilling out? Some jewellery (nothing expensive, something fun and colourful, beads or bracelet for example) Bubble baths, candles, a nice notebook, a calander, umm.... thats what id like,does it help you though??

a hippo?? aww cool. I got a tiger one christmas, he was a beauty (hopefully still is!) I approve of your adoption Tailor!

Finally approval of my Hippo!

I will let you know how it goes, but I imagine it will be something like this.

' ... oh a hippo. '

Make up is out as Mil2B gets her soooooo many cosmetics from work...but Jewellry is a good call - she's been hinting about a bracelet (but went for the handbag instead...) - bubble bath is INSPIRED - loves her baths and I dont actually think Ive got her anything for the bath before so thats on the list...and I saw a fab candle stand in the station, so one of them too...excellent work teehee!

I think she will look stunned and then fall about laffin...... she'll love it!

Ahhh glad i was of help groom....! have a great christmas and hope your mystery parcel under the tree is a good one!

Thankyou and Happy Chrimbo too!

Am quite hopeful my pressie will be a good one actually as B2B hasnt had a job for 6 months and so have been looking after her - she got one 6 weeks ago though and when I said lets not spend too much on pressies this year she said I dont need to as I'd just brought her the ring, but she wanted to to spoil me for paying the bills! ? Shes such a cutie!

? sounds all very familiar!!! we are lucky gals

I can't say what I'm getting H - he lurks ? H!

Needless to say, he will have something nice ?

Well hes getting me as his wife 4 days after xmas....what more could he want??!!!! We're not spending too much on each other as we're broke! I bought him a watch for the wedding pressie....so ill prob buy him something small for xmas day. Maybe aftershave.

I have gotten my Hubby a micro brewery! He loves his beer and as soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect!

I did also get him a golf game that you play on the toilet! (he usually plays a putting game on his mobile) so I can just imagine his face when he opens it

?

Nowt. we decided not to do christmas presents this year cos of the wedding, but as both our birthdays are in december, we're not missing out too much. we'll probably get outr wedding rings in the new year though.

I like it as well. H2b got me an adoption of an Orangutan 2 years ago and I loved hearing what my orange pal was up to every few months. Then last year I adopted a snow lepard myself.
