What are you getting your FH this year ladies? We aren't having a big Christmas like we did last year since we are trying to save, but I have no idea what to get him. He's one of those guys who has everything he needs and wants. I'm going nuts!

I'm in the same boat as you. It's so hard to shop for him because if he wants something he just goes out and buys it. I'm so lost, thank god I have over a month haha

I was toying with the idea of not exchanging this year. As it is, we're only buying joint gifts for our parents and not even our siblings and their significant others.

BUT I don't think he's comfortable with not exchanging, so if we do decide to, I'm buying him the Iso-Cool pillow. It sounds weird, I know, hahaha. But he got me one for Christmas last year and since we moved in together, I keep waking up to find him sleeping on it with me because he loves it so much and he has the crappiest pillow in the history of ever right now.

Fh's bday is 12/14 so I always get so stuck, I need to think of two great gifts! We travel ALOT, and we've seen so many places globally, but we forget the cool places here. We've been saying since we started dating we need to go to AC together, so I booked the Borgata for the night of his bday.

For Christmas I think he wants the Playstation Vita & a few games...he's off all winter so it'll give him a new gadget to play with.

He always knows what I'm going to get him! I always try to remember things he says he wants then he goes and buys them! He almost bought the PS Vita a few weeks ago and I had to spill the beans. I was like NOOO you don't need one of those! Haha :)

@ lori0413 I think you answered my dilemma! FI is always complaining about how hot his pillow is, I think you've saved the day!

I have the same problem--my fiance always just buys what he wants. The things he doesn't buy are the things that are totally out of our budget we set! I'll figure it out, Christmas is just so stressful for me to begin with and now we're saving for a big wedding! It'll be worth it in 2014 though :)

We both love Christmas so we couldn't not get each other anything. We're going to do a few small gifts for eachother, pay off our limos and probably buy our pots and pans set.

we are getting eachother one gift and then joint gifs for our parents - it just doesnt make sense spending the 1000 plus getting gift when we need to put whatever we can towards our future

I LOVE Christmas & this year we decided to really scale down because we are saving. That being said I have NO CLUE what to get him. He is one of the hardest people to buy things for because he never wants or asks for anything so I always have to come up with 'that great gift' and its not easy! I am hoping something will jump out at me during my black friday shopping :)

ughhh i wish I could be like you girls- i love december and christmas hence my wedding date. I am so christmas obsessed its to the point of being like the people from whooville in the Dr. Seuss movie.... I've already hit the $1000 mark and I'm not done shopping yet :( i'm terrible!!!!

I'm even staying after work today to decorate my classroom for christmas...

I think next year I'm going to hand over all my money to my fiance and let him control the money- hes super good at saving... I'm not :( luckily I make enough where I can spend and save at the same time...

I'm usually a big black friday shopper! Love getting to the outlets at 12am and shopping untill 8am! I usually get ALL my christmas shopping done! Cept this year I'm preggers and I don't wanna go out and get pushed around by anyone! I've had people like rip coach bags outta my hands at the outlets, it's not a pretty site!! LoL I have NO idea what I'm going to do this year especially bc we're saving for baby and wedding. We are def getting joint gifts for the parents and no idea what I'm getting my fiance! He broke his humidor and loves his cigars so def one of those!

FH and I decided to scale down Christmas gifts this year. Since there's nothing we really both want and we're saving for the wedding & other things, we decided to wait until we find a good groupon/living social deal for a weekend away somewhere and split it :)
