Skipping Christmas/Hanukkah gifts...

Ok I'm a little early but anyway...

Has anyone else decided to 'skip' the holiday gift exchanging with FH while saving for the wedding??

And for those ladies that have done this (maybe last year)...does FH actually listen?? I'm afraid I'll get him a small gift (maybe a book) and he'll end up buying me a regular gift anyway!!!!

We usually in the past spend over $500 on each other for Xmas. He said this year the limit will be $125 and I told him that is way to much!!

All I want is a couple of DVDs and maybe some perfume

We usually do a joint gift and personal gifts. We are only doing the joint gift this year (wii) and then with our tax return we'll make up for the lack of personal gifts with a 50' plasma tv for above our fireplace. SOOOO excited I know we shouldn't cause that's a wedding dress right there, but we are having super bowl next year and it's a must.

I am going to try to talk him into keeping it under $100 this year but I dont think he will listen to me...
Normally he spends between $500-$1000 on my for christmas/my birthday (a week before xmas)

I'm your much much older twin!!

There are so many young brides on here!!!! I'm happy I had all of the experiences I did, but part of me wishes I met FH 10 years ago!!!!

I told FH that I don't think we should give eachother gifts. I suggested to take the money we'd spend on a gift for one another and put it into the wedding fund.

He better listen cause I don't want a gift.


I actually am not buying anyone gifts this year.
