STUBBORN FH

I tried to tell my FH, we don't need to exchange gifts for the holiday and OF COURSE he brought me something WAY TO EXPENSIVE. So now, I have no idea what to get him since his birthday was last week and our datng anniversary was 3 weeks ago. ugh help

Re: STUBBORN FH

I'm all about the DIY kinda gifts - I made FH a photo book from Shutterfly last Christmas and he loved it. Said it was the best gift I could ever give him.

It wasn't expensive - but the amount it costs doesn't matter when you take the time to put something together that is all about the 2 of you.

FH is big into pictures - not sure if yours is but they do have other items you can make for him other then the books.

Re: STUBBORN FH

Yea, I have made him 3 calendars because he loved the first one and has made it mandatory for every year to get a new one. I know he spent like 350 on my gift and I am hello that two people at the wedding? lol

I am just so like OMG!!!!!!

Re: STUBBORN FH

LOL ohh man - yea, if you do the calendar thing then I guess the photo book would be totally overkill.

$350 - wth did he get you?!?! LOL

My FH is the HARDEST person to shop for - for every occasion that involves a gift I have a prob. We said the same thing that we will do Christmas small, which I feel like that I didn't go overboard.

I find that men in general are hard to shop for - maybe do a 'date night' for him - go and do all the things he loves to do. Tix to a sporting event/concert (or the like), dinner at his favorite place - you can even make it a little X rated towards the end LOL

Re: STUBBORN FH

we have this thing with penguins. They say once a penguin find its soulmate it never loves another or mate with another - something to that affect. so we are big on penguins ( we have an ice sculptor at the wedding planned with two penguins kissing)
so Zales.com has this blk and white diamond Penguins pennant- I love it but lets be real i dont need it lol

as for what to get him, I am thinking BOn Jovi tix

If he likes Bon Jovi, get him tickets to see Rock of Ages. You can sign up for free to get discounts thru Playbill.com, and tickets are only $77.50 for weeknights. It's the straight man's musical, and you will love it, trust me.

Re: STUBBORN FH

and the worse part is that he works at the bank I bank at so anything i do buy he will know how much or where from....I guess I need to have my brother buy the gift again

Re: STUBBORN FH

OMG! I told FH that we didnt have to exchange gifts this year. But he was like,' well im getting you something anyway.' Ugh! So I had to run out and buy him something and ended up spending waaaaaay more than I wanted!

Stubborn FH is right!

Re: STUBBORN FH

This was my exact problem tonight! FH and I set a limit of $300 for our Christmas gifts this year. Today we were discussing presents and he goes I went over a little bit but I don't want you to be angry with me. So as the conversation progressed he finally tells me he spent about $500!!!! Seriously I don't think he realizes the expenses that are going to be coming! lol He will wish he didn't spend the extra $200.
