I bought my DH a "cherry picker" also known as a thing that lifts engines out of cars. Now maybe he will work on one of 8 cars in our driveway..... (he has an obsession). Plus side, he is going to sell one in the spring to pay bills during maternity leave
I made my DH a personalized calendar and a photo album from our trip to Europe this summer. I got him some clothes, cologne, tickets to a comedy show and whiskey glasses. And I'm surprising him with a sex reveal for our twins Christmas morning. He never spends a dime on himself so it's nice to spoil him at Christmas!
I got my H a diaper dudes diaper bag and I'm filling it like a stocking (boxers, socks, candy, maybe a DVD). Also putting funny stuff in there like gloves, a mask, febreeze for "changing baby's diaper". I also got cards against humanity for him, it is such a funny game!!
Normally we go all out for Xmas with each other (last year was a go pro, sky diving, etc), but this year we have to start slowing down for baby.
We're getting each other a Roomba this year. We've been looking at them forever and all of our living space is on one floor. It is pretty expensive but I am so excited to not have to vacuum anymore. Although, honestly I haven't really vacuumed often since getting pregnant. The dog fur blends in well with the carpet so I just pretend it isn't there We are doing stocking for each other. He informed me yesterday that mine may not be as cool as normal because he waited to buy stuff and everything was sold out...I did such a good job holding my angry pregnant lady in.
We're going to a Second City Christmas performance tomorrow night downtown in the Chicago theater district with a nice dinner beforehand. That is our little celebration together. Then we're headed to see family next week. We aren't exchanging gifts because we just bought each other a treadmill a couple months ago that we both wanted badly. Also going on a cruise in January, so we felt that we should save the money and not exchange gifts.
I just bought DH a propane patio heater (the tall standing ones). He loves sitting outside and has wanted one, I hate sitting in the cold but he begs me to so I don't complain but he gets cold too. He wouldn't ever buy it for himself so it's a great gift. Plus with kiddos around we don't have to worry about them getting burned with it up so high like we do a fire pit.
Got my BF an iPad. He spoils me so much all the time so I've been saving for months to get it for him so he could be spoiled. I also got him new shirt, jeans, and chucks.
Between the two of us we've been sick for over 2 weeks this month. We haven't managed to get a tree (or do the furniture rearrangement necessary to put one up). Instead of formal presents we have been buying things openly. I think I have spent more money on things for the corgi than DH.
Re: What are you buying DH/SO for Christmas?
