That's what I'm talkin about! Sounds perfect to me. We don't do gifts during Christmas either...this sounds like a perfect idea.

DH looooves Halo Reach - I'm sure he'll enjoy it! (along with the special edition Xbox).
Personally, I think you got the better end of the deal
Agree with AN!!!Autumnovember|1292006558|2793405 said:Nothing. I prefer not to exchange gifts on Christmas and he is fine with that.

This is us, exactly. In the 7 years we've been together, we've only gotten each other a small handful of gifts. We figured out pretty early on that we'd rather do something together and call it our birthday, anniversary, or Christmas gifts than buy one another something.Elrohwen|1291989890|2793123 said:We're not really gifty people - I can't remember the last time either of us have bought the other something as a surprise, and we don't even do gifts on birthdays or anniversaries. We're much more into going out for really good food or taking a short vacation as our gifts to one another.

We like to make a day of it and have a really nice lunch somewhere. Under the influence of at least a bottle of wine, I find I can acquire some really, really nice stuff... We'll usually get each other some small thing to unwrap on Christmas day, but usually just a silly or jokey thing, not anything expensive. I've knitted a sweater for the poor man this year. I'll know he really loves me if he wears it out of the house. My knitting 'skills' are legendary.

This year I'm having a ring made..but I haven't decided which stones to use, and the ones I am sort of planning on using I can't decide on what to have them set in so..I think my Christmas present will be like, this Spring! I want a pair of Muck boots too.
I want to get him a tungsten wedding band, and also this thing he's been talking about..a craig joiner or something? Creg joiner? It's some sort of tool that..I don't know, it does something so you can make things out of wood. He said it would come in handy when he starts the projects I have lined up for him..a bed for London, a bed for us and a wall of cabinets to replace our bedroom dressers. When I asked him what he wanted he said he was tossing ideas around.
