a decent digital camera, something cuddly... it will be hard to beat the uber-soft blanket I got her last year; she loves that thing more than she loves me I think!

i don't want to post in case she sees, but a bunch of great stuff at no small expense. it's my first x-mas with a real job and i can't help but buy her the things i always wanted to. the giant ice boulders will have to wait a bit, but she'll be happy. :)

no g/f right now.

when we stop to think about what we can give people as holiday gifts, the world around us seems to stop for a brief second, then we think about the 'could of' and 'would of' friends that might have been included onto our "shop-4 the season" list.

if I was going to get a g/f something, it'd probably be a necklace for her along with a christmas/new year's card.

nothing. my wife and i haven't exchanged gifts in years. the main reason - we already have whatever we want. we are in a $$$ situation where we can get whatever we want whenever we want so no reason to wait for a special day, christmas for us is everyday.

just being together is a gift one can't buy :D

I'm getting my wife an XM Roady for her car. She's been eyeing mine now for a few weeks.

Wife wants to train for a mini-marathon. I got her an MP3 player so she can listen to stuff while she runs/bikes.

We don't do big gifts since we have our daughter to spend all the money on.
