And he’s gonna LOVE it! I got him a nice big pretty humidor that’s got a place to store all his cigar crap, and I had the cool knowledgeable guy at the tobacco shop pick him out 20 cigars to put in it, and he’s going to charge it and everything so it’ll be ready to go! Sweet! Himself is gonna be so psyched!
I called him and told him I got his present, and he’s not the kind of person who likes hints and stuff - he wants to be surprised. I like to give hints because I just can’t stand waiting for people to open the stuff I picked for them! So he asked, cautiously, where I got it, and I said I couldn’t tell him because that would give it away - which is a good hint anyway, hah! He says he hasn’t figured out what to get me yet, and I said, neener neener neener, I know you better than you know me!
And then I thought, maybe he keeps saying that to lead me off the track that it’s an engagement ring? But prolly not.
Anyway, I was all excited and I wanted to share. Anybody else getting somebody something you know they’re just going to love?
I wish I knew what to get my boyfriend. I got him a some small functional items so far - boxers, a sweater, new fleece blanket, but I want to get him something he wants. Problem is, he doesn’t want much. He downloads all his TV, movies and music. I can’t pick out computer stuff for a programmer, which is also his only real hobby. I’m gonna hit the mall Friday and hopefully something will catch my eye. It’s our first Christmas so I wanna get him something good. I always stress over finding presents for people.
Sure, but I expect sapphires. I personally don’t care much for diamonds, generally, but alongside the sapphires they can be nice. Oh, and wine. I like wine. And big power tools. A bandsaw would be lovely.
I was just planning on getting a humidor, but I was expecting to spend more on the humidor so I made up the difference in cigars! I was going to get the end-table style, but they had a different one that I really liked quite a lot, and the guy there said it was one of his favorite styles.
Throw in a backrub, a good meal and some spontanious oral sex and I’d say your man will have quite the day. And you may have that sapphire before the new year.
My husband picked out the Bluetooth headset he wanted, I paid for it, and he’s already playing with it. (He already gave me a gift in the same manner). He mentioned wanting a drill, so I got that. I’d like to get him a surprise to unwrap, but I’m fresh out of ideas.
My husband is getting a couple of Xbox 360 games he wants—Stranglehold and Ace Combat 6. I fucking hate Ace Combat 6 (he’s been playing the demo) but I’m buying it for him anyway because I love him that much.
Technically this will be our second Christmas together, but we’d only been dating for 3 weeks last year so this is the first time we’re getting each other gifts. I got him a few things:[ul]
[li]An OSU football jersey[/li][li]An OSU football history DVD[/li][li]An OSU football stories book (the OSU stuff will be wrapped as one package)[/li][li]A new “tell all” book about Frank Sinatra (the only thing that hasn’t arrived yet)[/li][li]A watch winder (the only thing that he might be expecting, because it was on his wish list)[/li][li]A LeakFrog (kind of a joke, but I know he wants one)[/ul][/li]Add one or two of the things mentioned by ChiefScott in post #7, and I think my boyfriend will be a happy man.
I have no freakin’ IDEA what to get my husband this year. He’s not one of those people who gets excited about gifts very easily. And how will I ever top the Playstation 2 I wrapped in an old lamp-box one year and surprised him on a day he didn’t even expect me to make it for? Damn.
Now, Zsofia, a while back, you were asking questions about hand planes. I would have thought that, by now, you would have mastered the plane and several other tools and you would be building a humidor. Several woodworking suppliers sell plans and hardware kits for them.
Or the year after. My learn-woodworking plans have been thwarted by continued work on the garage - the drywall sanding has forced all my stuff under cover. I have, however, started work on some scrollsaw ornaments for people this Christmas, which I will assuredly not finish.
I made one dovetail by hand before the drywall stuff. It is seriously to laugh. I hid it so the workmen wouldn’t find it and make fun of me. I don’t think Himself would dare put his cigars in any humidor I built as it stands right now - don’t they have to, you know, keep the air out? Baby’s First Dovetail doesn’t even keep the sunlight out.
It’s driving him nuts - he keeps asking what it is. I asked him if he had anything he had to do tomorrow, 'cause I gotta pick it up, and he was all, “Pick it up? It’s something monogrammed, isn’t it? You got me something engraved.” “Nope.” “Then you got my whole name on it.” “Nope.” “Is it something that could be monogrammed?” “Theoretically.” The hilarious thing is, we were sitting right under a billboard for that very tobacco shop.
I got my mom some gorgeous royal blue alpaca for her to knit up something for herself. But the best is a large tile of Klimt’s The Kiss, for a friend whose favorite painting it is.
