I have a very low budget this year so we chose to not buy for each other.
BUT he has been so good to me i had to do something so i made up a hamper for him.
I made it into a football hamper and went to cheap shops for the hamper bits
Inside his hamper is..cereal bowl, mug, scarf, towel, flannel, money box, boxing gloves for his car with fc name/logo on them, boxers, socks and deodrant. I also contacted his favourite footie club and they sent me a signed club photo and a signed photo of his fav player xDebtFree FEB 2010!Slight blip in 2013 - Debtfree Aug 2014 :j

Cheers hadnt noticed that thread before. Off for a read now.
Football hamper sounds great and thats really good that his club sent you the signed picture. Might be a bit late to get that but might send off a wee email just incase. He has had a season ticket there for many many years so they might be nice and send one.

well my hubby is getting
peter kays biography
a wet and dry shaver
super smash brawl for the wii
and a new strp put on his watch
i still want to get him a few stocking fillers but don't know what yet
he wants a new mobile but i'm not sure the funds will stretch so that will wait until his birthdayI am journeying to a debt-free life.
Our estimated debt-free date is January 2040. I'm on a mission to bring that date closer!

Have got my hubby bits through out the year and most of the time he has been with me and does not have a clue.
So far he has a couple of new pairs of jeans - as doesnt really bother getting much new for himself
A tee shirt from Play.com of one of his fav rock bands
aftershave - he gets a new one each year from me and always something different as he only ever had joop before
A homemedics back massager to help with his back - he is disabled and medication doesnt seem to be giving him any relief
Star trek dvd
A triple box set of nature dvds reduced to a fiver
a choc orange
loads of no.7 and body shop toilitries from glitches
I know it sounds a lot but in honesty it has not cost anything near as much as i would usually spend.
His response to me is how am i going to get you anything as you are the one that sees the glitches so nothing will be a suprise lol:j Was married 2nd october 2009 to the most wonderful man possible:j

We don't normally bother much for each other........most things we want we get as and when though last year OH got me a blanket to go over my knees when I'm watching tele (result of my moaning about draughts etc.)
This year after him being so ill I told him I didn't want anything.........I'm just thankful he's here but I think he's got me something..........not sure.
Anyway, years ago he had a tiny cross on a chain that somehow got lost -think the chain broke- so I think I just might see if I can get him something like that.I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

Last year my bf and I spent £300 on each other. This year we have a budget of £50 each as we want to book a holiday next year so would rather save for that. So far he has nothing, was thinking of a ps3 game, dvd, t-shirt? Problem is anything he likes he will buy so doesn't leave anything for me to get!:happylove DD July 2011:happyloveAug 13 [STRIKE]£4235.19[/STRIKE]:eek: £2550.00 :cool:0

I've bought my husband:
Some blue suede shoes (really)
A travel razor
Lots of sweeties, as that is all that he said he wanted
A personalised luggage strap (for his stocking)
A reindeer thong (!)
Toblerone
Some nice bits from ASOS with the £5 off voucher the other day: Scarf, necklace, sunglasses, shirt
Pyjamas (for the Xmas eve hamper)0 -
I have bought, as suprises, two ariel photos one of our house and one of our village, a odyssey golf putter (he mentioned them then said I wouldn't be able to afford one) and a bottle of blue sapphire gin. These he knows nothing about because when we were out last week I bought him a jacket and a pair of shoes so he thinks that's it. I may get him some sweets as well (he's a chocoholic).
