I've managed to get 4 of his presents sorted but I'm struggleing to get many more - don't want to get him socks and underpants this year and he downloads all his music for his ipod! Because of our budget, I have got another £90 to spend (we have no children and not too many people to buy for and have both just got payrises so we are slashing out!)

I've just brought him a lovers leap bungee jump! Basically they strap the two of us together and throw us from a 170ft high cage - Great! I know he wants to do a bungee jump and thought it would be a great gift....but now I am cacking myself

My boyfriend and I have realised there is nothing we acutally need (or particularly want). Instead we have booked 3 days in Amsterdam just after New Year, staying in a beautiful hotel with a wood burning fire in the room. We have got flights through Jet2 and the hotel is relatively cheap0

to be honest we dont really splash the cash..
so this year am getting him the PC game he really wants and then we will have a holiday in the summer and that is our pressie to each other'Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded'0 -
I have an OH who will just go and buy himself anything he fancies so is a pain to buy for.this year he is having a chiminea for the garden as he kept commenting about them all summer but never got around to buying one. I know he will use it as he likes to sit in the garden until late evening and i know he won't go and get one now until next summer.:D

There is absolutely nothing else he needs/wants, he is such a pain.

I have brought my partner a Philips Coolskin Shaver as his main pressie and lots of other bits and bobs. It is our first christmas in our own house together so we are splashing out this year

Isn't 4 presents enough? Use the £90 to pay off more debts.
Like others there is nothing really that I or OH want. We both have birthdays in December too. I have bought him nothing yet apart from a couple of small things for his birthday. We have just bought ourselves a new PC so that will be our present to one another.
Most people now buy what they want when they want so have few needs. Even my DD age 11 said she doesn't 'want' anything in particular for Xmas. She has more than enough so will mainly have stocking fillers.
Ps is SLASHING out something unique to your area. Personally only school boys here in S Wales go for a Slash:rotfl:

Nothing we go to the sales after Chrimbo and splash out !"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
