    So my hubby and I try to find some way to keep Christmas interesting each year. Last year, since Christmas was 1 week after our wedding, we put a max of $20 on our gifts for each other. This year we bought stockings for each other and are filling them. I bought him a cute green crochet stocking from Target and have put 3 small books, a dish scrubber (lol), a Christmas ornament, and an A's jersey in it, but it still isn't full! Any suggestions for what other small bits I can put in?

    What are you giving your SO for the holidays?

    We agreed not to spend much on each other this year, since I'm still in nursing school & we're trying to save for the wedding.

    I got him a back massager, the 1st season of King of Queens, and his favorite candle from Yankee Candle.. lol he loves candles :)

    We aren't doing xmas this year because of the wedding, but my FIs favorite thing is a stocking full of silly toys and games. I usually go to Ebay for cheapo stuff like this, and I try to think of oddball things he likes, like stuff from Family Guy or little toys from his childhood. A couple years ago I bought a bunch of Burger King Kings playing football and he LOVE them. They cost me just a few bucks.

    We aren't doing stockings this year, but usually I would do something like the following:

    Individual Flavored Hot Cocoas

    A bottle of wine

    A magazine (with maybe a magazine subscription)

    Socks or White v-necks

    Lots of his favorite candy (Toffifay) & a Toblerone bar

    Deodorant or other toiletries

      That is so fun! I can't wait to do stockings with Mr. Smiling! :-) Here are some ideas I had:

    - Pajama pants

    - Bananagrams (if you like word games--this is an awesome one!)

    - Skin care items

    - Scarf/gloves/hat

    - Cologne

    - Ornament (I am all about giving an ornament for each year we've been together)

    - Boxers

    - Cozy blanket

      Just a few ideas...hope these help!

    We aren't doing stockings this year, but I got FI:

    2 shirts from Target (thermal and flannel)

    A book he wanted from Borders about the Navy

    A bottle of his favorite cologne (that I scored on sale on Black Friday!!)

    And Halo 3 cause he's getting an xbox from his parents which will be a total surprise!! :)
