    Here's what I'm getting T.  Cufflinks.  He's really into them and I've bought him several, so now he's getting a collection!

    Last year I got him some from Sherry Truitt on Etsy.  They were really cool..made from vintage maps and they signified the two cities that echo his background.  One was made with a map of Holly Springs, MS (where his family's home is) and the other is Suwanee, Georgia (where he lives now).

    Then for another occasion I got him some sterling cufflinks with his initials on them last year.

    Now I'm getting him some with his alma mater on them!  (Emory).  That and  a photo book for the coffee table we don't own yet!  lol!

    My family is all excited to buy him gifts.  I'll have to tell ya'll the silly story about what happened 2 years ago at Thanksgiving, the week before I went on my first date with him and how my lovely family embarassed the heck out of me.  Such a good holiday yarn!

    ohh I love those cufflinks, I'm going to get my FI some for our wedding day with vintage NYC maps on them!  Our gift to each other this year was our recent trip to NYC...but of course I got him a cool shirt from etsy that has a picture of a fish that looks like bacon and underneath it's called Baconfish!  He loves fishing and bacon so it's perfect!

    This may be a huge mistake, but I'm getting him the "Mr Beer" make-at-home kit.  I fear our kitchen will never be the same (!), but we put a $50 limit on gifts.  It's crazy how difficult that made it!

    BF so far has a nice long-sleeved shirt.  We were discussing his need for one, and when I was out shopping, I saw an awesome one for $25 that I couldn't use my coupon on. :(

    So I kept shopping and found it in a different color for $20.  I don't know what else I'm going to get him, I like to get him useful things, but not too useful.  Maybe a toy or a video game or something will be the other part.

    That said, I think he's getting me health insurance, and perhaps something else.

    The idea of having insurance is exciting!

    I got him a Milwaukee circular saw to start his collection.  He is always borrowing my dad's stuff, and this one is his favorite!

    HAHA AshleyJane-lol I read yours and then I did a double scroll back to it (somewhat like a double take but with the scroll bar).  :)))) LOL

    I got hubs these Ascot style Uggs he really wanted but I'm calling them a bday present because for Christmas we're writing each other a letter. :)  It's a nod to all the letters I wrote to him while he was in Iraq earlier this year.  :))

    I'm making up a basket for him this year.

    So far inside i have a big box of turkish delights and a big toblerone (his favorite).. a couple of pairs of boxers, a hot chocolate kit haha. And i'm currently in the making of a small scrapbook of memories... i'm going shopping this thursday to add to my basket for him... he needs new scuffs... and maybe i might get him a shirt or something.... maybe a book voucher too.

    I'm so naughty... we did say we wouldn't do presents this year but i couldn't help myself.

    @jwinnings:  That is funny.  Perfect for you two!  Except for the poops part!  I think it's absolutely hilarious as a gift.

    I also found fake candy coal today.  I wanna get that too!

    My FI is in Irak Frown so there is some limitations on what to get him... So I had to be creative...

    I made a Sexy Calendar with pictures of me taken by my friend... Im sending him a homemade video of a sexy Santa helper (got to keep the romance going Wink)  

     I also got him some boxers with his Military Insignia and Im getting him a CAV Hat (Stetson) since he is so excited to be working with a Cavalry Unit....

    That baconfish is really rare!  I don't even think our aquarium (The GA Aquarium) has even caught one yet.

    Really elusive that baconfish!

    @ leelee :) Thanks!  We had to pinky swear because we didn't want one of us to break the deal and then the other not have a store bought present to give too.  Heh.  :)))

    I got him this special universal remote he has been DYING for.  He thinks he isn't getting it!  And I got it for about $70 less than normal price, woohoo!
