You are my type of burd

I got my hubby some shoot-em-up games for the pc, which he knows about. But for a surprise I got him a Leatherman - men just love their gadgets!

LadyJ

Tickets to Bruce Springsteen. Had to tell him though because I was worried he'd buy them himself.

DubLegs

Can someone please explain the fasination with the Leatherman - my other half is harping on about it? Won't let me buy it for him cos "i won't get the right one" even if he gave me the name.
Now my best friend (male) wants similar one done by the swiss army knife ppl - can't get it anywhere!!

Every man I know loves them! They have every little gadget needed for emergency DIY. I personally think they appeal even more to men who work at desk jobs Makes them feel like they know a thing or two about DIY.
Bless 'em.
I'd buy a good one for the hubby if I were you, on condition they'll let him change it if it's the wrong one.

DubLegs

Ah that explains alot!

You know the way some men give out about women and their brand labels, funny how they won't accept a similar tool by an unknown brand - has to be a leatherman.

LostinBlanch

Leatherman is about the best quality around and there's also a lifetime guarantee with it.

Thanks for reminding me what I want for xmas

Leeby

Thin Lizzy ticket
I Keano tickets (getting him two so he can bring someone else cos I'm pretty sure I'd find it boring!)
A book

Star Lord

Aw Damo that's sad. Still, if you have it in a drawer then at least it won't go off

Star Lord

Lol! It'd go off less if it was being used by someone. And would not feel right giving it to someone else really, as it would have been bought with the other girl in mind...

SMM

Got him an ipod touch and a lucky bag

I love the lucky bag part Think I'll do that for my girlies, it would give them a giggle. We do kris krindle but would be nice to give them all something small!

I dont have an OH, when I'm single at xmas I usually buy myself something nice (is that sad?) but I was off in Florida a few weeks ago so I'll consider that as my xmas present to myself I'm fierce generous amnt I

Rogueish

Some sports gear that he was with me when I bought it.

His surprise is making one of his fantasies come true .

well, we on general presumption, the JD is mine, but he'll usually have a few beers first, and then move onto the JD, so i do tend to get most of it. though he's more than welcome to it, he's extra cute when he's drunk

Star Lord

I got my friend Narco a t-shirt!

Crumble Froo

i that tshirt. intend wearing it in on wednesday night, too

The present would be ruined then!:eek::p

CathyMoran

I got my husband an eee pc http://eeepc.asus.com/global/ , to be fair, he told me that he was getting me one, then a few days later he said that he wanted one, turns out he ordered the two at the same time!

Chinafoot

We're both getting each other the same thing - a year's unlimited card for Cineworld

takola

I got himself a keyboard. Have a drum machine picked out too but I'm not too sure on that yet as he's quite fussy. Might just leave that one for him to pick out himself! Obviously then there's the little things you pick up too.

It's our birthday on Thursday. I forgot and have nothing for it yet!! Have absolutely no idea what I'm going to get either!

lezizi

I got him an external harddrive, how romantic, Ill prob pick up some other bits too if i get the chance.

I'm *so* excited about it!!! I hadn't even thought about going to Disneyland, now there's an idea...

Catari Jaguar

I got him a watch he saw online and liked, an enlarged framed picture of us, a trip to London for the two of us next week and some nice lingerie for me (which counts as his presie too!)

bluedolphin

I have *no* idea what to get him...we're only together just under 2 months so I've no idea where to draw the line between what's too much and what's not considerate enough. And I'm running out of time. *sigh*:(

Damn you!!..you've more of a chance of getting a piece of jewellery from Serano's then I do!!!*sigh*:(

Lil' Smiler

Where and what is Serano's??

You could buy yourself presents!!


I do that anyway... one for mum, one for me, one for dad... one for me

Fast_Mover

Serano's is a lovely jewellery shop in Limerick in which myself and bluedolphin were aspiring to get jewellery from..

I must start getting presents tomorrow..Will remember the 'one for me' slogan Lil'Smiler!!:D
