hi guys! as we all know christmas is coming soon. and im really excited to see and be with my fiancee this christmas though im having a little problem. i cant think of any gift that i can give her. i want something nice and memorable yet affordable. something unique. i know i should post this in an off topic section but im just wondering if any of you can give me an idea or any suggestions. thank you

her favorite perfume, some nice body lotions, some type of jewelery, perhaps with her birthstone.

thanks for the suggestion roy and yazi but i already gave her those things before. im thinking of something unique though i cant think of any

consider what her interests are, any hobbies she may have. does she enjoy reading, cooking, exercise etc. try to narrow down to one or two areas and think of something along those lines.

What does she like? Claudeth is really into music so I gave her an iPod.

no suggestion Sheriff? you usually have something unique to say.

i've thought of that too. i was thinking of giving her an ipod but she's not so into music. sometimes she is sonetimes she's not. depedns on her mood maybe a portable dvd player?

well the portable DVD player is reallllllyyyyy nice..

though if you're really looking for something unique, maybe you will like my
101 Reasons Why I Love You

I gave my fiance..now my husband.. on our first valentine this personalized 101 Reasons Why I Love You. I bought a nice glass jar & use a rubber pen (in his favorite color) the words "101 Reasons Why I love you"..It took me more than a month to come up of 101 reasons..what i mean is ..there's a lot of reasons i want to put but i want this 101 reasons to be funny, sweet & in serious as well. These 101 reasons were written in small pcs of paper.
THen i wrapped it in a nice box & put a small note the it will took him 101 days to enjoy the gift..

just pick what kind of materials you want for this 101 reasons gift..

That's my Christmas wish and even though David pretended that he didn't hear me when I said "I wish I could have an iPod this Christmas" when he asked me (in a very casual manner as if it's just one of our talks ) for a gift that I really like, I'm certain that I'm gonna have it. LOL

My suggestion is talk to her and ask her of things that she really likes to have... Don't let her suspect that it's for Christmas, though.

well, as for me, I always wanted my husband to give me a jewelry box so that everytime he gives me a jewelry or something small, I can keep them all in one safe place.

I'm eyeing a sliver ring I saw at a craft show by a certain designer. It's both our names with a heart. I hope he remembers which one I want.

You can see what I am talking about http://www.theringdesigner.com

I think a very fancy photo/memory album, with a note from you, how you're looking forward to filling it with all of your experiences together. Take a few of your favorite pictures, and put it in the first page, and label it "The Beginning"..

I did this sort of thing for one of Andre's birthdays. I did so many cards and scrapbooks to fill the time while we were apart, I can literally fill a room.

Wow, thanks Alexandra you gave me an idea what to give to my husband.

ur welcome...

thanks for the suggestion whew!! for sure ill be busy for a couple of days/weeks (especially im no good in doing things like this) hehe

thanks for the suggestion i guess ill try to talk to her in a way that she wont have a clue that im planning to buy her a christman gift. just like you said in a very casual manner hehe



jewelry box will be nice too. since i already gave her jewelries and she still has no jewelry box thanks!



its nice. mmm can i have your permission and ill have it made hehe



photo album will be nice too but unfortunately im no good in doing photo album and besides she did lots of our photo album already hehe

digital photo frame if you have lots of digital photos. jewelery box is a nice idea, perhaps a musical one with a song she enjoys.

digital photo frame? how? yes we got lots of digital photos. but im kind a loss here give me some idea so i know how to do it. thanks

I saw one at Staples... it's like a photo frame, only, it shows pictures like a slide show. It is sooooooooooo cool!

I guess a department store like SM would have it

Well, today David and I went to Circuit City to buy an iPod for "his son". We have a box at the basement where we put all the Christmas gifts that we want to give to everyone and the iPod didn't go in there but in his dresser. My birthday is this Sat... I guess I won't have to wait till Christmas to have the iPod that I want. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's really for me because we've agreed that we will give his son an iPod as our Xmas gift. I'm so excited I'm already listing down all the songs that I want to download.

wow!! congratulations! mm i guess you better start downloading some songs right now so it will be all ready for satyrday hehe
