Well, I guess I opened a big can of worms!! For the first time in 12 years, this is the year he's asking for stuff. Not only does he want a new cell phone, but he just handed me a Northern tool magazine & wants an air hose winder & a French Fry cutting machine!! Weird choices I know!! Good grief!!

We don't do gifts for each other. Let's face it, after 43 years of marriage what do you get each other that you don't already have!

When the kids were younger we did the big present for the family, like a new tv or something. Of course the kids all got their usual gifts.

Now we just buy for the kids, still (hahaha) and the grandchildren. We will usually buy something small for each other. We really rather buy for the family. I like seeing them open gifts! Besides, Christmas is all about the kids! it doesn't matter if they have 2 legs or 4!!

Please tell me that's sarcasm girl! lol And he paid WAY too much for that stupid thing! One of the first times I cooked in it something stuck to the bottom of it that I never could get off! Not one of my favorite gifts. Haha.

I always just ask DH what he wants. He generally wants art books, or a machine(tattoo) by so and so, some fancy art supplies he won't order normally, ect. Last year I got him a cast iron drafting table from 1903. It's his favorite gift I have ever gotten him. That was actually a surprise! He always asks me too. I really like being taken shopping and spoiled. That's also my favorite b day present!

Ohhh an artist is he?!

What does he do?
