lol Valkyrie it's not cutesy either.

This is as far different from knitting the average dude a scarf as is humanly possible - and it sounds like a pretty solid gift, too, but surely you can see the difference?

It's not similar to knitting, but it's very similar to a scrapbook. Especially since it's cronological and it covers vacations and birthday and whatnot.

No way. A photo album made by a professional photographer is WAY different from a scrapbook.

Naw, scrapbooking involves paper cutouts and cutesy stickers. I would put this more on par with a photo album, but cooler.
This year, the husband is getting an air compressor and clothes. Nothing says I love you like power tools. Though, the 12 beers of Christmas is a damn good idea.

I love to start traditions. The bf loves coffee (ok he's obsessed) and I've gotten him a coffee ornament every year. Starbucks has recently started making some cool ones.
Also for the parents and the bf (who's also at UF) I get them a gator ornament for every year I'm at UF. When I go off to grad school they'll get a different ornament from that school too.
My dad gets me fancy chihuahua ornaments too.
Ehh while that new purse might be nice, it's the gifts that mean something (or that have a great inside joke to go with) that are the best.

I think I am going to start the 12 beers of Christmas for myself.

I think that gifts should always be something that the person would like to have but won't buy for themselves. I help the kids buy something for my ex and when I asked him what he might want, he said "Dockers". Come on now. He has 18 pairs of Dockers because he wears them to work everyday. Can't he think of something that kids might enjoy picking out besides the same pants he wears every day in one of the two colors that he will wear (khaki and navy)???? When I said that to him, he says "Well, I ordered a book from Borders, if you want to pick that up for me, that would be good". Why do I bother? Why not just give him cash? Hand him back his child support check that week or something? Ugh.

Power tools are great, but only if the guy (or girl) really loves them. This year I got Mr. Pi Phi a cordless drill. He's been wanting a good one for a long time (as the one he had before was a piece of crap). He was really excited about getting it.
I agree with the 12 beers of Christmas too. I know Mr. Pi Phi would love that as well.

Mine aren't creative, but this year I got the hubby a TomTom navigation system (in June... he needed it, and we LOVE that thing) and 9th row seats to Dane Cook next week (he has no idea). We haven't done much the past few Christmases, so I decided to spoil him this year. And I'm excited to see Dane Cook, too, so it's a good present to myself as well
