Christmas presents for significant others

[ufdale]

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.
