I admit it -- I took the easy way out this year -- the LL Bean Fly Fishing catalog just came yesterday, so I had him circle everything he wanted (I wanted him to circle a lot so I could have a lot of choices). His birthday is the month after, so I'm ordering it all together and saving it for then. Granted - fly fishing is an EXPENSIVE hobby, but - he is not sappy and sentimental in the least, and I figure that while fleece lined jeans are not so romantic (even at $50!!), is better than something he'll sit on a shelf and forget about. At least he'll really use his gift.
Another thing that I have really gotten addicted to (Carnation can attest to this!) is pottery painting. There are a million different stores all over - they sell bisque pieces of pottery (from plain tiles to big huge pasta bowls) and you buy them and paint them with pictures, stamps, stencils, whatever. You have to pay by the hour for studio time, but here its only like $3 so that's pretty good. I'm probably going to paint him a small fish plate or something that he can use when he's grilling out.
I'm just praying that he'll get me a watch and not something slutty from Vicky's again -even he laughed at that last outfit
-- he better get me 2 things since V-day will be 2 years since he proposed! You know I milk that for all its worth
