OK.....now, what did you give your spouse, SO, whatever, for Christmas?

[Blue Fire]

I gave Greta a cultured pearl necklace and matching ear rings. Living with me, she's definitely earned them!

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. I bought a sort of scented deodorizer ball for my sister's Kendo armor bag.

With my last bit of money. No one else gets anything from me this year.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. a $50 Ebay gift card,

so he can buy wrestling action figures that he wants :D

He's happy :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. Bushwhackers! Bushwhackers!

:bounce:

[Heidi]

3. Ginger and I gave CMW an 8 GB iPod Touch.

He is pleased. :)

(Edited to add: And it keeps him out from under our feet. :rofl: )

[LeftCoast]

16. He'll love it

I got one last month for my birthday.

:hi:

[Heidi]

19. I gave it to him early.

He's already used it to post at DU. :rofl: :spray:

[LeftCoast]

20. I was amazed at how easy it is to surf with

When we were traveling, Jim was booting up the laptop to surf. He looked over at me and I reached into my pocket, pushed the on button on my iPod and started to surf. He was up and running a couple of minutes later looking a bit sour. LOL

[Heidi]

21. Show-off!

:rofl: :spray:

CMW's mom lives within range of our wireless lane, so he took his Touch up to her place to show off to her. :rofl:

[LeftCoast]

22. LOL - I love how the iPod deals with networks

It can remember them so the next time you go there it just connects. Mine knows wireless spots all over SF and Yosemite now. LOL

[Heidi]

23. CMW, wiley tech-boy that he is,

has worked magic on his. It now has all of the iPhone apps enabled. :eyes:

[LeftCoast]

24. Ooo. I've been too skeered to do that

I hope he gives a full report some time. I'd love to know how it works.

[Heidi]

26. I'll ask him to send you a PM about it.

When he got everything working, he about wet himself with sense of accomplishment. :rofl:

[LeftCoast]

27. That would be too cool!

:)

[Nickster]

34. If you go to www.jailbreakme.com, it pretty much does the whole process for you automatically. You

do that from the mobile browser on the ipod. The website does the hack and then fixes the security hole that lets you do the hack in the first place. It's really easy to do, less than 5 minutes and you're good to go. If you don't like it, you go back to iTunes and just click on the restore button and it puts you back to the factory settings.

[Droopy]

4. Seeing as how I'm a godless single person

I didn't get her a damn thing.

[leeroysphitz]

6. Then send me something.

I'd hate for you to feel left out. :)

[Blue Fire]

8. Me, too!

Who says ya can't swing both ways?? ;-)

[leeroysphitz]

5. Teresa will get a nice fuzzy electric blanket, a George Foreman Grill,

a 2gb thumb drive for school. Nothing romantic this year but some years are different than others.

[Kat45]

9. a cashmere scarf, a book, and a

framed portrait picture of me.

[fizzgig]

10. a plane ticket to see me

i'd post the rest, but he might read it ;)

[Der Blaue Engel]

11. This guy

[LeftCoast]

17. That looks cool, but what the hell is it?

:)

[Der Blaue Engel]

44. It's Roboquad

...a four-legged, spider-like robot with unprecedented mobility and awareness. The Roboquad is designed with advanced sensory awareness, helping it react quickly to the surrounding environment and pursue a moving object in any direction, including forward, backwards, and sideways. When an object such as a cat or a remote control car passes, the robot's head swivels around so it can monitor its environment without moving. After it sweeps the room with a tightly focused infrared beam, it makes rapid decisions about how to react to its environment. Once it identifies the object--the sensitive infrared detector can see objects as far as 13 feet away while also identifying their size and spatial details--the Roboquad heads out in one of three speeds, navigating through doorways and detecting table edges in the process. Your cat will meow in amazement, as will your guests.

I'm looking forward to my cat meowing in amazement. :D

[elshiva]

18. And two cats that are possessed by the DEVIL!

Brilliant. ;)

[Der Blaue Engel]

43. Yes, and the robot chases the cats

It's a win-win situation. :D

[Thirtieschild]

12. Couldn't think of any surprises this year

So he's getting a pair of Minnitonka mocassins and four Flamenco CDs. I always try for a surprise - last year made him a batik pillocase for his king=size pillow. After 51 Christmases together I'm flat-lining ogiginal thinking. Of course some times it can get too original. Our first Christmas together, six weeks before the wedding, I got a .22 rifle with a carved stock and work on the metal parts. Just what every bride needs. My consolation was that I wasn't going to he stood up at the altar. After all, I came wit the gun he'd lusted after since childhood.

[Blue Fire]

13. Ummm.....will you marry me next?

Sounds like a damned nice rifle! :bounce:

[Pushed To The Left]

14. A $75 Lane Bryant giftcard, a $75 Torrid giftcard, and a nail treatment kit that one of the mall

kiosk people sold me. She seemed to like everything!

[Inchworm]

:wow:

31. No, later. While I was in the hospital...

He was a real sweatheart. :puke:

[kedrys]

32. A hand-held percussion massager with infrared heat

Get your minds out of the gutter, you pervs. :P

Works really well too - I actually managed to get my calves unknotted.

[hippywife]

33. I went back to bed this morning.

Not for any hanky panky, mind you. I'm just an early riser. I wake up after only 6 hours of sleep. It's like "Boom!" - six hours are up and so am I! He always wishes I would come back to bed, especially when it's cold, so we can snuggle. This morning, I got up at 4 a.m. and then went back up around 5:30 and snuggled back in with him and stayed there until 7:30. That was his present.

(We don't exchange Christmas gifts.)

[eyesroll]

35. I got my SO a certificate for accupuncture/massage.

He's taking me to the restaurant supply store to pick out some new kitchen stuff. :bounce:

[knitter4democracy]

36. I got him a nice watch, Colbert's book, and some shirts.

He was thinking out loud that maybe wearing a watch would keep him more on schedule at work, and I found a nice-looking one on Overstock for $40. I got the Colbert book when it was on sale at B&N and the shirts on major sale at Steve and Barry's. He'd been wanting new t-shirts for around the house (which means I get to take the older, ratty ones to Goodwill!) and needing a new work shirt.

He got me my new perfume. Yay! :)

[China_cat]

37. Not for christmas...for his birthday yesterday

a long lens for his new camera. The one he got for mother's day.

[yellowdogintexas]

38. the complete Jeeves and Wooster BBC set with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie,

the 2008 Caving International Calendar, full of pretty pictures, the Heroes of MIght and Magic V 2nd expansion pack, the Hallmark Lionel train miniature of the Freedom Train, enging observation car and sleeping car..(His father rode the Freedom Train as a Marine) and a T shirt that says :

LIFE IS SIMPLE:

Eat. Sleep. Cave.

[Marrah_G]

50. A 3.5 foot Candlabra with pumkin spice pillar candles on it.

It's cast Iron with wood inlaid. Very cool looking. He loved it.

[NewWaveChick1981]

51. Here's what I got my husband:

A vintage action figure he'd wanted for a very, very long time. He'd been agonizing over it (it was listed with an online antiques store), and I bought it out from under him. He bitched about "some asshole" buying it out from under him until he opened the box yesterday. :P I said, "'Some asshole' turned out to be your wife." :rofl: He loved it! I also got him a cordless drill and cordless screwdriver, which he requested. :)

[LeftyMom]
