What I like to do is see what they like at the end of August and kind of start taking notes on my cellphone. That way I have a decent list to pick from come Christmas if I need it. Think of something of significance that you two have done together. Places you've been, things you've done, that sort of thing. Even if it's just getting a movie you guys saw together and making a movie night out of it. Basket with a new blanket, some popcorn, said movie, and that way you guys can have a night to yourself. Something like that.
The girlfriend this year is getting a Starbucks mug she wanted, Dwight Schrute bobblehead and a
tee shirt she wanted earlier, but couldn't afford. I'm also helping her pay for her flight back home with me. Last year I went and got her a nice white gold diamond pendant.
I really don't know what to ask for myself. I feel bad if I ask for a videogame or something, but I also have most of what I need. The only real thing I'd love is for another hour in a day, or maybe a bit of money. A nice dress shirt and tie from the parents, and I think my sister got me the Flames Greatest Playoff Games DVD set.
Temporary_User, maybe look for some noise cancelling headphones when they need a few moments to themselves? Or maybe a gift certificate to the Keg or something, and then you can watch the baby for the night?
Hope that helps you guys out...
