He got me a nice notebook and pencils (which our toddler promptly commandeered and demanded I draw a "cattie" on every page Hmm), a lovely blanket, and an overnight stay in a very nice hotel at the start of February - he has also sorted out childcare for that night already. I'll be 31 weeks pregnant at the time so will be very nice to relax and actually spend some quality time together.

I got him a watch.

Both pleased Smile

Nothing, we're on opposite sides of the world and have been for almost 2 years. He's coming over early next year so we said we'd do something to make up for it then

A gorgeous silver necklace
A bracelet with my birth stone in it

A very fluffy dressing gown
Some gel nail polishes

A laptop computer!! Truly a thoughtful gift as it will really help me with my job. I was totally surprised and very pleased. He also produced cheesy xmas t-shirts for us all on Christmas Eve - again I was surprised and delighted by the thought. A couple of practical gifts for the car and a box of chocs. The man drives me nuts a lot of the time but what can I say - he still possesses the ability to surprise and please me after many many years of marriage!!

Nothing yet as we haven't exchanged presents as he's working away...

But I have only asked for a fancy candle so will probably be getting just that! Xmas Blush

I love a good candle! Hopefully yours smells nice!

We don’t buy anything for each other. We don’t have much money so it all goes on presents for the kids. I don’t mind at all, it’s just nice to be off work & spending time together as a family.

I expect now there'll be loads of you along to tell me you're my age and older and have some Grin
