Sophie 2407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 11-29-02, 06:54 PM (EST) "A Romantic Christmas..." Hi All... To all Romantics, crafty people, creative minds and Christmas Lovers (that should cover just about everyone) ~ Some of you may remember a previous post by me asking for creative and cheap gift ideas. I got a lot of great responses and think that I'll be just fine in making gifts for my family and friends...but... My boyfriend ~ I am just having a really hard time trying to think of a way to make Christmas extra special for the two of us. He has "a plan" (very mysterious) for Christmas. I need to think of what to do for a gift for him. We are both very emotional and very in love. I also want to think of little ways to make Christmas special. I want this to be the most memorable Christmas he's had so far in his life. Any ideas guys? Romantic ideas, fun ideas, etc....Just let the Christmas ideas flow!!!   Top

Survivorchick 1161 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-29-02, 10:46 PM (EST) 3. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." One year I gave my husband one of those daily calenders - there are different ones available, a "word-a-day" or whatever. I bought one called "soulmates" so every day you flip a page and there is some quote about soulmates on it. The special thing though, it that I wrote "I love you because..." above the calender and on every day of the year, I had a reason why I love him. Some of them were goofy, some were sweet. On special dates (like the anniversary of our first kiss) I wrote "because you kissed me one year ago today" that kind of thing. It's simple and inexpensive, but has a lot of meaning behind it.   Top

Since "confessions" seem to be my thing tonight (winks at bar peeps)......yes...the Hummer IS a great idea! Nothing says "I love you" like a good Hummer!

Spidey 6259 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-30-02, 11:52 AM (EST) 9. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." One year my husband gave me a coupon book. Included things like a dinner party for me and my friends that he would cater, him taking one of my nights with the kids, breakfast in bed, etc. I was entitled to use them whenever I wanted throughout the year. He got really creative and it was an incredibly thoughtful gift. Come to think of it, he probably got a hummer out fo the deal too!   Top

Sophie 2407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 12-02-02, 12:42 PM (EST) 10. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." I like both the calendar and the coupon book ideas. But I need more ideas so I'm being a DAW and bumping my own thread...cause Friday afternoon is the worst possible time to post something. Any more ideas guys?   Top

Lisapooh 12664 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-02-02, 12:54 PM (EST) 12. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." You could make him something - bookends if he's a big reader, a built-for-two afghan for snuggling. Something from his favorite sports team if he's into that. One of the best presents a boy ever got me was an autographed book. He stood in line to get it and I cried like a baby. I used to put notes inside my boyfriend's cereal box -so they would pour out in the morning. He always loved that. Or dirty notes in his lunch box. I don't think the gesture has to be a big one to be memorable and romantic. I love SChick's idea. You could always do a cheap weekend away too. Or do your own. Give him a basket with bath salts, some champagne, chocolates and a couple of glasses - you could have a nice little bubble bath for two on Christmas Eve - that's a tradition to build on ifyouknowhwatImean.   Top

Sophie 2407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 12-02-02, 03:33 PM (EST) 16. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." I did consider the afghan and decided I would crochet one. So, boyfriend walked into my house to find me sitting, crocheting...got frustrated, threw the yarn and needle across the room. He ducked and came over. Sat down by me and said "You okay? What are you doing?" Still deciding if I'm going to give it another try or not.   Top

A tire pressure gage is a useful and appreciated gift as are duct tape, drill bits and nose hair trimmers...oh wait, you're still dating and actually still like each other. I'm with Supes...go for the Hummer. Snoocharoo   Top

Bucky Katt 3146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 12-02-02, 07:28 PM (EST) 17. "RE: A Romantic Christmas..." My only advice would be to find something involved with one of his own hobbies or activities he enjoys doing. That way it shows that you are thoughtful and that you are taking an interest in his life. One idea would be to get one of those picture frames that has space for three pictures in it. Put a picture of the two of you together in one spot, a poem or dried flowers in another spot, and something to remember your first date in the other spot - like a napkin from a restaurant or something like that. "I'll have you know, I rock!" BA   Top
