I've been eyeballing a pair of white gold and diamond earings for about a month now, and leaving not-so-subtle hints around here and there. Then I was in the jewllery store on Mon. and noticed they were gone! I'm not sure if I'm getting them, or some other lucky lady will end up with them under her tree. 
What is everyone else hoping for this year?  |

Good Luck! |

I have my eye on a Tiffany bracelet that I would love to receive (but very unlikely to happen). Otherwise, a gift certificate to a spa is always a perfect fit!  |

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you He made it clear it won't happen for like 5 years  . He's said it'll happen, but wanted to make sure we work out before taking a big step. Divorce isn't an option. But we've already been together 2 years  . Our first step will be moving in together soon. Good lord I hope he doesn't think I'm going to clean up after him and do his laundry (aka maid=mom). |

| My SO and I are so boring with our presents. For the past two years, we've bought eachother cell phones and basicially just given it to eachother right there and then. How romantic! Although I do love my Blackberry Pearl. I wish we could be fun and give eachother things that the other has no idea what they are and then actually OPEN them on Christmas. Last year I even gave him a list to choose from and he was still "so, what do you want for Christmas?". ACK!!! The best present he gave me was a few years back when he surprised me with a really nice watch. But he didn't give it to me in a sweet way, he was kinda mad at me and basically tossed it at me. We were both in the mall at the same time getting gifts for other family members and suddenly I had turned around and he was gone. I looked ALL over for him and couldn't find him. Went to sit in the chairs in the mall ... still didn't see him. So for about 30 minutes I had no idea where he'd gone (and that was before we both had cell phones), so by the time he DID wander over, I was MAD. By the time we got to the car, I was so cranky at him and he got cranky at me, that he basically said "this is what I was getting you, your present, Merry Christmas" and then tossed it at me. Haha. Good thing I wasn't too mad to throw it out the window, because I really do like the watch. That the first time I've had a present thrown at me. I wouldn't mind more being thrown at me if they are nice jewellery items! |

Either the right time or the right girl?
This X-mas the b/f's getting flying lessons. He's so interested in all those documents about WWII on the history channel and is so fascinated by the planes, especially the mustang which is his fav thought this was the closest thing. Unless anyone knows of how I can get him on a like a real flighter jet or something? |

Judging by the size and shape of the box under our tree, Santa Baby is bringing me some kind of bauble or jewelry, nice!! DH is lucky--- I'm easy to shop for---- anything sparkly or shiny will do!  |

Liz, my Mom would say to you "Sweetie, you must be part crow!" She'd say that to me every time I'd get distracted by something sparkly and shiny! Apparently crows like sparkly/shiny things! |

Wow, sounds like we're in similar boats! Except I'm probably more like your bf. But you never know, some guys will say they want to wait a really long time and then surprise you earlier. I'm not trying to get your hopes up, but some do it just to throw you off for the big surprise. I, on the other hand, have been with my bf for 2 years as well and am no where near ready to be married. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if it's because he's not "the one" or if it's because I really am afraid of marriage. I like the idea and all, but my biggest fear is getting married and then like 5 or so years down the road wanting out and feeling stuck. THAT is my worst nightmare. How does anyone really know that they will always be in love with someone? I change my mind too much!
Okay, sorry to hijack this thread and be such a downer. I really don't know what I want for Christmas. I like the spa idea though! I'm turning the big 3-0 in a couple of weeks and was thinking of doing that on my big day. |

TAM...I can understand your point of view. That would be my worst nightmare also. He just keeps saying..my mom keeps asking when I'll buy you a ring or when I'll ask you to marry me. I don't understand why he keeps telling me this when I NEVER EVER even bring up the topic.
I just found out that his way of bringing things up is saying that it won't happen and such and just trying to play it off. Such a girl way of doing it if you ask me |

Well, I'm hoping for that cute, super smart guy with the long, curly black hair who drives a silver, convertible Italian sportscar that I've had my eye on, but I'm not sure Santa can get him down my chimney and into my stocking!
A girl can always dream, right? |

Hmm... Aries, sounds to me like he could be trying to see what your reaction would be if he popped the question.
I got my DH a drum set. (Yes, I'm insane, but he's really good, and it means I get to listen to Led Zepplin. ) He's getting me either the Baby Q or the Light Stim and some Seven and Joe's jeans, which, of course, I had to try on, so I already have them. We didn't really surprise each other this year either. |

| Awww...Yen, how long have you been waiting. I really haven't been waiting. We've only been dating 2 years now and just decided to move in together soon. So I'm thinking another 2 years. I know I wanna be under 30 before I wed though. Is it bad that I want to look pretty and be young in my wedding gown and pics? That sounds so shallow as I was typing this. |

don't worry, you can look pretty and mature and gorgeous even if you get web after 30. if you are 26, you still have lots of time. |

We've been together for 8 years. I know...sounds like a long time. We started dating when I was 18 and he was 21. I know he'll ask eventually.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to look young and pretty. I already have ideas of how I want my wedding to be. |

The funny thing is that he always ask me what I want for my b-day or Christmas. I would always reply with "you know what I want".
Then he'd reply "other than that". *sighs* |

It's funny how you said that. He turns 30 in February. |

| Santa is going to bring me A Braun Silk Epil Epilator (and thanks to the many members who offered assistance with this decision) and the latest electronic toothbrush. My DH always tells me to buy what I like (which I do) but I also get a surprise from him as well so I don't know what that will be but can't wait to try the epilator. |
