WHAT ARE U GETTING????...

Your spouse or special other for Christmas?
I have no clue what to get Gordo. I think I found one thing he'd like. And I need to go through his mother because you just can't hide anything from the man. I mean, just because I went through all kinds of acrobatics to see if I could find my gifts in the basement, doesn't give him the right to snoop. 
Anyway, Any Ideas?

What does he do for hobbies? Does he like power tools (hell, don't they all )
One year I gave Bill a staple gun for Christmas because I wanted to cover the dining room chairs.
Tickets to a sporting even? Dinner for two at some nice place? Detailing for his car?
Just some random thoughts.

Well he's an avid reader, as am I, but I don't think we could fit another book in this house and he likes fortune magazine and business week - do you think getting him a subscription to both would be tacky? And he's a big boxing fan, as am I. I think I know about a boxing gift. He met Muhammad Ali when he was young and spent 2 days with him. He has a scrapbook and everything - him sparring with him and what not and he's always wanted the poster of Ali boxing underwater? Have you guys ever seen it? Posters.com doesn't have it...hmmm...

here is the link to the underwater boxing poster.
If he likes to read, does he like to hear books on cd? or IPod or something like that?
My kids and husband love movies, so I end up getting alot of those especially this Christmas where we dont have a lot of extra money.

Thanks T. He has mentioned an interest in books on CD, maybe I could look into that. Oh and thanks for the link. They don't frame here though - posters.com has that option. Anyway, I can always buy the frame and frame it myself.
Thanks!

For the past couple years we've agreed not to get each other anything for Christmas. I've stuck to that deal, but that doesn't mean the kids & Santa arn't giving him anything either.
On that note, a Columbia winter jacket, slippers, a buck fireplace bellow, shower shaving mirror, Fatherhood T-shirt, coffeemaker, bone/meat saw and one other thing I can't remember.

Loca! Why didn't you tell me.
My ex-brother in-law is a boxing trainer. He knows a lot of people so maybe if not that poster.. maybe he can come up with something else in the realm of boxing that is special.
And then I could deliver it. Yea, yea, that's the ticket. I could deliver it in person.
Let's see if this can work out..

Darryl said he was thinking of getting me a gun, but he knew that it wouldn't be long before these words came outta my mouth: "Honestly Officer, I thought it was an intruder!"
I have no idea what to get him, but Hannah had a really cool idea, since he is so hard to buy for. One thing about D, is that he has a very generous spirit when it comes to people in need.
So for Christmas, she bought, in his name, 2 chicks (as in chickens) for a family in (can't remember what country she told me). I thought that was pretty cool!

Thanks for clearing that up Pat. Actually, we have gotten all the stuff up so I will try to get pics of everything next week.
For Linda........I asked Ruthie if she wanted a cabana boy for Christmas and she asked why would she want to drive a Chevrolet when she lives with and drives a Ferrari?
I'm just saying..........
