What you want or getting for Xmas!!????!!!

[Redskins8588]

My birthday is this friday, the 17th, this year my wife combined my birthday gift and Christmas gift and got me a Bose home theater system the Lifestyle T20. I found all of this out yesterday when I came home and it was on my front porch. I spent last night hooking everything up, and tonight I can't wait to play COD...

Oh, I have to give her props on this, I would like to think that I have the best wife...

I got my wife a IRobot vacuum (roomba) for the carpets and an IRobot mop (scooba) for the hardwood floor. I hear they don't do the best job in the world but good enough to hold you off from vacuuming and mopping the old fashioned way for a good week or two. Right now with a puppy and two young kids at home the floors are constantly a wreck, she vacuums/sweeps/mops at least once a day.

And I want to see the dog react to the robot. That's got to be hilarious.

I put in a request for a sound dock for my IPod. This Sony one has wireless speakers, which definitely appeals. Sounded pretty good to me in the store.

Please post reviews of these as I'm thinking of doing the same thing... I was looking at prices, looks like $400+ for the one designed specifically for pets. And this after I spent $500 on a friggin' dyson when we got married.

I always end up getting myself whatever I want throughout the year, so at Xmas time, there's not too much to ask for that's at all realistic. Lowe's gift cards are always a safe bet. I'll probably treat myself to a weekend up at Camelback once we get some decent snow.

My buddy has that Ipod dock. It's solid, but the Bose dock is sick. I was pleasantly surprised last year when my mom and stepdad sprung this one on me. It's unreal. Close your eyes when it's on and you'd swear it was a huge sound system.

My wife and I decided this year that rather than spend a bunch of money buying gifts to exchange, we're going to jointly spend the money on some upgrades to our place. A new TV stand, dining room table, and bedroom set are going to be our X-mas gifts to each other.

She and her twin sister have their birthday on the 23rd (Thursday), so I've got some stuff lined up for them. The wife wants a gift card to Victoria's Secret and a pair of running shoes (easy enough) and my sis-in-law is a total tech geek, so she's easy to please with a quick trip to Best Buy.

All I asked for is a few Blu-Rays and a new beard-trimmer (love sporting the scruff during winter). I bought two new TV's and a new car this year, so I'm more focused on giving this holiday season.

Stop playing...she said "jump" and you said "high dear?" Mine is trying to get rid of my perfectly fine bachelor furniture and "we" both decided "we" would.

Actually, believe or not it was my idea. Her birthday is two days before Xmas, so she's already getting some gifts from me for that. We're looking to buy a house next fall, so we need to be upgrading/buying more furniture anyway. Honestly, I'm psyched to get a new TV stand. The one we're using now for a largest TV is too small. Looks silly in the living room. We're still renting, so I'm not going to wall-mount. Too much of a pain to fix when we move out.

Dogs hate regular vacuums, I hope that robot vac is durable!



That's a thoughtful gift, really is, but I hope it doesn't backfire on you. You know women and appliances for gifts...might want to pick up a $25 spa gift card as protection.

I asked her a while ago what she might want, and she said "ANYTHING TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER." Made me laugh. So I figure this qualifies. But you're right, I got a few Pandora charms for the kids to give to her, that should cover all bases.

what was supposed to be 6 days has turned into 6 weeks and counting of staying at my parents home.

i just want to wake up christmas morning in my new house. i dont care if the furniture isnt delivered or set up yet, i dont care if the direct tv isnt set up yet, i dont care if we have a christmas tree or not.

i will sit on a freakin box, drinking tap water from a plastic cup christmas morning as happy as i can be . . . just as long as it is in my new house and not my parents. i love my parents but no grown man should have to spend 6 weeks at their parents house.

ohh and my lady is probably getting me some PS3 games like red dead and assasin creed. are these games worth getting? im not a huge video game guy but i like playing a few hours a week.

ps - its always cool to read about what you guys do for your kids and wives. it makes my very near entrance into the "married with kids" stage of my life seem not so . .whats the right word.... so scary? idk, every time my lady starts talking marriage and kids (which is alot nowadays) i start giggling like a 10 yr old and get real red in the face.

If you like riding a pretend horse around for hours on end it is a hoot!

BTW- Anyone try the undead version of Red Dead?

Yeah, it's good. I'm kinda burned on RD in general, but it's worth the download.
