I just got her an iPad Air 2. It's her first iPad.

Additionally I hope she doesn't break it. She keeps her backups in a heart shaped flash drive around her neck.

Probably pokemon AS, she really loves those games, I'm open for suggestions though. She loves Spyro, Pokemon, horses, holiday wimsy things, and most cartoons. Her favorite game series us the legend of Zelda.

Boyfriend is getting a Wii U. I already told him though because I didn't want him to go out and buy one for himself.

My wife (then fiance) did that for me two years ago, on launch day. The night before, we were both like, "Uh...yeah. So I have something to do in the morning. See you in the afternoon." I ended up getting the regular one, and she got the deluxe, so we returned mine.

I was also going to surprise her with an Amazon Echo this year, but when it got announced, she was all, "You'd better not buy that."

Last year I got her a set of UGG Gloves.This year I'm getting her one of the newest Samsung Galaxy tablets. So at this rate I'll be buying her a new Mercedes for Christmas in a few years, lol.

She's getting me an XBone, and she lets me put it in her butt. So I can't complain :)

For the past two years she wanted some Gucci bag for Christmas and I kept putting off getting one. Now she stepped her game up and has some LV bag that she wants instead. I figure I'll probably get it since I slept on the getting the other one she wanted. I'll probably also get her a bottle of D&G Light Blue and some case she wants for her 6+ and be done with the holiday.

I got her Ocaraina of Time 3D and an adorable Yoshi plush since she really doesn't want me spending a decent amount of money on her since it's fairly early into things.

at last, for christ's sake
a pair of Stuart Weitzman sandals (which look incredibly sexy, and thank god she has nice feet and ankles) and Alexander McQueen Puma Union Jack leather sneakers, which look awesome...heck I could wear them if they weren't so tiny

For the secret Santa, I'd say you Can't go wring with a mani/pedi gift certificate. If she don't like it, she can always regift it herself worse case scenario

Looks great. I told my GF about it and she's determined to make one, but I don't think she's ever really worked with clay.

I think I'm all finished with shopping so far. The results:

6-pod AeroGarden
Hyrule Historia
Hyrule map puzzle
Legend of Zelda animated series DVD
Funko Pop Dancing Groot and Rocket Raccoon bobblehead
Ukulele tuner
Stocking full of nice chocolates and various ginger candies
12 oz of honey tincture

Well, I wouldn't call her my SO because I am 99% positive this isn't an exclusive relationship, but I got her a Nvidia Shield tablet. She's a broke recently-graduated college student and appeared to really, really want one. My friend told me I am a complete idiot for spending more than $20 on this girl, but hey, my shopping list was small this year.

Like usual, I'm not getting her anything for Xmas. By coincidence, I did order her an HP Stream 7 and all the fixins' yesterday, but the holiday had nothing to do with it.

My GF and I have been going hard at the Pokemon grind the last month or so, and since she just finished Black I got her a 3DS and Pokemon X.

She still has a bunch of her old SNES cartridges. Should've seen her eyes light up when I gave her this:

We don't wait for Christmas because we aren't religious and also don't care about the whole tradition thing, so she got it today.

I have to do Secret Santa for someone I barely know. The limit is $60. Its a girl.

Any idea?? :D What a pain.

Do you know anything about her? Does she drink? Experience-type gifts are always fun (like wine tasting). Or maybe a Gold Class Cinema or iPic voucher? A luxury cinema experience is pretty cool and would work for most people and there are these kinds of fancy dine in/drink theaters everywhere these days.

You can go really wrong with a mani/pedi. That toes the line of very girly-girly which isn't the thing for a lot of people. I know I'd hate to get something like that. ^_^

Thanks! It wasn't too hard, to be honest. The only tough part was putting it together because anything you do squishes the shape of the clay so you kind of have to overcompensate first (make everything bulky) or else you'll lose the fine details when you're assembling it. If she needs any tips, I'd be happy to help.

Your gift list looks pretty sweet too, btw. A nice spread of nerdly awesome and tasty treats*. :)

What is honey tincture? <--- sounds intriguing.

Err I know a bit about her. She is the missus cousin so have met her a few times. She used to work at a bar and is recently engaged so drinking is up there. Fresh uni grad as well (psych). That's not a bad idea with the gold class though! Same with the wine tasting. Her partner is doing the SS too, so I guess he would get 2x gifts in that case.

Got one day to decide so feel free to throw out any others! :)

Ended up getting her a Tiffany's bracelet, some pj's, a beach towel and a Zara gift card.

Kinda boring but she loves that stuff and that's all that counts I guess :)

Honey to make you feel funny.
Pot cooked into it.
She has endometriosis and my special peanut butter helps with the cramps, but she hates the taste. With this, she can just put some in her tea when it's that time. We don't smoke.
