Haha my brother is always doing stuff like that with presents... a couple years ago he got my parents a satellite dish with two recievers. He wrapped the two remotes in socks and wrapped them up and they opened those. My dad was like "Alright! A new remote!" It was so funny until my brother told them to look under their chairs

If your bf is anything like my hubby, then he wants exactly what's on his list!!!! My hubby and I simply tell each other exactly what we want for Christmas...or even better...we go buy it ourselves and give it to the other person and say, "Hey, this is what you're getting me for Christmas."

If I were you, I would definately get your BF something off his list and then maybe get him some other small things as surprises.

My problem is I can't afford anything on his list! It's all like, digital video camera, or expensive parts for his bike that I don't even know what they are! He also told me if I'm getting something from the list to call his parents to make sure they aren't getting it too... I think I would rather get him something from me and my head than something he put in my head! Plus, I know he wants to try this place out, he suggested we try it out together when I move there (in 2 weeks!!) and it's definitely not something he would have thought of when making a christmas list.
... But now I might be having second thoughts...

What about calling his parents and ask him if they want to go in with you and you all get him one big thing off his list. That way, he is still getting something he wants, yet you aren't having to put out a whole lot of money for it. You and his parents can split it. Then get him something else small that is a surprise that you know he'll like....like a gift certificate to the place you're talking about or something like that.

His parents live hours away, I would never see them before Christmas. He told me it doesn't matter what I get him, and it's just the thought that counts. I guess I want him to think I've actually thought about it instead of just picking something from his list. I know he thought of what to get me all by himself and I can't wait for the surprise.

My S.O. hasn't even made a list yet. I told him he better get with it or he's just getting a gift card. All he said was...."where from?"....LMAO He or I neither one want or need anything really. I told my Mom I could use an assortment of thread for my sewing, but that's all I could think of.

My Mom hands out the exact same list to everyone so she'll make sure she gets what is on her list. It's up to us to call and find out what everyone else is getting her so we don't get her the same thing.

I always tell my husband exactly what I want and he never gets me any of them. But, I think this year he's finally listened. I ask him and it's ALWAYS..."I don't know." So, a couple of shirts, a laser leveler and some shoes. That's all I can think of so far.
