    Something along the lines of the 12 days of Christmas.

    Doing something every day for the 12 leading up to Christmas day.

    Early gifts are gifts.timing these 12 'deeds' would be a spontaneous way to intrigue the relationship(hopefully in YOUR favor... lol)

    Starting with the little things,like dusting... etc

    Leading up to a really big one(your discretion)

    I like KBC's idea.

    We get to a point where we buy ourselves everything we need/want. I think giving the gift of your time with her is the best idea. Can you remember some things you did when you were dating? Recreate one or two of those dates.

    Also... Write her a letter. Tell her everything you love and admire about her. Put it on nice stationary and tie it up in a pretty ribbon. I guarantee she will treasure that more than any other gift you could buy.

    Super, can we change it to the 9 days of Christmas? That would givwe me fewer things to think of. ;)

    I like the letter idea, or could be done with a Power Point presentation or picture CD/DVDthat could be played back on the TV. Keep 'em coming folks... y'all are pretty sharp.

    My husband once gave me a "book" entitled Remember When... he went through 10 important things in our life and ended with our first get away weekend as husband and wife. He then told me he was going to recreate that weekend... 3 weekends later we were back at the same hotel we were at 2 years before.

    How about a game of "I love you more than..."?

    You could do something like the 12 days of Christmas, but with things like a small decorative bottle of sand, with a tag that says "I love you more than...." on the outside, and on the inside says, "all the grains of sand in all the world"

    Which could culminate in a diamond with "all the stars in the sky" on the inside.

    Synnen, we may butt heads from time to time but that's an outstanding idea. I even have a bottle of sand from a visit to the beach we took a few years back. Thanks.

    Just because we disagree doesn't mean I don't like you :)

    I hope you have lots of things you love her more than--because I think she'll love it.

    That's a great attitude, one I share :)

    I know she'll love it, but I don't want to share too many yet. 3 1/2 weeks after Christmas is her birthday followed by 3 1/2 weeks to Valentines Day. That's another reason I’m fishing for ideas.

    Here's what I think I’ll do, a game of ''I love you more than" beginning with "I love you more than...." on the outside, and on the inside says, "all the grains of sand in all the world" with the aforementioned beach sand in a small sandstone container from World Market. Packed in the sand will be this simple ring with the message, “cross my heart.”

    So how'd we do?

    Remington is making some really nice shotguns this year. How about ammo? Does she have a nice stockpile of ammo?

    I want uggs. Uggs are so comfy and I talked my boyfriend into wanting a pair. He always hated them but he tried on a co-workers and fell in love with them!! My boyfriend also wants movies.

    A good idea is a blu ray player though. They look amazing! And blu ray movies went down in price . You could also buy a ps3 he can game and watch blu rays!

    Good luck with your shopping!!

    Oh and I just thought, what about a new cell phone? Orry my 's' button is hard to hit... so it came up as 'he' not she. Dumb laptop I'm sorry.

    Not exactly the romantic touch I was looking for this Christmas mag, but if I were to buy her a gun it would be more like this SIG SAUER P232. Maybe for Valentines Day. ;)

    That is a sexy Sig. Nice boot gun.

    A cell phone is on the horizon here, our contract is up and I'm still pondering that Blackberry. On that note, who has a cell phone they love that's good for texting but isn't a smart phone?

    And by the way, I'd love an Xbox 360 so I can finally play Halo 3... but I'm actually asking for new dog beds (for my gift... really) for our two girls.
