text: what do you want for christmas from your spouse/partner? i don't think my husband picks up on hints for what i want for christmas...but if he did, i would want an electric skillet or a george foreman grill.  realistic and tangible item answers only please. my wife and i don't really buy for each other. we buy something big, such as a camcorder, then give each other cash and a day away from the kids to shop for ourselves. this way, both of us are happy. at the same time, most of our buying focus is on our kids and family.
