Apart from that I literally spend my money on weed, cigs and fuel haha No harm in spoiling the ones I love with the cash left over.

I don't see the problem in spoling kids at christmas, obviously that's ballanced with not making them a spolit brat but I will if I'm able.

It's all open to interpretation, everyone has different views on the subject as with anything. Jules is entitled to his opinion, though I'm sure most, finances permitting would also spoil their kids at Christmas. Like I said, they're only young once, there's time for learning lifes lessons the rest of the year.

We decided we would go halves on a new tv so only got little bits, DVDs, books, bath crap, boots, frangelico and jewellery. Her birthday is 2 weeks later so I'll just split it up and she can have half and half. Might get one of those electric drum kits for her as she has always wanted one.

I've got her a new laptop, a Ted Baker purse, some Ghost perfume and a dressing gown.
I'm getting a private plate and trying my luck on a Superdry coat.

If people would like to see however, it would likely be Christmas eve when it's all set out ready for morning. Expensive haul this year really since she's got an iPad mini too 
I like to see the stash!

Fuck spending a fortune on each other when we have a shared income anyway.
Bought each other a week in the snow in Canazei.
Just so there's something under the tree I've gotten her a pair of earrings she has to put together her self (what I'd like to think of as women's LEGO), which is all the rage over here this year. Will get her some perfume as well.

Sorry, I bought them at a local store.
It's not even a brand, the store just has various parts and you pick them out to make your own design.

Sorry to not be of more help. Could probably find something similar in most arts and crafts stores.
It's this type of earring:
