Hmmm... My list didn't turn out very well, did it? :/ How do you format it in order for it to 'list' properly? It looked right when I typed it... Is it an HTML thing or something? I'm hopless with this sort of thing, lol.

I'm not sure what happened to yours... I am hopeless too! Mine turned out just like i typed it... believe me, I don't know ANY html! I can read yours just fine though. I think its ok.

OMG! Do you know how long I sat here trying to think of stuff?! Been together 5 years and no idea what in the world he likes! He is pretty picky and doesnt buy much for himself unless its an expensive item once every few months. So most of it is just things he needs lol..If your "other" wouldnt get mad to get a package of boxers let me know cause he needs those too lol...he wears 'em until they have holes! Would be awesome if it got here by Fathers Day! Is there a Fathers Day swap on here? Thanks!

what is the spending limit? Just curious...this is a superb idea!

There isn't really a spending limit, as long as you get at least 3 and they need to be nice... not cheaply made, etc. Aim for hearts!
