My husband and I decided not to give each other gifts this Christmas but to book a cruise instead. We placed a deposit earlier on a cruise for next December instead on the new HAL ship, The Honingsdam. My husband did surprise me with a piece of jewelry anyway. He just couldn't resist,l he said.

Our 1st cruise in 2008 was paid for by my non husbands mother.
I go to my aunt and uncles ever other Saturday for dinner and sometimes in between so In 2013, I paid it forward to them. I got a really good bonus at work and cashed in a weeks worth of vacation time and I paid for them to go with us. It felt so good and the looks on their faces was priceless.

I gave my wife an Alaska cruise for our anniversary this year, but on the condition that she takes me with her

I love this idea! I've never been given a cruise before. I usually just gift myself . . . and my best friend. LOL! I'd definitely accept if someone gave me a cruise as a gift. :)

I would love to do that for my kids at some point. This year I did get each of them a Carnival gift card to put toward their final bill on our upcoming cruise.
Great idea!

This is the gift that my wife and I do every year for each other. It takes away the struggle to find the "perfect" gift for each other.
I tend to do cruises for my B-day gift to myself. Nothing better then a B-day at sea with b-day dinner in the Steak House.

We have been booking cruises in lieu of gifts for Christmas, Birthdays and Anniversaries for years. It is a beautiful thing.
