Dh’s b-day is next week and I love that there are always pea suggestions for men around this time of year because of Xmas. Any ideas?
He doesn’t need anything besides clothes which he hates to get or shop for, hasn’t asked for anything, and hasn’t commented on anything.
He likes tech stuff and enjoys running and biking. He likes to choose his own clothes / items but if I give him a gc he doesn’t get to the store. He really has little free time and is very busy with extra days at this time of year because so many people need days off. Days off he likes to spend with me and the kids. We are going away in 3 weeks and this week I saw a sale on luggage and I sent him in to get himself a new carry on — wth, why didn’t I get one for him. I totally wasn’t thinking. That would have been the best gift as his broke last year.

DH bought a motorcycle this summer. He wants/needs a riding jacket. I also am going to get him a windchime. He loves them. Hoping I can find one right now. Other than that, he needs jeans and tshirts.

I’m stuck on what to get my 19 yr old son. He is very, very picky with clothes. Nor does he need anything. I already have one gift card and some toiletries but really stuck.

I got him a pr of wireless earbuds, since I like mine so much. Also plan on getting him a new Kapo (spelling?) for his guitar.

Oh, I'm getting my 17yo DS a shave membership. Probably from Harry's. Maybe he'd like that?

What about an experience or a night out when you are on vacation? Especially if it’s a family vacation—a night away from the girls would be nice in the midst of it all.
Travel cubes for his suitcase?
A punch card or monthly club for a car wash in town? A full detailing of his car?
DH’s “big” gift is a key chain with disks of all the countries where he’s traveled. I haven’t received it yet, but I ordered from Elements of Old Soul on Etsy. You can customize it with name size of marathons, cities, states, countries, weekend bashes, etc. It wasn’t at all expensive, but I think DH will love it, especially as we travel more in the next few years while we are in Europe.

I ordered DS some Eagle Creek compression packing cubes. He likes to travel with just a carryon and my GF swears by them.

Cash. He is part-timing as cigar sommelier and wants to take some sort of class about some sort of fancy something or other so I'm just wrapping the money.
Neither of us needs anything so were going for experiences.

Other than that, he needs jeans and tshirts. Check out Grace Note Chimes. They are having a 35% off sale right now. While traveling, we came across their chimes in a wind chime store and decided we wanted to buy one when we returned home. Tip is to pay attention to size description as a small is still 36” long. Also, call your order in as they offered me a cheaper shipping option than on their website. www.gracenotes.com/ |

I bought him a 70” smart tv from Costco Thanksgiving weekend. And he just ordered himself a $1500 massage chair that he’s been eyeballing for the last year, so I’d say he’s set for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day and maybe even his birthday next year. 😳 😬 🤣

Husband is always borrowing office type things from me. So I made him a office supply box. I bought a cash box with a key and filled it with things like pencils, paper clips, binder clips, erasers, sharpies - you get the idea. There will also be other things in there like safety pins, pop-cycle sticks and other things he comes asking for. For my grandson, I purchased a organizer type box like what you put embroidery floss in, only this one has adjustable compartments. For his items I chose colorful and kid friendly shapes.

DH has wanted a GoPro for awhile, I bit the bullet and ordered one for him. Some other ideas for you: If he likes to run or bike outside, these Noxgear vests are great for visibility in low light or darkness. I have one and vehicles definitely give me a lot of room when I'm wearing it. A reflective beanie hatDoes he have a smart trainer for indoor training? DC Rainmaker has a well respected comparison of various trainers. How about a Swift subscription to gamify his indoor training? (edit: That link should say "Zwift" ... dang autocorrect) |

SO wanted a new ZAGG glass cover for his iPhone 11. It was on sale last week. So I ordered that for his birthday next week and thankfully it got here fast! Now I just need something for Christmas.
Maybe you could get a gift card for Best Buy or something tech related?

Oh, I'm getting my 17yo DS a shave membership. Probably from Harry's. Maybe he'd like that? What is a shave membership? I’ve done the sock a month club for Dh and he liked that. I wonder if i can get a shave membership in Canada - I’ve never heard of it. |

Thank you for all of the great ideas. He has packing cubes. He has such a fantastic reflective jacket that he gets stopped on bikes and runs and asked where he got it (mountain warehouse). The entire jacket is made out of reflective material. It’s a bit much for me. He isnt interested in experiences on this type of vacation.
Really, we do a lot when things pop up - show tix, concerts or vacations. We often book a vacation and say happy birthday to each other. A month or two late or early. I just want the kids to have something to give him day of. Last year we got him a set of tile trackers because he is always loosing his wallet or keys. He still lost his wallet 😮 again.

I wonder if i can get a shave membership in Canada - I’ve never heard of it. One is called Dollar Shave Club and one is called Harry’s. You get an initial razor set and then can set an autoship of refills based on shaving habits. |

My husband is so hard to buy for. He doesn’t really have any hobbies and doesn’t like to give gift ideas. My stepmom said that she was thinking about getting him a gift kit from a brewery or something.

A tshirt from qwertee.com
A travel mug with his name on it and a funny saying.
Some hobby stuff (he's into Warhammer, he writes a list).
Gourmet vegetarian marshmallows which are super expensive and he will scoff in 30 seconds, lol.
And I'm thinking about one of those marble run games but I'm not sure if it would be too childish? Some of them look like fun for adults as well.

I got him battery operated knee warmers (I guess cyclists use knee warmers to, though I got them because of the arthritis in his knees).
Was thinking about some Duluth tracking company Armachillo boxer briefs but haven’t decided for sure on that.

Then I got mine this year, now seven of us have it for ourselves and our dogs for our night walks and tunnel runs  |

battery operated knee warmers Fellow arthritis sufferer here wanting to know what you got and where to get it. We're having a major change in weather here tonight and I literally couldn't get out of the car when we got home from running errands. I'm sitting here with 3 blankets wrapped around my knees trying to warm them up. |
