I have absolutely zero ideas for my dh for Christmas this year. What are you giving to your husband, father, adult son? Help!

I just found this thing called a Kindling Cracker. It is on Amazon and it makes kindling from a log, using a hammer, rather than a hatchet. DH is gadgety and our house in the mountain is heated by a wood stove, so it would be useful.
Initially, I read about it on the Mighty Girl website. A girl from NZ invented it after watching her mom cut her finger on a hatchet while cutting kindling.

My dh has liked the man crates I’ve gotten him for the past couple of years. I’ll probably get him another one this year. www.mancrates.com/He also wants a new Nespresso machine. I’ve also ordered him a Wolfermann’s brunch meal for his birthday. He enjoyed that too.

I bought my DH a yodeling pickle as I refuse to buy him more Lego and he hasn’t got a yodeling pickle!

A really nice red Aloha shirt from Hilo Hatties.
DH had been wearing Aloha shirts on Friday for about six years now and has a pretty big collection.

It seems more like for city people, with small fire places. But then again, my dh is a logger...so

Thanks for that. Next time, I'll just keep my ideas to myself. Sorry!! I didn't mean it that way, but if your dh is used to cutting/splitting his own wood, he might think it's a waste? It seemed more for women? or smaller type wood is what I was getting at.

A topographic map of our state. He loves maps and this looks really cool. Also some flannel pants and thermal shirt to match. I am getting us all flannel pants and shirts. We have never done pajamas, so this is ad close as we are getting.
I am also looking at getting some “manly” soaps. They are totally unnecessary, but is a splurge so at something fun.

I’ve also ordered him a Wolfermann’s brunch meal for his birthday. He enjoyed that too. Those Man Crates look fun! If I hadn't already bought mine his gifts I would have purchased one of those. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for a cast iron pan from Matty Matheson - something I know he would never buy, plus the newest Matheson cookbook. Also, he need so dressy-casual shirts, so he got a few of those too.

New shaver, maybe some new cologne. He recently started liking 3/4 zip pullovers that are long sleeve and warm. We bought some big ticket items this year, so quiet Christmas this year.

We normally don't exchange gifts but my dh is getting one of these wallets. The company is local and been around for years and the products are outstanding. Just waiting to see if it is going on sale. I happen to notice his current one on his dresser and it is pretty ratty.

It’s his birthday tomorrow but today he decided to tell me he wants a sound bar and a smart watch. Beautiful timing so he’ll get those for Christmas 🤨😁

Mountain biking gloves for dh. He just dropped 4 pair on me that need mending. I am happy to mend a seam, or resew the velcro, but the ones he gave me to mend need full on darning. Not happening.
Ds20 is asking for the same thing he has asked for since his 9th Christmas, LEGO! He is actually getting a pair of airpod pros! We don't usually do such an expensive gift, and I'm not entirely sure what possessed me to do it, but I'm excited to give them because he will be so over the moon about them.

My DH is getting things for his bar. He’s really into whiskey, so I found him a smoking box so he can smoke his whiskey and whiskey glasses. I also found some smoke-infused wooden bullets that you can put inside your whiskey/vodka to infuse the smoke that way.
My oldest son is getting new boots and his Tech ring.
Youngest DS is getting car parts for his vintage Firebird he is restoring.

Next time, I'll just keep my ideas to myself. I for one love this! And DBF used to do lumberjack work, but because of his back and recent rotator cuff surgery can’t do as much now. He would love this for camping and firewood.

Not a thing. We don’t exchange gifts for any occasion and it is the best decision we ever made. There’s enough stress during the holidays so why add more?

Dh is so tough. I've ordered him a Thai spice kit from a Silk Road Spice. He loves to cook. I'll probably get him a BassPro gift card and I may get him some good long underwear/long sleeve shirts from Smart Wool or North Face. He's getting older and really appreciates some good warm clothing
