He asked for fleece slippers and fur-lined leather gloves. Pretty standard stuff.
My SIL asked for some barbells, a device to go with their Alexa home system, and some things for his fish tank.
My son asked for an air fryer and a fleece shirt.

I'm going to have a hard time topping DH's favorite gift from last year, a tiny pair of rounded tip scissors for trimming hairs from various places. He loves them.
This year he needs some cologne, socks and other practical things. And I think the cats will get him a "as seen on tv" Battery Daddy battery storage case. The drawer we keep the batteries in is always a mess and he watches the commercials for it with great interest.
I would like to get him something special, but inspiration hasn't struck yet. There's still time. He's the only person I am shopping for this year.

I got DH a large marble board for rolling out dough.
His other gifts include: a North Dakota hunting license, a Nebraska hunting license, a federal Duck stamp, and 2 or 3 duck hunting trips this fall (he's on his second and might do a third in a couple of weeks, and who knows possibly a 4th over the holidays...)

Last year DH and I were on vacation in Las Vegas for Christmas so we decided to buy a lot smaller gifts and open some each day. We put everything in these bags. . Each evening when we came home from a dinner and show we’d bring out the bags and select something to give each other. It was so fun we often didn’t wait to get out of our fancy duds! After we opened them we displayed them on the dresser under the TV. It was so fun we decided to make it a tradition! But since we are at home I went a little bigger with the gifts and at least one of them won’t fit in the bag. This year, each day he will get one of these categories: Captain America
- Nomad cap
- Masks
- Silver emblem for car
- Keychain (which is a lot bigger than I thought it would be so he may not want to use it.)
Steelers
- Sweatshirt
- Beach towel for his open water swims with his TRI team. He’s cool about carrying our regular, fairly girly beach towels, but thought he might like this better.
- Cap
- Masks
Misc Crap Day
- A few small items for our Dicken’s Village Collection
- This cool multi tool, I think a pea found it.
- A handful of the Marvel blu-rays
- “Yet Despite the Look on my Face You are Still Talking T-Shirt” Just found this and it’s perfect! I have bipolar disorder and when I am manic and get going...the poor man. He’s really lovely about it and never says anything, but I know this is exactly what he’s thinking! The only time I hear a peep from him is when I tell him I think I’m beginning a manic cycle and he says, in his very dry way, “you haven’t stopped talking for 3 days.” Dude...why don’t you say something! Because at that point I am completely unaware.
- This 2020 ornament.
Triathlon Stuff
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day
- Bose Sound Bar for his workout room

I just ordered a tile tracker from Target that is ready for me to curbside pick up tomorrow. I just need to purchase more stick on thingys. We really only do stocking stuffer type things with maybe one gift to each other. My husband loves gadgets, so I'm hoping he'll like this idea, besides I'm tried of him asking "Where's my tablet?" or "Where's my eyeglass case?". I may need a lot of those stick on thingys.

Which one did you get? We have tiles, but they’re so big! I’d love something smaller that can attach to his glasses.

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. This is on DH’s list too.

It's great for splitting wood for a fire pit or a fireplace. It isn't girly or wimpy; its a handy gadget.

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. Omg thank you for this!! I found something for all 4 of the men in my life.

We’ve already given that side of the family their gifts (pats self on back ) but I will add it to her list.

And the Kindling Cracker was invented by a 13 year old girl who is now 20. I wish I had a use for one, we have gas logs. What an awesome story and worldwide distribution.

Nothing! My DH always seems to go on a buying spree right before Christmas every year, so I assume he’s ordered everything he wants.

My boys are makers and chefs and one of the boys was looking for a watch making kit. DH loved the knife making kits and the sausage making kit. One stop shopping!

Thanks for that. 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. I bought a kindling cracker for my husband a few years ago and he loves it! He loves a fire, and is always chopping wood and considers this a must-have accessory. I didn’t realize it was invented by a teenager until I saw it on Mighty Girl 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. I love Oberon designs. Sooo well made. I have a few of their Kindle covers.

another idea is a blow up solar lantern/phone charger ..luminaid lantern..
we have lots of blow up solar lanterns.. they are the best!! great for camping or emergencies.
and they last a long long time.
my husband and I are doing a major remodeling.. so we spending plenty of money.. no gifts.

I usually get dh’s gift wrapped in the duct tape. It’s an additional $10 but worth it. The first year I did it for fun and it was hilarious. All these nicely wrapped presents under the tree plus a crate covered in duct tape. Now he sort of expects it but it’s still entertaining to watch him open it.

He and DS have been watching Forged In Fire and Mancrates has a knife making kit! I ordered that so fast my keyboard was smoking!

We've agreed on no gifts. We pretty much but what we want when we want it. DH's buying himself a router he's been eyeing. He's just wondering when to buy it.

Oh those man crates have a lot of variety. Some really cool ideas. I love the rc car one snd wonder if our son would like it but it’s sold out. The bacon one is tempting for my husband. So many really good ideas.

Haven't read all the replies, but did you ask him?
Dh is asking for some Star Wars Lego sets (ones that build the face/helmet) and new wireless Sony headphones.
