Just picked up Michael J Fox's new biography for my step dad. Amazon currently (11/23) has a coupon on it.

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. Thanks for this idea!!! Just ordered one for my husband for Christmas!!!!

Minnesota Peas - the U of M is coming out with a new retro jersey next month to celebrate 100 years of hockey. I am buying those for DH and DS. I doubt they'll get much else, as I am sure they will be expensive!

Husband: I have a few shirts that I got him so far, and he likes a few of the new Reverse Retro jerseys that the NHL released, but he doesn't wear them around the house and doesn't wear jerseys to games as much anymore, so I'm not sure what else I'll get him. We've talked about getting a vacuum and portable washing machine for each other for Christmas, so it may wind up being one of those.
Dad: Impossible to shop for. I got him some BruMate things a few years ago and Eric Idle's biography last year; I might pick up a book for him about national parks this year since he's climbed Half Dome.
Brother: Also difficult to shop for. Last year, he got some new pants. This year, I offered to pick up some local to me beer that he liked at our cousin's wedding.
Brother-in-Law: Last year, we got him a new shirt, some batteries, and a Taco Bell gift card. This year? Who knows.

I remember that I did get my husband one of those percussion massagers when I caught it on an Amazon deal. I put it in the gift closet so long ago, I had forgotten about it.

So far:
- Organizer for the bed of his pickup - Screaming goat for his desk at work - Oil diffuser (yes, he actually asked for this, he loves mine at home lol) - Lightsaber wall mount (he says the lightsaber he made at Disney is going on the wall in the bedroom. Um. No.) - 3 iphone charger cords so he stops stealing mine - A handheld video game thing that plays a few vintage games - Cologne
Question though! Anyone have suggestions on hand sanitizer that "doesn't smell like ass" and won't dry his hands out? Trying to find something good, he goes through it like crazy when he is on duty. So the little B&BW bottles won't cut it.

If you are near a Trader Joe’s, they have spray bottle hand sanitizers that are citrus scented. I like the scent and it doesn’t linger like the BBW or some other brands. I think due to the alcohol in the sanitizer, they are all drying to the skin. Maybe you could pair the sanitizer with some hand lotion?

DH is getting $$$ for his guitar fund. He can use it towards lessons or put it toward getting some work done on one of his guitars. I also bought him the Costco Patio string lights for our back patio.
DS is getting books, various gift cards, a LEGO dinosaur set that I learned about on another thread here and a few other fun things.
For my FiL, we will get him a gift card to his favorite hardware store.

We don’t go mad. We usually just exchange token gifts.
I have bought Him Indoors a share in a racehorse (cost £59.00). It is a fundraising campaign to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease. It is in support of Rugby League player, Rob Burrows who has been stricken by this dreadful, cruel disease. He is local (to us) and is often on the telly. His deterioration has been very noticeable in the last three months. It is a tragedy. He wore a no seven shirt, hence the name of the horse, Burrows Seven.

Thank you for these ideas. I just purchased the whiskey smoker and the aging bullets. They will go perfect with the rest of his gifts,a decanter and glasses & ball ice tray. Thank you again!

This might finally be the year DH gets his bandsaw. Although, he has requested I not pick it out. So, there will be no surprise.
Oldest DS really needs a professional wardrobe since, if things go according to plan, he will finally start his new job/career in January. So it will probably be that. But it isn't a very "fun" gift.
The other two boys DH is shopping for.
I suck at gift giving.

I purchased the "Fishermans Spice" set and the Set of hot spices from the Spice House.
They had a promotion and shipped it free to Canada and no duty was charged!

My DH would prefer nothing. Really. Nothing. If pressured, he will say socks and coffee. So that's what he usually gets from the kids.
This year I read a story about a similar DH, on FB. And so I am giving him a plain piece of paper in an envelope on the tree, and inside it will tell him what charitable gift/donation I have done instead of buying him anything. I *think* he will love it. And what I'm buying instead is gifts for kids from a local group.

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. The tiles you have. I see him using these on some of his larger items and yes, I'd love tile to come out with more of a true sticker.

This would be a good DH present, but this year we are buying them as a family/friend gift... They showed up on my FB feed as a sponsored ad....They are called Metal Birds....They are laser cut metal birds, and can be hammered into a fence post, a deck post, or a tree. They are really pretty! We ordered the woodpecker and a blue jay

Old Navy has spray sanitizer up front near the registers that smells good and the containers are pretty big. DH bought the grapefruit and the lemon/coconut to keep in his car since he is in and out of people’s houses for work.

Another idea I got recently from my husband: he's worried his hair is thinning, so he wants to try one of those hair growth shampoos. He also keeps asking me to look for Coco Wheats at the store, so that will be a fun thing to get him.
