Nothing. We stopped swapping money at Christmas and Valentine's years ago. We only do gifts at the 5 year birthdays and anniversaries.
It's wonderful. No gifting stress. Best thing we ever did.

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. This is what I got my partner. He will probably think it's dumb, but all my running friends love them. Do y’all use them to treat the muscles after a run? If so, is there a source video or book you can recommend and a massager? DH does a lot of long runs and bike rides so this might be perfect for him.

My DH is very into model railroading. He always sends me a list of really expensive stuff. I pick a couple and call it good. But I also like to surprise him somehow, and I found a patch on ebay he doesn't have in his extensive military patch collection. He'll love that. I also got him a license plate holder with the name of his favorite ship he served on. I think that will make him smile as well.

I don't have any videos other than one that a running friend posted on FB. If you go to Fleet Feet they sell them and will demo one for you. I would say if your husband is a distance runner he'd like one of these. I bought an off brand one off Amazon that got a lot of good reviews. I'm sure Amazon customers have posted videos. The one I bought comes with different heads to treat different parts of the body.

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 I am thinking of these as well...hard to decide which one. Have you received yours already? Ours came a few weeks ago! They are really nice, I’m excited to give them. Did you end up ordering any?

On Thanksgiving my brother shared a couple of screenshots from his meat thermometer that connects to his phone. So I snagged one for my husband: meater.com/

Husband bought himself a "computer" for his bike, so he did his own shopping. I also go him something to help stretch his neck when he gets headaches/migraines.
My boys were easy since they both are relatively new homeowners and need lots of things.

-new trail camera that goes to his iphone Ooooh, I like this idea! I'm going to need more info on this one. My son lives near a wildlife park (not sure of the exact kind) and they have a bunch of bighorn sheep that they watch. You can't drive in and have to walk or bike and he wants a camera better than his iPhone.

I don't have any videos... I bought an off brand one off Amazon that got a lot of good reviews. Sorry, I missed the question earlier dewryce , but my answer is essentially the same. My husband is not a runner. It's just for our plain old regular achy sore muscles. And cindyupnorth, I'd love a link to the trail cam you bought as well.

Main gift is bluetooth headphones. A topographic map of our state. He loves maps and this looks really cool. Where did you get the map?

We generally aim for consumables or experiences. This year experiences are a little hard to come by, so we're going with digital stuff.
Upgrading to Dropbox Family plan, NYT, WaPo and Atlantic Monthly subs. We're also continuing the Spotify Family we got DD last year. Probably going to drop Hulu though.

More of a stocking stuffer idea, but I got Dh the Cremo shaving cream recommended here a few years ago and he has used it ever since.

Just ordered DH a state park pass for the car. We love to hike, but haven't had a pass for a couple years now. We mainly hike in the fall, and the last few years either weather or other circumstances have prevented us from going out.

Thank you for all of the ideas. I trust that many of you have gotten ideas from others who have posted their ideas.
I have landed on the following items: Duluth Trading underwear, rest for his AR, ammo, Creed Irish Tweed cologne and a custom made solid wood chess board that will knock his socks off!

I saw this and LOL'd. My dh would think that is ridiculous! 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. I wouldn’t take it to heart too much, my DH bought himself that very thing “from Santa” last year! We have a lake cabin and a hunting cabin that both have wood burning fireplaces.

I bought the men's wardrobe capsule from GYPO, so I bought him an outfit from the capsule - jeans, sweater, and chambray shirt.

Thanks for the Man Crates recommendation! I ordered two for my husband--the Mount Rubsmore and BBQ Sauce Boss crates. I'm excited to give them to him!

From Muir Way. I feel it is good quality. We got the frame today. muir-way.com/Thank you! You can also check with your State Geological Survey. Most print maps on demand these days. Ours had so many old 7.5” quadrangle maps that they couldn’t even give them away.

My go-to gifts for dh are flashlights, knives, and rope. He always loves them and can never have enough.
DS is hard since he is a teenager and no longer interested in Legos. 😢 He’s a gamer, but mainly Nintendo, and they only have one new game he’s interested in. I would like to pick up a Playstation 5, but that’s been an impossible hellish experience.
Phone chargers are always great stocking stuffers.
