Is there already a thread on what to buy for an impossible to buy for husband?
He doesn't "want" anything except for a watch that is about $7,000  I've tried to find a similar style in a cheaper version and have been unsuccessful.
He isn't overly techie but already has an iPhone (work issued) and an iPad.
Dresses nicely daily for work, but is super picky so I usually don't buy him clothes.

Are there any "experience" gifts he might like? What are his hobbies? Lessons to learn/enhance a hobby are usually a good gift. My DH is also difficult to buy for. We both pretty much buy what we want throughout the year and it does make it more difficult at gift time. One of the gifts I have for DH is small, but he will really enjoy it I think. It's a Saucisson (salami) cave. I'll pick up a very nice artisinal salami to go with it. |

I bought my DH new leather gloves, a nice dressier scarf to go with his peacoat, books he wanted and some kind of tech cable he needs. Stocking gets consumables, hot sauces, new toiletries,fun socks and undies.

If you can afford it, buy the watch.

My DH is difficult to buy for, and he refuses to give any ideas as "that spoils all the fun!" <insert eye roll here>
He is getting a UE Boom wireless/bluetooth speaker, a nice pair of slippers, a Sur la Table gift card, and a mini drone. He has some goodies in his stocking as well, but that's what I got him. The UE Boom is usually a $200 speaker, but I found it on cyber Monday for $79, so I snagged it. I hope he likes it.
Of all the people I have to buy for, DH is the most difficult. He's not particularly picky, but he won't give me any ideas, and after 10 years together... I'm starting to run out of them!

He loves watches. I've bought him several over the years. He always wears a nice watch.
This is the current watch he loves Spectre Watch

Thanks I'll look at it. Was hoping to find one under $100, but may not be worth it if it's poor quality

My DH and I aren't giving big gifts to each other this year, but I got him a new sweater and his favorite chocolate. Ho hum gift. But I'm excited about his gift that I bought from our boys ... DH and my boys are all huge star wars fans so I bought him a star wars mug that has a vintage picture from when we were kids and an x-wing tshirt. He normally doesn't wear tshirts with pictures on them, but I think he will like this one ... the x-wing is his favorite fighter.

I have no idea what to get my husband. I did buy him two Under Armour shirts but I'm at a loss for anything else. I bought him a GoPro a couple of years ago and that's really hard to top.

We don't buy each other gifts for Christmas, but my husband has his birthday in December and I bought him tickets to see a stand up show with Dara O'Brian.

Mine's easy and cheap  . Anything grill-related he loves, so he's getting a rotisserie this year. He's probably getting some new flannel shirts too, 'cause I keep stealing his. |

Mine doesn't want anything. He has no hobbies and doesn't care about electronics, clothes, shoes or anything like that. He's getting 3 jars of gourmet honey w/ a honey jar, a pair of sleep pants, a shirt from Duluth Trading (I hated to even buy that because he'll wear the same shirt over and over and over and doesn't care about variety in his apparel), and a pocket knife. Maybe some socks (the only thing he asked for). I have no clue what else to get.

DH and I don't exchange gifts. The kids got him some cologne he's been wanting and a new Patriots jersey, as the one he currently has is 12 years old and the number is rubbing off the back.  |

We don't exchange gifts. I usually get him some little frou-frou.
Next year he will get some of those alpaca socks as a treat...or perhaps for his bday in October.

Mine is easy, too. He has a long list of books he wants to read, and a variety of hobbies and interests. His big surprise this year is a 3D printer (BF sale). He'll be thrilled.
If he's not a tech/gadget guy, what about a new wallet, or a sub to a man box of some sort? There are so many of those now.

My dh is a history buff. I bought him two books that he will love and then we both just bought handguns. Those are our presents!

I've used this club for ordering various monthly gifts for my husband. He enjoys them and they are fabulous on getting the item here on time. I've gotten him the monthly bacon, salsa, beer, and hot sauce clubs at various times. This year he is getting the pasta and then olive oil. I order them so they are delivered every other month. It works out good so we don't get so much product. Amazing Clubs |

DH is incredly hard to buy for. If he wants anything he usually just goes and buys it. I got him a fry daddy and wine from a vineyard of musician that is likes. It's a rather boring gift season for him but I'm just stumped

dh's favourite gifts have been expensive tools (he is a contractor). i do my research, mainly by calling his contacts who are specialists in that particular area and ask what he would like... works out really well!!
this year he wants ridiculously expensive hockey skates. now that he thinks he can get them for about $600 he just wants the money towards them. so that is easy.
