Well we weren't going to get each other gifts but I hate that idea LOL. We are going to Scotland in August and he just bought tickets to the Edinburgh Tattoo a few weeks ago so he told me not to buy anything. I may get him a gc for a massage. Relaxation is nice

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 ClubsThat looks like a great idea. I'm going to order seasonal jerky.

My Dh is getting a new I-pad. He left his on the train two weeks ago (right on the seat) and it's long gone.... So irritating.

We don't exchange gifts. For us, we'd rather use the $$ to do something to the house. Although, I have bought dh a couple of small things from the boys - Homer Simpson pj bottoms and an adult coloring book (which I can't believe he'll ever actually use, but he's told me several times how he thinks it would help relax him)

We don't exchange gifts either and if we do they're practical. This year i got him a new hoodie because his is embarrassingly thread bare. Usually i get a bunch of snacks and wrap them so there's something under the tree.

Dh is getting a Craftsman 4 ton car floor jack set. It comes with the solid jacks, the floor jack, and a creeper (the thing you lay in with wheels).

We are pretty loose about getting gifts for each other, but mine likes Anne Voscamp and I ordered her Christmas DVD for him. I hope it comes soon...we will watch it together before the kids come and I'm sure he will try to get the whole family and half his friends to watch it, too. He sent 1000 gifts DVD to all the kids...I call her his "girlfriend". He was sick last year for several momths...got to the place where he was unable to work and some one gave the DVD to him. After watching it and putting her methods in practice, he got well and is back 100%.

Actually if he likes watches, I would get him a shinola watch.
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
I love that you have to click the link to 'reveal the price.' I have a kid who loves watches. His girlfriend got tired of him pointing out which ones he loves and set up a pinterest account for him so he can save his dream watch wardrobe.

Thankfully my DH makes a Christmas list to give to my parents, so whatever they don't get him, I usually do. This year it's some camping stuff - a couple of cast iron pots, foldable aluminum sports chairs and a new sleeping bag. I also got him a sweater and some coffee related gifts.

I bought mine tickets to a concert in march, and an nfl tshirt. Hoping to be able to get a decent priced gopro in the next day or two Have you looked at the Sony Action Cams? I bought one for DH last year and it has been great. I found a bundle deal at Best Buy. My ds originally wanted a GoPro, when pricing them I found the Sony. I had ds compare both and decide which one he wanted. After lots of you tube videos and comparing reviews he picked the Sony. I got a good bundle deal from Amazon. I hope its a good camera for him. He likes idea of the live view wrist thing. **GypsyGirl** how does your dh like his camera?

The main thing he uses it for when he flies his small plane. He uses a mount and then has the camera record the ground as he flies. He's also used it for fly fishing and just out adventuring on his trips out West. I'm trying to talk him into mounting it on his dog when he bird hunts, but that dog is crazy and the camera might end up who knows where! When he has played the video back on the tv, the quality is excellent and no jumpy picture. It was a big hit as a gift and one he wasn't expecting. This year it will be impossible to top that! I hope your DS enjoys his!

Mine is getting a random assortment of stuff, tshirts, socks, undies (he gets those every year) then a Terry Pratchett book, a really nice sketching book and some Anime markers, One Punch Man Anime books, a mini Diablo figure, Captain America Lego and I'm planning a trip for the two of us in the new year. I was going to get him a La Sardina camera in bright orange til I realised that's what I wanted for me

I bought some ridiculously expensive ladder that he has been wanting. But I got it through Groupon and scored it half off. I think he will be happy, hoping it will benefit me too with some "honey do's" around the house that have needed attention!

DH has been wanting a deep fryer since we were registering for our wedding and he put a $200 deep fryer on there and I told him NO. He then said I'm buying it just cuz you told me no. Said he would reconsider if I changed my no to, please, we really don't need that.
So for 2 years now, he's been telling people that I've been denying him a deep fryer and all he wants in life is some fried coconut shrimp..mind you, he never orders them when we go to Red Lobster..
So this year, I'm getting him an air fryer...and a box of coconut shrimp!

My DH never buys anything for himself. I mean never. So he's actually super easy to buy for. I always keep a running list throughout the year so I can choose from it at Christmas, birthday etc. Maybe it will inspire someone:
knife sharpener mecanix gloves for working outside PS4 (obviously situational) video games board games cooking classes wine or liquor tasting classes skydiving or diving indoor skydiving iTunes GC bucket of beer hockey tickets baseball tickets Blue Mountain or other gourmet coffee certificate for hot shave stocking: men's cleanser, sunblock, moisturizer etc new tablet electric razor belt carry on suitcase

Mine is getting a new feather pillow, and an auto foiler. Apparently this is a device that will spin out the foil that goes on stained glass. He says it will help him with his projects, so I'm hopeful I picked a good one. I've been given so many crappy craft related items over the years, from people who don't craft but want to give me something to do with the hobby. I hate the idea of spending money on something that isn't going to work for him. For those of you still looking, we give steaks from the Kansas City Steak Company Link and have found them to be of great quality. I've also seen many things at think geek, and am really looking at the critical hit ice mold die. FIL has a December birthday, so this year we sent a belt and a magazine subscription. int he past we've done slippers, cheese, BBQ.

Mine is pretty easy to shop for and it's a bonus that he's really just a big kid. He's getting a random assortment of things:
The Big Bang Theory Lego Set Flannel PJ pants Henley shirts Batman original TV series, the complete season - with bonus Batmobile car Worf Funko Pop figure (from Star Trek) Jackery portable charger Jon Fogerty's book Captain America The Winter Soldier Season 10 of the TV show Bones The Bermuda Triangle board game from the 1970s. He (and I) love old board games and I had never seen this one before Food Saver
I'm still debating on the food saver. He wants one and keeps talking about it but then he was talking about Guitar Hero Live so I'm torn. I really wanted to get him an Xbox One but I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger.

DH is horrible to buy for. Never gives me any hints at all to what he might want. He says we only buy for the kids and not each other. Well last year he surprised me with a pair of boots I'd looked at a month before but wasn't really considering buy them even though they were half off at Belks. His excuse to breaking his own rule was that I really needed those boots for rainy or snowy days (not that it actually snows here more than once a year if that)
So this year the boys and I have gotten him an Amazon Echo. No idea if that's going to go over well or not.

I think he will be happy, hoping it will benefit me too with some "honey do's" around the house that have needed attention! Is it the ladder that you can use in a dozen different ways? If so I'd like to get that for mine someday. He's like the 3 stooges when he does any home improvement and I'm afraid falling off a rickety ladder may be in his future.

gale w - yes that's the one! I got lucky and saw it advertised on Groupon a few months ago and ordered it. Have been hiding it in a friend's garage ever since I received the huge box

I got mine a really spiffy tire gauge, a spy pen, a special pillow for back sleepers, an expensive finger/toe nail clipper, Cologne, back massager, back scrubber, waterproof wireless speaker so he can sing in the shower and I'm baking a whole mess of goodies that are his favorites.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered his gifts today. He asked for a camera bag, a belt, a flash for his camera, and an art portfolio folder for his photo prints. Then I added the latest seasons of his favorite sitcoms and some sci-fi/fantasy books.

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. My DH and I stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago and it is marvelous! Takes all the angst out of the holiday. If I want something for myself, I buy it and he does the same. No more swapping money.

My DH and I stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago and it is marvelous! Takes all the angst out of the holiday. If I want something for myself, I buy it and he does the same. No more swapping money. This is exactly why we stopped. We don't buy loads of stuff so when we DO want something, we just buy it. And it got the point where we were picking out things we wanted and the other would wrap it. LOL It got ridiculous. So we finally said enough...that was 10 years ago. Best thing we ever did. We do ask each other what is wanted from the kids. Some years it's little things, this year the gifts are a little more than normal...but it's only 2 things so that's ok.
