What are you giving your guy this year?

I need gift ideas! What are you getting for your FI/DH?

Re: What are you giving your guy this year?

  • Just jumping in here...probably/hopefully a PS3!
  • Mine's a gear head, so I was hoping to get him an engine for his next project, but he's buying that next week...which is what happens everytime I have a good idea of a gift...

    So, I'm planning on buying him some books from his favorite automotive journalists, one of those things you put around your ankle so you don't tear up your pants on the bike gear, probably some racing games for our Wii, but i can't think of much else, he's like impossible to get stuff for and chances are he'll put some of those things on his list that his family buys from...so we'll see

    I tend to buy him a few presents from me, and then a few inexpensive ones from our four-legged baby. 

  • My DH loves to cook so he is getting new pots & pans and some new knives. I know it sounds so 1950s, but that is what he wants. Our daughter is giving him a coffee mug with her handprint on it.
  • DH is getting a nail gun and some clothes.  We're doing a small christmas this for ourselves b/c we've been doing some renovations to the house.

     

  • Some alone time :) We dont exchange gifts, just enjoy some time together.  Which is normally not something we are able to do all the time.

  • A Citizen Eco Drive watch that he's wanted for a year and some money towards a new tv/ blu ray dvd player and some blu ray dvds
  • Beatles Rockband, clothes and a calendar for shutterfly. 
  • DH is getting some beer brewing equipment that he wants, and probably a couple of casual shirts and sweaters, since I'm tired of him wearing the same old t-shirts.  Oh, and I always get him a pair of silly boxers.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • A Humidor, a crystal decanter & double old fashioned set, and the male equivalent of a jewelry box--it has a power stip to plug in chargers for cell phone, ipod, etc, and has compartments to hold change, wallet, watch, cufflinks, etc. Sure beats the pile of stuff on the dresser.

    haha me too I think

  • We are getting a Wii together for Christmas so probably a game that I know he will like for that.

    Perfect Push up things

    Maybe some clothes.

    For him I just have to buy as I see because he likes to just buy what he wants when he wants.

  • DH is getting a pocketwatch and a personalize journal. He's really into coffee, so the journal is to record his roasts and tasting.
  • a kindle dx (or whatever the big, expensive one is called).  i have been saving up!

  • Mine asked for a bass guitar.

  • I am not sure yet but you have given me great ideas:-)

  • Ugh, I don't know.  There's a few stocking stuffers I always get him... silly boxers, socks, new toothbrush etc.  I was thinking of getting him a Flip UltraHD Camcorder, but I have a feeling he's planning on getting that for me and also I'm not sure I want him following me around with a camcorder all the time lol!  So I have no clue.

  • Sex. ;o)
    Took 2 years & 8 months to make our baby! Lilypie First Birthday tickers
  • I am thinking either an XBOX 360 or a tv/dvd for the car.

  • We both agree not to spend too much on gifts for each other for any holiday - Christmas we set a $100 limit.  So far he's getting a Penn State shirt and a Steelers shirt, but I'm not sure what else yet.

  • DH loves sports and especially the Orioles and Cal Ripken, Jr.  He has several signed baseballs of other players, but none from Cal.  I decided to get him a Cal Ripken, Jr. signed baseball.  It's his Christmas/Anniversary present, since Xmas and our anniv. are so close together.

    That's an awesome gift!!!  I love Cal Ripken Jr. also :) 

  • I will probably give him a gift card to Best Buy.  He likes to buy games for his Xbox, and he has been wanting a larger TV.

    Golf Cart

    S&BJ

    Nice touch.

    DH is getting golf lessons and maybe a few legos for nostalgic reasons.

  • BluRay that plays Netflix too.  He's been talking about it for months.

    We usually plan a vacation for a couple of months after Christmas as well.  We are looking at Vegas, Boston or D.C.  We've been to Vegas together.  He grew up outside Boston and I've never been.  We've been to D.C. with other people but not together.  I vote for Boston since I have never been and he has family in the area.

  • We are moving into a new apt just before Christmas, so probably something useful. We did the same last year. lol "Merry Christmas, here is our new room!"

    Lame, I know. lol
