Presents for the Guys

What are you getting for your husband this holiday season? 

I bought Bill a small Keurig for his office but I'm drawing some blanks on other stuff.

Re: Presents for the Guys

  • I bought David a new Citizens watch, a gift card to ***'s so he could go get some new golf shoes and a new putter, and some new polos.  I also want to get him a new Red Sox hoodie, some Mario Party Wii game he wants and then Makayla gets to pick out something she wants to get him.

  • He bought me a range, and I bought him a dishwasher....and we are buying each other new countertops after the holidays.

    Does that count? 

    Yea, we are lame.  I know. :)

  • LOL TN bleeped out the name of the sport goods store because it's a bad word.  I was just talking about the sporting good store!!!

    Hey, we're getting new floors after Christmas.  I tried to tell Bill we would count it if he wanted but he didn't want to (I think he likes getting presents).  But I don't think you're lame.  

  • I just found all THE COOLEST website for all the geek/nerdy husbands(and maybe wives too!) Its called www.thinkgeek.com It has EVERYTHING!!

    P.s. No, I'm not a spammer, I just thought a lot of us would want the info. :)

  • I'm getting him a set of rare film from photojojo, and maybe get a bunch of his film developed for him, like I wanted to do for his birthday. I might also get him a new jacket, he likes clothes.

    ETA: I also found a pencil bag that has cameras printed on it, which is kind of perfect since he also draws.

  • Oh, my, I think my brother needs this!!!!

    That's super fun! Have you seen all the Star Wars stuff at Williams-Sonoma?

    Yes!  I got him a storm trooper turner last year.  I also got Bill and Clark both some Star Wars Lego pens.  I got both a Chewie and a Yoda.  

  • I went a little overboard this year.

    Stocking: New electric toothbrush, floss, gum and a small game

    Regulr: Workout book (he wanted), tablet, and depending on if my sisters get him what he asked for them something else. It's between a softball glove (my little sister is getting), 2 DVDs, and a remote helicopter.

  • Tiffany-  LOVE that! 

    Julie- New floors will be a great gift to each other!  Also, I am still laughing at my dumb self. When you mentioned earlier this year that you were getting your brother (I think) Hangover glasses and I thought they were going to be Hangover eye glasses!

    We are lame.  We don't do gift to each other for Christmas.

  • Oh my. DH specifically requested sugar cookies with royal icing for my Christmas baking this year, and I might have to make some of them with these cookie cutters.

    Well, they won't technically be a gift.  And I did see that comment but I didn't comment back--I could have been a little more informative with those but they're hilarious and I hope he likes them.  Did you see the second one?  In it, Alan calls himself a stay at home son.  I laughed so hard because that was my brother's FB status earlier that day but I didn't get it until I saw it myself.  He stays home with my dad so it fits him perfectly.

  • I was going to get him a tablet, but he bought one for me for an anniversary present, and I just don't really think we need two around the house, so we can share it.  So, I'm thinking maybe a scope for his gun that I got him for an anniversary gift.  I'll probably also buy him some clothes, because that boy always needs nice clothes (and only gets them if it's his birthday or Christmas or on sale haha).

    Here's another tough one... y'all know he's been in school all semester.  He finishes the week before Christmas... to my knowledge, it's just a final and then a state exam, no ceremony or anything like that.  But, his dad told me to get him a specific thing he'd mentioned wanting, and he'd pay me back for it... I hadn't even thought about getting him a congratulatory present for finishing his course.  It is literally the week before Christmas when he'll finish - do y'all think I should get him something extra for a congratulatory present as well as Christmas presents?

  • I love the ThinkGeek website.  I almost bought gifts for all of my team from there, but didn't get it done it time.

     I got DH a wine refrigerator, wine aerator,  wine bottle vacuum sealer, and Green Day Rockband so far.  I'm really excited to see him open his gifts!

     I'm also really excited about his parents present which is a KitchenAid mixer.  It was 33% off on cyber Monday.

    If I caught this in the movie, I don't remember.  But I did just laugh out loud at it and got a co-worker side eye!

    Random P.S.  I saw you mention "Clark" in an above post.  Is that your brother's name?  If so, I love it!

  • Ben is getting pajamas, socks/underwear, beer glasses (he only has one that he has to wash over and over), and a bottle of scotch so far.  Last year I got him a robe and he LOVES it.  I want to get him wine but of course I can't find it.

    I try to get him a gift for every day of Hanukkah and for Christmas morning so he gets mostly little stuff.  I also got him a Star of David Christmas tree topper for our tree.

  • I got H a DVD set he asked for (Cleopatra 2525... apparently it's some old show that never made it past one season) and Dominion, the top board game on his Board Game Geek wishlist.

    It is.  My parents wanted names that, if they had to yell out in a crowd, 10, 000 kids wouldn't turn around.  Well, I'm Julie.  I know a few Julie's but it's not like "Ryan" a couple of years ago (I had five Ryan's and a Brian in one class--not easy to deal with that same name recurring over and over).  So far as I know, he's never met anyone with his name and I've only had one student with his name.  

  • Angie - if it was a long program - i'd get him something small :)

    DH and i are going to a nice dinner. We bought the new iphone 4s a few months ago, and we just got new cases for them this past week they were $80 a piece. Between those big purchases, other peoples gifts and looking at new homes - we can't afford anything this year. Especially with some other unwanted expenses. So i'm no help here :/

  • Ashlee - it has been just this semester, but it's an 8-5 M-F program so he hasn't been working.  He's been studying really hard & making better grades than in college or even high school, so I'm very proud... maybe we'll do a nice dinner instead of a present, since it's Christmas time and all. 
  • I guess we're lame.

    We don't buy each other Christmas gifts... never really have.  Hmm...

  • I'm pretty sure DH is getting a pair of ray bans.
  • LOL you ladies are funny today!  Great ideas!

    I'm thinking about a few ideas just not sure which to buy yet... a new Citizen/Bulova watch, black western boots, tennis shoes or Polo sweaters.

    I am for sure getting him cologne since he's out. :)

  • Ooh, what kind are you getting him?  I love men's cologne.  Since J hasn't been working at a manual labor job, he's been wearing his cologne every day, and I love it!  But, he has like 8 different kinds so I can't buy any more, even though I always want to.

    Alex will wear one kind and one kind only. its that Aqua Di Gior or whatever. I have to admit....it smells good :)

  • LOL I do too!

    I'm getting him the cologne from Guess (he had a sample and loved it) and Armani Code.  Love both of those!  He also wears Polo Black!

    This is J's favorite of all the ones he has.
