What are you giving your DH for Christmas?

Mine has not given me any idea what he would like and he is very picky so I am hesitating when it comes to just buying him something.

  • He bought himself an air compressor.  Birthday (Dec. 23) and Christmas gift rolled into one, thank goodness.  I HATE, hate, HATE, shopping for him b/c he's a pain in the ass about gifts, so I'm relieved that I don't have to think too hard.  

    I've also gotten him some new t-shirts, will be getting him new boxers and a new wallet, and then I had a silhouette portrait done of Charlotte, as well as having her paint something for him on a small canvas.

    He's impossible.

  • A folding poker table top, The Smiths complete vinyl box set, and a few small things.

  • I got no list this year so his presents aren't exciting. I got him a tool bag for around the house, a portable  luggage scale, a magnetic wrist thing to hold nails/screws. He wants plans because he doesn't need any tools, so I need to buy some tonight and print them out. Problem with that is it is hard not to only choose things *I* want him to make! 

    Man, that sounds like he was not very good this year!

  • I got him new dress shoes and a belt, and 2 different box sets of Star Trek movies on Blu-ray. This will give him all the movies except the most recent.
  • - driving shoes

    - driving gloves

    - Lego Star Wars Super Star Destroyer

    - new slippers

    I got one of these for Dh and my Dad.  I also got Dh a Golden Tee game you hook up to the tv. A Tervis (sp) Texans Cup, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember.  I do plan on getting him a new blower for the yard.

  • We set a $25 limit on gifts for each other since we are about to furnish a new place (we just got a great bed at West Elm) so I got DH 2 smaller thigng

    -a fog free mirror for the shower. It has a holder for his razor, a clock (so he's not late) & a radio

    -a coconut scraper (a little device to scrape out the inside of a coconut) 

  • Our main gift to each other is our trip to NYC, but I am also getting him an electric shaver (he needs a replacement of the one he has), a couple Ralph Lauren shirts for work, and a gift card to The Arms Room, our local gun store/shooting range. He is saving up for a particular handgun & already has another GC I gave him so hopefully these together will be enough for him to maybe get it. He wouldn't otherwise spend his $ on something this "impractical", but I want him to be able to enjoy the hobby of going to the shooting range, he deserves the time to blow off a little steam, as he works so much & takes care of DD a lot!

  • His big gift is a Garmin. I also got a Tervis cup, HP7 on Blue Ray, and this thing for his Ipod for running....and he freaking lost his Ipod a week after it came in. I got stuff for his stocking also. I keep finding things to get him this year but I've already seriously blown my budget. The Garmin itself was over budget but that was all I could come up with.
  • Well DH's birthday is on the 9th so I get him a few things between his birthday and Christmas.

    This year I got him... 2 pair of pants from Van Heusen (sp?) SUPER SALE at Katy Mills, a Texans jersey ($19.99 at Reebok at KM mall), a couple of shirts from ON, Gucci Guilty, sun glasses, Dinner at Fogo de Chao (for his birthday), thinking about getting him a fishing pole (my stepdad has a boat and we plan on going fishing a lot this summer).

    For his birthday: I was gonna get him a wet/dry vac but he bought it himself, his parents got him an air compressor, my mom got him another Texans jersey.

  • I bought him a Kel-Tec PF-9 handgun. He will also be getting some new socks, undershirts and boxers because he is apparently incapable of buying those for himself.

     Do you have a link to the one you bought?  I need to get a new one for DH.

     I got him new Crocs.  He uses them to slip on outside in the yard, new slippers, a book from the kids, a Kandle, and I think that's it.  I need to go get him some socks and underwear.

  • I'm getting my BF one cheesy gift and two nice gifts.  He's very musical, actually that's one of the things we have in common is we both played percussion in high school.  He has a drum set in his apartment, but never plays it for fear of pissing his neighbors off.  I found this cute hand held drum set called finger drums.  There are buttons for every drum or symbol.  I thought it was cute, I hope he does.

    His other two gifts are an iPod nano, and a sterling silver money clip with his initials engraved on it.  He asked for a money clip, so I found a nice one.  I'm pretty sure he's getting me the Kitchen-Aide mixer that I have been dreaming of forever.  Someone I know told me that wasn't a very romantic gift for the first Christmas; to me it is if he actually listened to things that I want and never buying myself!
