Holiday Shopping

What are you getting your man for christmas? I'm so stumped this year!

Re: Holiday Shopping

  • A Flip Video camera and a bedside stand (to match mine - his side of the bed used to be next to the dresser, so we didn't get him one, but then we rearranged the room and now he needs one)

    And some clothes. Cause heaven knows if I didn't buy him clothes, he wouldn't have anything newer than 1995ish.

  • I am also stumpedStick out tongue maybe we can get some great ideas from your post!!!
  • I got hubby a new wool coat (his is in bad shape), a magnetic light that attaches to your grill instruments since heaven knows you can't separate a guy from his grill - even in the winter when he stands outside at night like a dummy, replacement Ugg slippers since our dog ate one of his last summer, new pajama pants, and some other little odds and ends stuff (socks, stocking stuffers, etc.).
  • I got him some clothes and a radar detector since his was stolen. I am thinking of getting him a GPS for work too since he has mentioned it a few times.

     I can always find clothes for him, but it is hard to find other things I know he will use.

  • DH want's a new watch, so that's what I'll be getting him.

  • I'm making DH a new stocking this year, so that we can have matching ones for our first married Christmas. 

    He also wants a pair of microfiber golf pants, but he's such an awkward size that I'm having a hard time finding them!  Anyone know of any sporting good stores that carry pants for tall, skinny men?

  • Possibly a PS3. We really want a blu-ray player and he said a couple games look pretty cool. However he needs clothes, like BADLY. So I might just go crazy clothes shopping for him.

  • We're buying one big present for/from both of us. We're really into video games and have 3 tvs in our living room, but only one "nice tv" everyone fights over so we're going to buy a second one of those.

    We did the same thing last year with kitchen chairs and its def not as exciting on Christmas day, but we'll both get the one thing we really really want. : )

    I also bought some christmas stockings this year so I'll probably put some small things in there...like new socks, rechargeable batteries, etc.

  • DH wants to set up a workout area in the house.  So I'm going to get him a punching bag, some dumbells, workout type clothes.  I also got him a dartboard, and we're going to do stockings for each other.  His birthday is 9 days before Christmas, so I have to think of present ideas for him all at once during the year!! :)

  • He got a puppy this weekend and that is all he is getting now. Well besides a couple shirts I already had bought for him on Black Friday.

  • DH wants a Wii.  He thinks it's the only thing he's getting but I'm going to get him a few movies and a faceplate for his new cell phone too.
  • Nothing too major or exciting. We were going to get a new tv but my cell contract is up in a few weeks so we got me a new phone and decided not to spring for a tv too (not right now anyway). Because he would rather wait and get the size he wants then get a smaller size now...so he is getting some clothes because he has no winter clothes other than his work ones (i.e. suit and tie) and he wants a new pair of running shoes. Plus some odds and ends like the office season 1 that I found cheap on black Friday and some Wii games I found cheap on black Friday...unfortunately he knows everything this year. Since the wedding was so close, he pretty much got everything big he wanted like his grill and stuff. Sorry this isn't very helpful!
  • I am getting him a pair of black nikes and some clothes. He already got his big christmas present which was a basketball hoop.

  • I have NO clue....we just got a new car so that was our xmas present to ourselves....but I'm thinking there should be more gifts on top of that. :)
  • I know I'm a little late on this post but I just got his gift at my office.  I got him a Garmin nuvi 255W, a GPS for his truck.  I would have no idea what that was if he didn't want one.  He's been eyeing it up for a year so I bought it.  I got him a case, a better holder and an extra car charger.  I'm going to get him a few other small things but I can't wait to give this to him!!
  • Bah, my parents just called me to ask what size pants DH wears because they found the perfect pants for him with an unfinished hem they can get tailored to the right length.

     Now I'm back to square one, sigh.
