Christmas Gifts For DH

What are you all getting your hubby for Christmas? I'm having such a hard time thinking of anything else besides games and dvds .

Re: Christmas Gifts For DH

  • Sadly I still only have slippers on his list.
  • The matching garment bag and carryon to the Samsonite set I bought him last year, a golf trunk organizer, new Birkenstocks, socks and boxers, luggage tags, and I just got coupons for two stores where it is free money so I'll get him something with that too.

  • Because we're going on an expensive vacation the week after Christmas, we committed to a $100 limit on gifts and $100 limit on stockings this year. Most of my gifts are in the $20 - $30 range.

    That said, I bought him an iPhone (3gs) at the end of October, so i'm not feeling too guilty. He committed to buying me earring jackets for my diamonds for my 40th in October, but we haven't done that either yet. So, we're coming off some big gifts. 

     

  • Still have the same problem. I told him last night he's going to be pretty sad when there is NOTHING for him to open on Christmas and he needed to give me ideas. I then suggested things and he said no, no, no and I said, see - this is why you need to give me ideas! You're going to have to tell all your co-workers your wife didn't buy you anything! I did get him some spices from Penzey's for his stocking...big whoop!

  • We're only doing stockings and limiting it to $50.  He's getting a green sweater from Lands End Canvas that was on clearance, a knife set that includes one of those santoku knives he wanted that was on super sale black friday and dark chocolate truffles, which are a stocking staple.

  • Dh's main gift is the Kindle.  I also got him a hard cover book that he wanted and Burn Notice season 1 on DVD.  Those two smaller things I'm bringing to his parents on xmas eve.  I'm hoping the book will throw him off if he had any intuition that he was getting the kindle.  I mean really why would I get him a book, if I got the kindle for him...
  • The only thing he asked for is a new socket set.  I thought of getting him a new pair of slippers, a long terrycloth robe for the hottub, and maybe a chainsaw depending on how expensive a decent chainsaw is - ours died.

  • So far I have gotten him a fog free mirror for the shower, a train puzzle, An A&F chunky sweatshirt and a new nerf gun. I really am not sure what else I am going to get him.

  • Ben's birthday was just a few weeks ago so I allowed him to spend some money I had put aside to go towards the new computer he wants. I know it is lame but I am all about getting gifts that people actually want/need.

    I also bought the Star Wars cookie cutters and pancake molds at William Sonoma in the spring so he will actually get to unwrap something. I bought the lunchbox too but I am saving that for next year.

    I heart Ben!!

  • I got him Lego Harry Potter, a new sweatshirt for his alma matter (since he's worn the old one to death--it is literally falling apart) and a gift certificate to his favorite chiro/massage people.

  • I've only bought him a tiny screwdriver with a really long shaft and another screwdriver that has an adapter thing on the end so he can hook something in it and make it longer.  I don't know.... he pointed them out to me at Sears and told me he "needed" it.  I plan on putting those in his stocking.

    We've been talking about things to do.  We actually kinda need a new computer to run my editing software, and one of the lenses that I really want is going to be about $2000.  He told me that he'd be willing to just do that for his present too.

    I was going to get him a dog, but after last night and this morning, there's no freaking way.
