What is on DH's holiday wish list?
DH always wants like 2 things, and they are always very practical (this year, a wheelbarrow and a ladder). No problem-his parents are happy to get that stuff, but his mom and my parents/siblings are ALWAYS asking me for suggestions. I can usually come up with 1-2 things for ME to get him, but it's hard to think of even more stuff.
Inspire me!
Re: What is on DH's holiday wish list?
Our crazy, wonderful life
Absolutely no idea and I dread that part of the holiday shopping every year. He never has any ideas, so he gets clothes and tools, and occasionally a videogame.
My DH would like tools that are way out of anyone's price range, and a turkey fryer.
I'm am probably getting him the turkey fryer.
Something inexpensive that DH recently purchased, likes and wants another of is a Cablz sunglasses band. Similar to croakies, but the band is still and doesn't hang on his next. I think he said they're like $10.
Some bigger ideas I have for him are:
Getting golf clubs reshafted.
Miter saw
New drill
Clothes
Shoes
Sound bar for our tv
Video games
Wish list? DH never makes me a list. Blah!
One thing I know he wants is a new digital watch - he uses it as his alarm and for running but he doesn't want anything "fancy GPS" or anything. So....that's like $30. Done.
And, other than that, I got nuthin. He did mention the other day "Us" asking for things like a ladder and a hedge trimmer for the house but I'd rather he ask for that so I can get things I want, LOL.
Work clothes and underwear. Every year, I come up with an awesome toy for him. This year, I got nothin. Here are a few of our past toys, if anyone needs inspiration: Kegerator, R2D2 robot that responds to voice commands, remote control helicopter (BIG hit with his friends, I think their wives are doing that one), GPS for camping, and... I know I'm forgetting one. Must not have been my best idea.
MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter
So far he has asked for some new slippers, a sweater from Cabela's, and a new electric razor.
I would like some more ideas for him, but right now we haven't decided how much we are spending on each other. I think we need to shop for the kids and then see how much is left over for us!
