He has asked for a new coat, so I am off to Banana Republic in a bit. I need more ideas (perhaps more fun than a coat!). What is on your DH's list this year?
DH never has a list. This year I think I'm getting him a new pair of jeans. They are the cheapy carpenter style from WalMart. He has one pair from high school that he still wears during field work! I hate them but he claims they are the most comfortable to wear when climbing up bins and tractors, etc. Also a car wash card, new basketball shoes, and a level since he misplaced his. Probably more little things to put in his stocking.
DH never has a list so I normally get him some of the same things every year. Cologne, fitted hats, slippers, and work clothes. Anytime he wants something special or different he goes out and buys it for himself. So frustrating :-/
A hydraulic jack (he works on both our vehicles and helps neighbors but always has to borrow one) Set of mechanic's tools Tickets to Cirque du Soleil's "Kurious" two days after Christmas that I've already purchased and told him about - he was so surprised!
Safety glasses and a hard hat with face screen for cutting wood w/ chainsaw. We have a lot of yard work to do in the spring and I know he won't go buy one himself. A fun gift too but I havent thought of what yet...
Most of dh's clothes are from junior high or high school, so he's finally come to the realization that he might need some new things. But of course, most of the items he's requested are t-shirts. He wants to build a new computer next year so I may also get him a few parts for that.
I have no idea what to get Mr. Scrooge this year!!! He suggested long underwear for his Christmas list so that's what he'll likely get.. I would get him some undershirts for work, unfortunately they haven't given out the color that they're allowed to wear this year. It's a pain in the kiester to figure something out for him since he wants nothing to do with anything gift-wise for the holiday season.
A new wedding band. He lost weight and his slipped off his finger. Luckily he found it in his glove. He then asked me to keep it safe right before we moved. Yeah, it's gone, I have no idea where he put it. So I'm buying him a new one. Maybe a new Swiss Army knife, some slippers, and stocking stuffers.
A couple of new golf shirts, something from Home Depot or Lowes, he always has a project going on in our house. He needs new sunglasses so I will probably get him some, but let him pick them out.
I can't help but laugh that you call your husband, Mr. Scrooge @MesmrEwe!
Oh you should hear him when I'm on the phone with my Ma talking anything related to Christmas!!! I half-way expect him to start snarling "BAH HUMBUG!" from across the room!
DH never wants anything always says he doesn't need anything so its always an adventure. I always feel so bad not thinking if good gifts. His bday was last month and I got him a new travel mug because he happened to complain about his old one. Funfun! Haha.
The only things on his list is the same as every year, either nothing, or iTunes Store gift cards. The irony is that he works for Apple, and pretty much in that department too.
I got him some new clothes, and underwear because he needs them. I'm still undecided on the gift card, for his own work

My H says he doesn't need anything, and doesn't do a list. I think couple gift cards, pj's , and stocking stuffers. We are expecting he wants to save the money so he can take off couple days extra with me!
Nothing too exciting. We're still working on a huge home remodel so that's sort-of our gift. But, we still need things to open with the kids so we will probably get things that we need and wrap them. I am probably getting him lined jeans from Eddie Bauer (get these each year--he loves them), maybe flannel PJ pants, probably a shirt/sweater, and...not sure...something else maybe slightly more "fun." I'm getting myself snow boots "from" him (will wrap them) and some good mittens; not sure what else. Maybe some kitchen stuff (i.e. a juice pitcher! wooo-hooo! maybe a citrus juicer machine).
Nothing exciting, but I think I will get him a new lawn mower since our current one is on it's last leg and I don't think he wants to spend the money on a new one. If I have money left over I might get him some man stuff from Costco.
Another impossible man to shop for...luckily we opts out of gifts this year and are planning a trip instead only have to fill a stocking...and he does love candy, so that should be easy!
DH is hard to buy for, he's one of those who buys himself whatever he wants when he wants it. His birthday is also December 31 so I have a doubly hard time this time of year. For Christmas I got him tickets for the two of us to see The Book of Mormon. I think I'm also going to get him this thing called Tile that keeps track of stuff you lose all the time like keys, wallet, etc. I'll probably get him some stocking fillers like stuff from Kiehl's. Now to come up with birthday gifts...
I got him an autographed book from the guy who plays Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. I'm also making a Love Story Timeline. It sounds super cheesy, but it's super cute and he's into sentimental things so I think he will love it!
