I know that I'm getting DH a small TV for his office and a couple of new suits for work. I don't have any smaller ideas though! What are you getting for your DH/Brother/Dad/FIL/BIL and other men on your Christmas list?
Nothing. We are staring a new budget Nov 1 and can only spend $400 total on gifts this year. We decided to not get each other anything, and have cut a LOT of people out of our list.
Pics of LO will be a big hit again this year...luckily my family is not materialistic at all and would rather us spend $10 on a framed print of their fave grandson/nephew/etc.
Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
so far a pro football jersey and a star wars action figure (one of those large, realistic ones). DH loves jerseys and toys, so that's what he's gotten so far.
We are on a tight budget now that #2 is almost here. I bought DH a kindle but that's it. We're doing joint gifts for the parents and siblings and their spouces so instead of buying something for my Dad alone we are getting them a gift certificate to go to a play and get dinner.

Before reading this post I had no idea. I went and searched for possible concerts/comedy stand-up people coming to STL after Jan 2011 and just purchased tickets for us to see Rodney Carrington in Feb 2011 (DH loves him). It's in Kansas City so we'll have to drive 4 hours to get there. But we'll stay in a hotel that night and make a fun date weekend out of it!
Last year I bought him George Strait & Reba McEntire tickets (he loves her) - the concert was in STL in Feb and we stayed in a hotel downtown. That was fun but I think this will be even better! So thanks for your post to get me thinking!
Small things I will get DH include: $10 gift card to Starbucks, pj pants, new boxers, car freshener, gum, cough drops (he loves them), a couple $5 DVDs from walmart, and whatever else I come across during Christmas shopping!

A book, probably a shirt, some other random things he'll like, depending on our budget. Maybe a movie or something.
My dad will get a framed pic of him and B, plus a joint gift with my mom (no idea what though).
We probably won't be getting gifts for FIL or BILs. FIL might get a picture of our family, since they've been complaining that they don't have one.
