What are you getting DH for Christmas?

HuskerBabyB · November 2011

My original plan was to get him new work boots and some new coveralls for Christmas, but that plan was shot back in October when he needed them right away. I had also planned to get him and Otterbox for his iPhone. I found them on
Amazon today for dirt cheap ($13), and now I have no idea what else to get him. I can't just spend $13 and call it good! We don't usually spend more than $50 on each other because we tend to focus more on the kids.

So, what are you getting DH for Christmas?

I have no idea and can't figure anything out. I'm stuck.

We're going on a cruise right after Christmas. DH wants cruise wear/sneakers/flip flops for our trip.

I am getting him a bunch of small things he has had his eye on. Plus one selfish gift for me....a new wallet. He has this wallet that is jam packed with so much crap...it is huge. So huge he refuses to sit on it and insists I put it in my purse everywhere we go. Um, no! Get your own purse! Anyway, he wont have any excuses to thin it out and throw away the 90% of stuff in there he never uses or needs.

Also, his birthday is the 24th so I got something extra to wrap in birthday paper!

I'm going a bit over budget this year and getting DH the watch he's been wanting for a very long time.

I'm really stuck this year. Our parents demand lists from us, but I feel like I should be able to get him something that's not on his list. Although, what, I don't really know. He loves photography and he has a great digital camera but I know he would LOVE a Digital SLR camera, especially with a little one coming so I THINK I might go that route but it depends on cost. We usually spend about $200-$250 on each other at Christmas because both our birthdays are the first week of January, so it's a combination Christmas/Birthday limit. (We have also spoiled each other, but this will be the last year for that since baby is coming).

I got DH a Bengals draft hat that he wanted and I got his watch fixed. All it needed was a battery but he hasn't gotten it replaced for a year. UM....thats about it..lame I know but hell I am carrying this baby too! That has to count for something

( just kidding...kinda)

I already got him a CD box set that he wants. I am also on the lookout for a set of gloves he can wear AND use his iPhone. I love mine and he is always jealous.

There is a Groupon today for curling lessons. For some reason he is amused and fascinated by this "sport" so I might buy him that too as a joke.

Candy and such for his stocking too.

I would like to buy him an iPad but no can afford.

I think I will just get him a gift card to buy fishing crap. As if he doesn't spend enough time already out on his boat....

Nothing. We don't exchange gifts.

We tend to just get each other "because" gifts through the year instead of focusing on gift giving during specific holidays (xmas, v-day, etc).

I was at the mall last night and got him a pair of jeans he's been wanting. But it was more just because I thought about it and I was there.

I got DH a Keurig. He has been saying that he wants to start making coffee at home, but gets too lazy in the am, so I figured this should be simple enough for him to do really quick in the morning. Bonus - he won't stop at Dunkin Donuts every AM, so it will save us $$ in the long run.

OP are there any books or DVD's your husband might like two or so of those will put you up to the 50 dollar range.

I have no idea....

He doesn't need anything and doesn't know what he wants. Since we're adults and don't need anything and can buy things as we want them, I like to buy "experiences" instead of things (for instance I want tickets to the ballet for Christmas). So I asked DH if he'd like hockey tickets, as its not something he'd treat himself too, and he said, "no". Sheesh! I've no idea what to get him...

Since we got married we don't do gifts. Instead we put together money to buy something for the house. We've bought a bed, a tv, a fridge in the past. This year we are replacing the carpet in the baby's room. It's original to the house I assume since it's 70's orange shag w/ no padding. We ignored it until now cause we didn't need to use that room. It was one of those we'll do it later. Well now it's later and I wish we would have just got it done with the other carpet.

I bought him a Kindle Fire. I wanted to get him an iPad but I could not justify spending that much on one gift!

amberlynnr7 · November 2011

I got him a video he wanted (Batman: Arkham City for xbox), 2 thermals that he LOVES, and I think there might be one or two more things I am going to be getting for him, just don't know what yet!

sam19 · November 2011

Nada. And he's getting me the same thing.

PregNerd · November 2011

For our anniversary I bought DH a pretty fantastic watch - which he insisted would be hist birthday and Christmas gift as well (the watch was kinda pricy) - so just small things for Christmas.

The main thing I want to get him is "The Night Before Christmas" - he has been talking about starting a tradition where on Christmas Eve we gather as a family and he reads the story to the kids. I wanted to get him a copy so next year we will be able to start our new family tradition.

He's getting a miter saw stand - he sent me a couple he liked, so I just have to pick one of them out. I'm also getting him new noise-cancelling headphones. He wants a new pull-cart for his golf bag, but I think I'll save that one for his birthday in April since he probably won't golf before then.
