Holiday Gifts for DH?

homediva · November 2012

Hi Mamas!

What are y'all getting hubby for Christmas from you, and from the baby? I just did a bit of online shopping and DH is getting ugg slippers for around the house, and some wooden guitar piks from etsy. Last year I made him a really cute book with pictures of Max dressed up doing things that my husband does, called "Just Like My Dad." I want to do something fun this year too! What are you all going to do?

Also, is anyone else doing double holidays? We celebrate Hannukah and Christmas, so I am going to do books for Max for the 8 nights of Hannukah this year. I can't wait!

I got nothin'. Year after year we spend way too much and this year I am imposing a severe budget. My husband only wants expensive, outrageous, extravagant gifts and it causes fights! Ugh.

DH and I have been talking about updating our kitchen, so we've agreed to stick to small gifts for each other. I'm either going to get him something from Think Geek or Assassins' Creed II (video game).

I haven,t really thought of what the girls might give him.

Mine too! He wants outlandish things like a generator and super expensive power tools. I'm like, sorry dude, guess you're getting one gift, and it will be none of those things.

I'm probably getting him the new Halo game and one power tool if I can find something that he wants in the $200 range. And that's it. I truly dislike shopping for him, because I feel like we can never afford to get the things he really wants.

DH is studying to be a teacher so I got him this for his classroom:

He doesn't really ever get me anything because he HATES being expected to buy presents. He does like to get me stuff for no reason, however.

I have a few ideas that I've pinned. I don't think I will do specific gifts from LO, but rather from "us".

Ideas include: new golf shoes, an Under Armour skull cap (he does a lot of work in power plants where he uses hard hats and needs a skull cap to wear underneath), a new alarm clock and maybe a new tungsten wedding band.

Eh will be getting a pair of shoes and a good duck call ( he loves t duck hunt). We are saving up to get one of those humongous recliners that glides. So we're being skimpy with gifts this ear!
