Re: what are you getting DH for christmas?
Hmm, well, I am getting my DH a new coat, an "I Love Daddy" bib, and a puzzle game from the Kumon store.
What are his interests? What about a good book, or concert tickets or something? Or maybe a "naughty" coupon?

I got DH a couple of practical things that he asked for (a new sweater, this weird motion sensor light switch, a can opener). So that stuff was boring.
But then I did some moderate research and found out his favorite childhood picture book and cartoon (I already knew from a random conversation and then confirmed with his mom), and I got him a copy of the book, and a DVD of the original cartoon (it was Tom and Jerry- so not the remakes, the old school version). I know he will enjoying reading/watching those with the LO when he/she is born. Heck- he will probably make me sit through watching the cartoon now.
Also, I started planning a little weekend getaway for us. In all honestly, it will probably be jointly funded- but he hates to plan, so the gift is that I already made all the decisions (based on things he would like too). This was easy too, because I just did all the research (location, things to do there etc) and then wrote it up nicely for him- but I didn't actually PURCHASE anything yet.
Hope that helps to give you some ideas. Have you asked him what he wants?

I got him Bose headphones, a new pair of sneakers, a baseball book, and some Cologne and manly products from L'Occitane since I hate when he uses my products LOL! I also got him a haircutting package for 3 haircuts through Groupon. I wish I knew the sex of the baby so I could get him something creative for the little one.. like matching sneakers or something!
For little things I got him a nice electric razor($60ish) and socks. The man goes through socks like they're going out of style.

So far, I've bought him some RAM for his Mac, (Romantic, I know!) ... I pre-ordered the newest Phish DVD and got him a T-shirt and a beanie with that ... I got him a shaving gift set from Sephora ... Some "Star Trek" PEZ dispensers ... And a kit so he can learn how to do origami, because I'd really like to make our mobile for the baby's room.
And yes, if you can't tell, he's a nerd, and I love it.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

New running shoes, a food dehydrator so he can make jerky and some pans to use on the grill.

Diddly squat.
LOL, we stopped exchanging years ago when we were dealing with me being unemployed and just never started again. The last few years we've done an experience or bought something for the house we've been wanting. This year we're buying all new bedding and bathroom stuff for our master.
Mine too!! He is on his feet all day at work though so I guess he has an excuse. But seriously, new socks every few weeks and new shoes every roughly 6 months is annoying!

OMG. Are we married to the same person? I've been begging him to replace these stupid corduroy shoes he has because they're holey and falling apart. I've found it is more beneficial to spend money and good shoes(his $100 Merrells come to mind) because they stand up to his wear and tear and he can wear them with dress clothes for work. But he loves those damm crocs.
