I got him some organization things for the garage (AKA the "man cave"), some new clothes for the gym, and some car detailing products (the brand that he loves).
My main gift to him is a fancy new coffee/espresso maker. I also got him this shirt he wanted and a CD (yeah, he still wants CDs). I might pick up a few other things and some stocking stuffers.
I got a couple pairs of gym shorts, a calculator watch (yes he is THAT big of a nerd). a CD, a nice watch for work, and I am wrapping up a video game he asked for last year and still hasn't opened ....there is one more under the tree and I can't remember what it is, so I guess we will both be surprised when he opens that one

some clothes, new cologne and a new razor. DH buys pretty much anything that he ever wants for himself, so he's super hard to shop for. I got him other small things, but really I don't have any good ideas this year
Part of DH gift was tickets to see the Aerosmith Concert - he's a concert junkie. I also got him Metallica Monopoly game he wanted, shorts for running, a belt and beer opener buckle.

This is what I had in mind. He really likes pocket watches and kind of collects them. And he has hardly any winter jeans so I was gonna get him a pair of lined ones from Old Navy. It just seems kind of lame to me I guess.

I still need some good gift ideas as well. I got DH 2 seasons of Swamp People and a new set of clippers since the blades on the set we have are getting dull. We also just got some expensive repairs done on the jeep which he claims is his present, but I don't think it counts.
What say ye? Jeep repairs as a gift?
Do both of you drive the Jeep? What kind of repairs? If they were necessary repairs, I'd say no. If it was cosmetic stuff and it's primarily his vehicle, then maaaaybe, but I'd still be hesitant.
We aren't doing big gifts this year, just stockings, because we just spent a bunch on wedding rings last month, he works on Christmas and Christmas Eve, and its just the 2 of us this year. I got DH pajama pants, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt (inside joke, he loves them and always got TMNT stuff for chirstmas as a kid), 2 packs of socks (what he asked for lol), magic cards (yup, he is a magic: the gathering nerd), a new deck of UNO cards (they play a lot of card games at work), a whole bunch of Reeses, and 3 of those suction cup dart guns for kids (Also a little inside joke and come with the stipulation that he can NOT shot them at the cats). I'm also make a huge batch of my AMAZING special Peanut Butter Reese Pieces cookies for him to bring to work. (Of course, I'm still hoping to give him one more HUGE gift but I'm trying not to get either of our hopes up since I'm really not feeling that this is "the" cycle.)
We didn't want to spend a lot of money on presents this year since we're moving, so DH picked out this screen covering for his phone that is supposed to make the screen indestructible. I just smiled and nodded when he picked it out.
Usually I have some big present to surprise DH with, but not this year. He is getting a 49ers hat, some goofy t-shirts, a nice sweater, a book about hockey (he is in withdrawal), a new PS3 controller, a CD, the dark knight rises on blue ray, a cheap game for kinect, socks and underwear, and a gift card to best buy. He also has pajamas to open Christmas Eve (tradition for my family) and I wrapped up some lingerie I bought for myself that I am going to have him open Christmas Eve.
