Gift ideas for SO

What are you ladies getting your SO?? I always have a hard time with the bf. and he's actually pretty easy to shop for! his stocking is always essentials. socks, razors, axe spray, almond roca, and when he used to smoke, id get him a carton of his cigs. 

but i have no idea what to get him for his big gift. or even little gifts. i was thinking maybe a gc to bass pro shop, but then wheres the fun in that? I saw on shark tank they had these 50 caliber bullets that are bottle openers that you can get engraved, so if found their etsy shop and I'm getting him one of those. but he doesn't even drink. it just looks cool lol. other than that, I'm stumped. Last year i got him a few seasons of Sons of Anarchy, 

oh. and to make matters worse. his bday is two days after christmas. 
:-q

tl;dr I have no idea what to get the bf for christmas, any ideas for man gifts?

    DH is getting heated gloves with rechargeable batteries. We don't give little presents like razors, sock ect. We each give 1 present. For us this holidays are not about buying love, but spending time together. This isn't to say giving tons of presents means your trying to buy love, but that it can be a slippery slope. We would rather save our money and pay off the mortgage that much sooner.

    I try to get DH some kind of 'toy' or fun thing to wear each year. Last year's big gift was a wireless speaker, that you can steam to from your phone or whatever, and he liked that a lot. I was thinking of getting him a little remote controlled drone this year.

    I got him the Disney Marvel Infinity game with a few extra characters, because he's essentially a giant 12 year old. He's been talking about it for months, though, so I know he'll love it.

    I'm getting DH a bike trailer so we can take LO on bike rides this spring/summer. In the past, I've gotten him tools, a tablet, luggage, and a wireless speaker.

    A gift card to his favorite hardware store. The man loves tools. And I'm going to be extra generous in the sexy department.

    We actually do 'lists'. It is a tradition from my childhood-with 5 kids, mom and dad had us all write lists of what we wanted for birthday/xmas, and they hung on the fridge, where we would add to them as needed. This year, MH has a list of things that I'll shop off of, and coordinate what everyone else gets him. I also keep a list of things on my phone that come up here and there that I think he would like (like an aluminum ladder-he has a big extension ladder, but not a cheap ladder).

    His birthday is two weeks before x mas. For these gifts I am getting him a bike trailer, nice steak knives, probably some new shirts or jeans, and either a "discovery flight" at a flight school or a trip to the airplane "sim center". He's obsessed with airplanes

    I gave DH a flight lesson for his birthday awhile ago and it was a big hit!

    DH loves espresso so I am upgrading our old machine with the new Nespresso that just came out. He also has a crossfit gym in the backyard so I will probably get him one of those Bose wireless/Bluetooth speakers so he doesn't have to run a huge extension cord from the house.
