NTTGP---What are you getting hubby for Christmas??

llw42614 · November 2014

Okay ladies.. I am completely clueless on what to get the hubby for Christmas. We are the type of people that just buy what we want throughout the year so there is nothing major sitting on the list. I hate being lame and buying just the standard stuff he needs (new work boots & shirts etc). Looking for some other fun ideas to throw in the mix. What's on your hubby's list?

reginaphilangee · November 2014

We are broke so I am making everyone their gifts. Crochet. So DH is getting an Auburn beanie hat and perhaps a scarf. He isn't a big gifter so no matter what I do his reaction is the same...."Oh! Thanks!"

If I can save up enough I'll get him a gift card to best buy. He has a love affair with that place. Ever heard of the geek squad? Well---he IS the geek squad.

ETA: words are hard

southernpeach89 · November 2014

I told DH around his bday in August that I was going to get him some new steel toed boots for Christmas since I couldn't get them for his bday. Those are definitely within budget for Christmas gifts and plus something else.

There is something very special that he wants on his Christmas list and they aren't very cheap. He wants a deep freezer for his venison. I looked at home depot and they run the range of $700-$1000. I'm thinking for this to happen, I might split this as a combined gift from my side of the family to him. We will see.

cateyes543 · November 2014

I will be getting H something from thinkgeek.com. He was showing me all the Star Trek things he wants last night so I know for sure that his gift will come from there I'm just not 100% sure what yet! He is the hardest person ever to shop for and so for him to get excited over anything is an instant win!

pippacricket · November 2014

I bought DH an Xbox one and some casual button-ups/shirts. I also found one of those digital picture keychains on clearance at BBB so I thought that would be a nice stocking stuffer.

I'll probably also buy some more of the A Song of Fire and Ice books (that's the name of the series right? Not GoT? I don't wanna look like an idiot mixing up the books/TV series lol) that he needs to complete the series and some candy for his stocking.

thewickedfairy · November 2014

He told me he wants NHL '15. Other than that, probably a few tshirts. We don't really do a lot for each other. We get a lot for the kids.

Edit: stupid auto correct

thycapa · November 2014

I bought H cobalt wrenches that he had been eyeing and a football sweatshirt of his favorite team. I might also get him some sneakers because our dog chewed his running sneakers when he was a puppy and they are starting to fall apart.

I just learned how, so guess what everyone is getting this year!?!? I plan on making scarves and lots of hats. We just bought a house about 4 months ago so DH and I say that is our christmas gift this year haha

DeerNHeadlights · November 2014

I'm getting him a tool chest, Star Wars shirts, and boxers.

A Big Green Egg....(it's a REALLY nice charcoal grill/smoker/oven/does everything, for those that have never heard of it).

We got a big green egg as a wedding present and we are beyond obsessed with it!!

I'm getting DH an xbox 1 and hopefully tickets to whatever bowl game Auburn ends up at as long as it's somewhere in the southeast

Rooskie87 · November 2014

I feel like we almost need a weekly craft check in with all the yarnia I've seen recently.

DH wants to learn guitar so I'm getting him a beginner set. I'm also making a calendar for his work with pictures of our cats. I will probably buy him a few new shirts and maybe protein bars for his stocking

3houlagirl · November 2014

DH is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for! He buys everything he needs, so he never really wants anything. But he does want an electric smoker, and I noticed it was circled in the Cabela's Christmas catalog, so I guess that's what he's getting.

I told him that if I get him the smoker, and he gets me a carpet chameleon, then that should be it. Those are two expensive gifts as it is, and DH tends to go overboard on gifts for me.

I got my FI a pair of steel-toed boots at Dicks for a little under $100 for his bday. He absolutely loves them and said they are way comfy. Clicky for linky.

He wants too much. His list includes a PS4, bolt-on power tools, and a Carhartt jacket. Well, its not too a lot, just costs a lot of money.

I don't know if you have any family or friends obsessed with Harry Potter but a Gryffindor scarf will get you some definite awesome points.

Totally just crocheted a Slytherin one for my niece a couple months ago!

My hubby wants Apple's new smart watch. I might also get him the full treasure chest of Harry Potter DVDs with 20+ discs (not sure on actual amount, but I know it's a lot) of bonus material, etc but we'll see.

Oo I like those! I'll have to show those to DH.

He has these ones right now:

They are little more pricey than I imagined so I'll see what I can do lol.

divinemsbee · November 2014

@cateyes543 If you're ordering from thinkgeek, you need to order waaaaaaay out. Last year their shipping was a clusterfuck even if you ordered in the first week of December. It took forever for H's stuff to get here. They have so much great stuff on the site, but the way their shipping works is a total nightmare.

@NachoBelley I want a Big Green Egg so bad! Am jealous.

@AprilH81 I got H The Simpsons house for our anniversary. Last year I did the Millennium Falcon for Christmas. If he really likes Legos, they also do Advent Calendars that are really fun. H has a dedicated set of shelves for his.

ETA: What I am getting H, duh. There's a semi-nice power tool set on sale at Home Depot this week, so I'm going to sneak out today or tomorrow and hopefully get one. He's wanted one for a couple of years. Probably another Lego set. Maybe some clothes. I love buying presents sooooo much, it's hard for me to make decisions.

Mackalack · November 2014

Something related to beer. He sent me a list, so I'll be boring and get him something from that. He did ask me not to go crazy, and I'm going to try to oblige. I just love buying things for people.

cateyes543 · November 2014

@divinemsbee‌-thanks for the information! I have never ordered anything at Christmas time from here so that is good information to know!

hydrangea1019 · November 2014

we are doing a shared couple gift for Christmas this year. We are going to splurge and get a nice TV for outselves.

ifeelgoodifeelgreatifeelwonderful · November 2014

@hydrangea1019 I like that idea! We just moved and I've been wanting a desktop computer so maybe we will do some kind of house gift for the both of us.

We usually just do stocking stuffers. His bday is Dec 17th so if I cheat on the stocking stuffers I usually just give it to him as a bday gift. This year is the big 3-0 though and so I'm throwing him a party and therefore won't be getting him gifts. His gifts are normally just clothes and boxers though since I swear he doesn't buy any throughout the year. I think I'll fill his stocking with boxers and beer.

MH just turned 30 this year too. I gathered a group together and surprised him with his college buddies with a night out

and then before his birthday he got to see his favorite NFL team play.

cluckster · November 2014

new boxers and socks and candy in his stocking (haha sounds so lame, but he actually likes getting these) and i'm also looking for an inexpensive beer fridge for the garage...he's always looking at those online.

christmas is going to be tight this year! we bought a house this summer, we now have 7 nieces and nephews to buy for, and our son's birthday is right before Christmas as well...

nerd alert: @pippacricket, yes the book series is called A Song of Ice and Fire... one of the books within the series is named Game of Thrones, which is also the name of the TV series....

singingsea · November 2014

He asked for a butt ton of superhero movies on blu ray and in 3d. Probably will end up getting him some cologne too.

PrimRoseMama · November 2014

We don't really exchange gifts between each other. I'll cook his Christmas favorites & enjoy each others' company. We get 3 gifts each for the kids. Most of our holiday revolves around watching movies, cooking & playing games.

Last year he got the Lego R2D2 (again, I couldn't bring myself to pay the money for the Death Star) but he mentioned wanting the Simpsons kit so that will be his big present this year.

Legos are awesome!!! We don't have the R2D2 yet but we have the Millennium Falcon, Super Star Destroyer, Death Star, Imperial Shuttle, and Republic Gunship. Yep we're nerds.

MissesFroom · November 2014

We decided to maybe buy each other something small and then take a trip to NYC together after the holidays to visit our friends! I am all for taking a trip over presents. I am more stressing over what to get my in-laws. H is never any help and they tend to get us nice (pricey) gifts, even when we tell them not to.... No ideas for them yet.

A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin is what you want for buying the books.

I have been buying a few things here and there for DH. He always outdoes me on presents. So far, off of the top of my head, I have bought a few little items for him: a Firefly hat, a Star Wars Tie Clip, A Shaun of the Dead Winchester Pub Pint Glass, a bottle of Scorpion Pepper Sauce and a Doctor Who Tardis Tie. We are big nerds!

CarolinaGirl83 · November 2014

We haven't exchanged gifts since 2007. W3 have to buy a ridiculous amount of gifts for family, so there's never anything left over to spend.
I asked to draw names between his sisters and their husbands this year, but my youngest SIL pitched a Bitch fit because she likes opening presents. She's 25 and married!! I'm trying to slim down my spending so we can put more money into our "buying a new house fund"

ecgal87 · November 2014

We are getting new counter tops and flooring. I'm going to try to convince him not to exchange between ourselves because we'll be spending quite a bit for all that. But if I was to get him something, it would be clothes. He never buys them for himself.

amberlynnexo · November 2014

Get him some nice work boots I'm getting hubby timberlands he lovessss timberlands

estakis · November 2014

This just got bumped so I figured I'd ask if anybody has any good ideas for stocking stuffers? DH doesn't like candy, so I usually get a small bottle of cologne or some beef jerky, some snacks. I'm running out of ideas. I feel like his stocking is the same year after year....Anyone got any cool ideas?

ETA: spelling

For stocking stuffers I always get him a pair of fun socks and a meaningful Christmas ornament. On top of that I also did one of those page a day calendars for his desk, some candy, a new pair of iPhone headphones (he goes thru those like crazy) and some new winter gloves.

acurtin713 · November 2014

DH is a BIG car guy so I'm getting him stuff for his car that he's been wanting and a GoPro camera

The Book of Mormon is playing here around Christmas/New Year's so I sprung for the tickets back in late September or October. They were expensive tickets! We have both wanted to see this musical for years but never thought it would actually come to OKC. When H first learned of it, he downloaded the entire thing on iTunes.

He'll spring for the fancy dinner after.

In the past I have bought him a new watch (my personal favorite, it's beautiful and he wears it every single day), a nice bathrobe (he's wearing that right now), a PS3 (we use it mostly for blu-rays, which is often). I like practical gifts most of the time.

We got Book of Mormon tickets last year for Christmas and it was awesome! You will love it

AFM, I have to get double the presents because DH's birthday is Christmas Day. I am thinking about getting him a nice new duffle bag for his soccer equipment (he coaches) since he has been carrying around an old nasty one. After that I'm out of ideas...

painttheair14 · November 2014

Hyrule Historia (Zelda book) and a Musashi art print (poster version because we're poor).

I love gift giving, but dh is a much better gift giver than I am. He always gets me the perfect thing I never thought of.

My first birthday when we were together was my 21st. I found out I was ktfu that morning (whoops) so he had to ditch his gift idea (alcohol) and got me ice cream instead. Ever since that, he's been phenomenal.

Are we married to the same person? That's what DH is like down. He's my own personal geek squad.

We're actually debating forgoing individual gifts and getting ourselves an Xbox one. We're both big gamers and have been dying to get one. If we don't do that, I'll probably get him some more seasons of the The Walking Dead (that's the next show he's working on collecting). I finished his Breaking Bad collection for his birthday.

spiltmilkz · November 2014

H and I fill each others stockings every year. It's little stuff that we need and some that we want. We get eachother silly stuff and practical stuff, ie. Small nerf guns, new toothbrush, chopsticks, deodorant. It works for us, we get stuff from both our families so we dont need to go all out for each other. Plus my favorite part is just opening all the small stuff from the stockings.

Ps. Every time I typed stocking I tried to spell it stalking... dumb.

indogbeersiveonlyhadone · November 2014

I asked DH what he wants for Christmas and he said "anal, I want anal" :-S soooo, I'm thinking of buying a strap on and giving him anal. b-( if after Christmas, no one hears from me.......

Micourtle2010 · November 2014

DH and I usually decide on purchasing something together instead of doing a gift(s) exchange like this year its a king sized bed and mattress! But I always buy him a new wallet as well, its small but something he always needs a new one of every year.

DaikokuJess · November 2014

Shit. I haven't even thought about it yet.

*frantically steals ideas*

wannabmama23 · November 2014

We weren't supposed to do gifts this year but I got a wild hair and got tix to see Neil Degrasse Tyson, with a meet and greet. We are big nerds and DH loves him, so it will be a fun experience.

We want to get king bed, too,@Micourtle2010‌ and talked about doing that for Christmas if we can decide what kind!

Want a personalized experience?
