For those that exchange gifts this time of the year, what are you planning on getting your sig-o? I am a little stumped this year and am leaning between a couple ideas, one of which involves baby. Any thoughts on doing baby-related gifts?
My baby idea is a hiking backback in which he can carry our little one in on hikes once he's old enough. My non baby idea is this camera lens attachment that will enhance the zoom (I bought him a nice zoom lens for his camera for his birthday, which he really likes (he likes to take pictures of nature when we hike). The Best Buy salesperson told me about this attachment that will enhance the zoom even more, without having to upgrade to the next level lens (which is another $500 to $1,000. So, yeah, the attachment is what he's getting next vs. a new lens!)
I also found these artisan dark bourbon cherries for manhattans (My hubs likes a good Manhattan) that I think I will use as a stocking stuffer. I'll probably also get him some cute/soft ironic T-shirt. I have my eye on a couple.
What are your ideas? Also...who is giving baby-related stuff? I personally would love that, but I'm not sure if the hubs will or not. Thoughts?

I think the baby backpack is a great gift!
Like @valerie4786 we will still be doing stocking stuffers. I'll give him $20 cash to spend on mine and vice versa (I balance the checkbook, etc. so it has to be cash so I don't figure out what stuff is based on where he shopped).

DH is really hard to shop for, as he likes to splurge at Christmas but then gives me $5 and $10 gift ideas. Last year I spent 2 hours in Kohls scouring for ideas. Every time we adopt a pet he gets a coffee mug with their pictures on it, but this year it came out looking chintzy I found several seasons of the Big Bang Theory for $10 each on Black Friday, and I'll look into some items for the garage but I don't even know what he wants, let alone what he needs.
Wire tree statue sounds like something my H would like. (He loves all things nature.) did an artist make it, or did you buy it somewhere else; if it's the latter, do you have a link?

- Sterling caviar (also same as every year)
- gift certificate to have some clothes made at Proper Cloth
- maybe a baby backpack, although I might let my parents buy that for him since they're always desperate to know what to get him

He has mentioned a few things recently: new running shoes (really needed!), Ray bans, tools. It'll be one of those although honestly he is so bad at gifts that we will each pick 1 thing we want & get it. No surprise but also no disappointment

I'm bumping up this thread because I went to buy this camera attachment I referred to in the original post and it is $450. I was thinking it would be $150! So, I'm back to square one on ideas!
