Not sure about anything else as my mum usually gets the socks, underwear and pj pants and SIL and MIL will buy shirts and sweaters. He said he needs a new grilling set so maybe that too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265201 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 12:01:03 +0000 cmomma17 1265201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: my DH already bought himself this the day it came out. Grrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265170 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:48:54 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1265170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him a jacket and a cookbook. I'll get him some stocking stuffers too (stroopwaffels, chocolate orange, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265158 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:41:57 +0000 mrskc 1265158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him some new sweaters (yay Gap cash), an electric razor, and a steam gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265134 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:35:15 +0000 spaniellove 1265134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas is always tough because his birthday is a month before and he gets everything he wants then. He keeps hinting that he's hoping someone will get him something that indicates he's going to be a dad, so I tracked down the diaper bag he said he wanted and am going to fill it with gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265124 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:32:51 +0000 Mae 1265124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: the shoes were on the list for his mom! (although he put on there that it was "the tickle me elmo" of gifts and probably not worth the hassle to attempt to get). I know she won't get them because they are more than she usually spends, which is why i'm assuming she'll get him the watch on there bc that is the only other thing thats a "biggish" thing is more what she generally spends. the other stuff on his lists are all little stuff like $20 blu rays. Meh. haha. </p> <p>I'm sure I will figure SOMETHING out but ugh so difficult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1265114 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:30:50 +0000 fussygal 1265114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've bought him the 3 book box set of Alton Brown. He LOVES Alton. I think I'll also get him a few pairs of jeans and maaaybe a Kindle. I know he likes the idea of them but he really likes to have the real book. </p> <p>@Pepper: my DH really wants a headlamp, too!</p> <p>@Mae: can you steal ideas from the list he gave his parents? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264947 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:46:35 +0000 looch 1264947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: how clever about the ornament made from the material of the anniversary year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264939 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:43:29 +0000 septca 1264939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Patagonia fleece he really wants<br /> Books<br /> Turbulators<br /> Christmas ornament (each Christmas I get him an ornament made from the material of whatever the "wedding anniversary gift" for that year is)<br /> SmartWool socks<br /> new PJs<br /> cuff links<br /> a travel coffee mug from Shutterfly with pictures of DD<br /> swim goggles<br /> candle sniffer (this one is really odd, and it's more of a joke - every time he blows out the dining table candles he blows wax all over our hurricane lamps and I am sick of cleaning them!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264885 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:26:38 +0000 MrsTiz 1264885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and I went in together and got him an ocean kayak. I also set him up on a guided fishing tour and got him a fancy paddle. This is by far his most expensive Christmas yet, why is it that the older you get the more expensive the toys get? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264858 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:21:24 +0000 bunnylove08 1264858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wanted a new toaster and coffee maker. During black friday he picked it out and I bought it for him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264830 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:07:06 +0000 loveisstrange 1264830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went a little crazy on DH this year and got him a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet. He has had his eye on one for a while, but doesn't spend money on himself. It was definitely his turn for a big gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264824 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:04:12 +0000 Mae 1264824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: lol i know. On one hand it is super annoying because it's like… why can't you be normal and want normal things rather than things that are either super expensive and/or insanely hard to actually procure? </p> <p>But on the other he never actually says to me: Please get me x. It's just that I know him and I know that is what he wants and you can't help liking what you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264810 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:58:32 +0000 looch 1264810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Good luck with that! That sounds like my worst nightmare in trying to aquire a gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264804 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:55:58 +0000 Mae 1264804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: He's not so much into wearable tech. Also he asked for a specific watch and his mom is getting him that! (He makes lists for his parents but not me. not fair lol). </p> <p>There is ONE thing I may try to get him. He wants this specific pair of retro Jordans that come out next weekend, but they are VERY hard to get. Like get online and try the moment they are released and you probably still won't get them. And to make things more challenging the day they come out we'll be in the middle of the woods in a lodge with his family for christmas so i'll only have my iPhone and the 3g doesn't work terribly well out there! So I'm going to try but I'm thinking it is unlikely i'll be able to snag a pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264798 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:53:26 +0000 looch 1264798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: What about a pebble smartwatch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264797 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:52:16 +0000 heartonastring 1264797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got DH a leather messenger bag. Right now he's using an old laptop bag of mine to transport his iPad and lunch for work every day, so I wanted him to have something nicer.</p> <p>I also got him a ball cap from his favourite NFL team. Planning to get a couple other small things...probably a few shirts/sweaters from BR and maybe a ceramic pan (he wants one for making eggs).</p> <p>We're doing a fairly low-key gift exchange this year since I'm on mat leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas/page/2#post-1264796 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:52:07 +0000 Mae 1264796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Sigh, techy guys are the worst (lol). That is my issue with my husband. He isn't handy-- doesn't like tools. And smaller stuff like headphones or slippers or clothes he just buys himself. We're pretty free with buying ourselves stuff we want which means the only things he ever really wants are like, $500+ technology. Lame. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264792 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:49:05 +0000 looch 1264792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I think it is a total waste of money, don't even get me started on the refill cartridges!</p> <p>The thing is that he deserves some fun things and he's the kind of guy that likes new technology, so by default it is expensive. I could get him socks and he would be just as appreciative, but I feel like I should spoil him a little as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264785 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:46:58 +0000 sheskrafty 1264785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A table saw. He returns every gift he gets so he's the worst to buy for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264784 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:46:51 +0000 pui 1264784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Wow! That's a nice gift! My DH likes the Cube too, but I think he'd rather me hold on to that money lol. At least it's 3 gifts in one! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264779 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:44:50 +0000 twodoghouse 1264779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He needs new tires on his car, so that will probably be his whole present. Plus a few little stocking stuffers. We are planning on getting nursery furniture soon, so we will probably call that a Christmas present to each other. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264777 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:44:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1264777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure yet. At least a new set of ear buds, but other than that, I haven't got much of a clue.</p> <p>I will say, though, if your husband is a slipper-wearing guy, my mom got us all UGGS slippers last year, and it was seriously the best present ever. I never thought expensive slippers would be worth it, but we love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264776 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:44:34 +0000 pui 1264776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to get him a Juicer, but my SIL ended up getting him that. My next idea was one of those "Galaxy Gear" smart watches, but they're over $300. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264752 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:34:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 1264752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't exchange gifts; we buy something for the house we both would like, or an "experience" (fancy dinner out, night away at a nice hotel, couples massage, etc). Would he be into anything like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264722 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:24:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 1264722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are just doing stocking stuffers for each other so I got him: </p> <p>two DVDs (The Jackie Robinson film &amp; Gangster Squad)<br /> cologne<br /> GCs to fast food around his work for lunch<br /> Nice socks for work<br /> golf balls<br /> gum<br /> new eletric toothbrush<br /> Under Armor gloves </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-husband-for-christmas#post-1264679 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:03:32 +0000 looch 1264679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year my husband wanted The Cube, it is a 3 D printer, so he got that, for his birthday, anniversary and christmas gifts.</p> <p>eta: but if I had a budget of $200, I would get him a tool organizing drawer set thing. </p>
