Hey Everyone,
My family is doing a Secret Santa and of course I drew my husband's name. What are you all getting for your SO? I know what he NEEDS but I want to get him something really special. Maybe if I see what you all are getting, it will give me ideas!!
I got mine a Redskins leather wallet and check book holder and then I want to get him a couple shirts (HATE the ones he has). LOL Oh and I got him a Redskins slanket.
I'm getting my FI a leather bag (similar to a briefcase but not with a hard case) for work. His current bag is falling apart.
A flying lesson (he's always wanted to be a pilot) and dinner out afterwards where I tease him over dessert by letting my sexy bra peek out of my shirt over dessert.
TMI? LOL...What I'm trying to say is that I got him a GPS last year so I wanted this year to be exciting !
since the wedding is only 2 months away we put a $50 cap on our christmas presents. I got him a ton of car washing stuff and a new wallet because his is falling part. exciting huh? haha
@ItalianLady: My FI wants to get his pilots license too! its in his 5 year plan for himself haha. what a great gift!
I'm getting my husband stuff that he really needs. but forgets to buy.
insulated socks
a nice sweater
shirts
undies
a movie
pajamas
Our favorite gifts are "activity" gifts.
Typically I always get him & I tickets to a sporting event, concert, comedian, or some other type of event that has a show w/in a month of christmas.
This year I'm getting him a bath robe, lol. We are doing a small Christmas b/c we are going to Paris for NYE, So this years gift isn't the best example, haha!
He got a motorbike recently to ride to and from work. It is only a 14 mile ride per day, but I feel bad when all he has to wear is a heavy sweater, not to mention the lack of protection a cotton sweater offers. So I got him a leather riding jacket over Black Friday at 65% off. :)
I gave it to him already so that he can begin wearing it, and I have peace of mind knowing that he is better protected now. Now he wants a matching helmet...
@ItalianLady: That was hilarious! Sounds like lots of fun for a guy -- flying and boobies lol.
I got my FI gloves he can use with his touch screen phone and a new warm winter jacket.
I may have to also get him a Jet's Snuggie/Slanket though. That would be really great.
@AnnieAAA: Oooooo Paris for NYe sounds awesome!!!! And so do event tickets. Sounds good. :)
I got him something to do with his stereo. I honestly didn't even know what it was lol. He was like honey I found this pre-amp? (i think it's what he said) and I want it for christmas. Lol it was super easy.
@emilygrace07: Lol nice. I know my SO wants an XBOX 360 and those games where you move around and follow the screen but I have no idea what to get. :( I'm still stuck in the 90s, I don't have an IPOD or any kind of console hehe.
@JewishBride: I was thinking that too. Tired of seeing my husband in raggedy old underwear lol.
I got his college diploma framed (that was the one he asked for) and I still want to get him some of the "essentials" that he wants/needs but never buys himeslf:
Socks, boxers, aftershave, undershirts...
Mr. G is graduating from school on the 22nd of December, and he has been eyeing some Tag Heuer watches. I'm getting the watch as a grad/Christmas gift combo, with some other things thrown in for Christmas that he needs/wants: books to study for board exams, socks, xbox 360 games, and a full stocking :)
Probably some games for his new xbox360 that he got himself last night. Although I may put a pair of naughty undies in the bag with them <3 him!
@DanielleZara: go for Call of Duty Modern Warfare or Halo Reach. I dont know a guy that doesnt love those games.
I got mine a really nice bluetooth headset for his cell phone (he got a new smartphone recently so anything that can go along with it will be a big win).
One of those things he would want and use, but won't ever justify the expense to buy for himself... which in my opinion makes the best gifts.
Here's the one I got:
http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Discovery-975-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B002JIMZU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291845106&sr=8-1
It's a tricky place to be considering I'm expecting THE RING by the end of the year, so really anything I get him is going to pale in comparison. :)
Well, I got him t-shirts, undies, a U of MN shirt, a long sleeved shirt, a gift certificate for a deep tissue massage...I'm getting his watch fixed and his 'fancy' present is a set of lowball crystal glasses from Tiffany.
He loves the movie "The Hangover" so I got him that, and he has been wanting a Manchester United jersey (soccer team) but he never buys it for himself because he's too busy buying me things (he's so sweet!), but since it's cold, I am getting him a Manchester United jacket, or hoodie..not sure yet lol I am ordering it right now.
@KatNYC2011: Oh thank you! What games are good with that, do you know?
Some undies for him to wear on our honeymoon. lol Why do I have to be the only one that has wear sexy lingere? 
I think I want to get him an iPad, but I'm kinda hesitant cause I guess they will probably be updating those in the spring-ish, right? Hmm... can't think of any other alternatives. :(
I got my hubby a new snowboarding bag. $100! But it was the last one they had. Its got pockets and room for everything: helmet, boots, gloves, googles, everything but the snowboard. He goes up to the mountain about 15-20 times a season though, and he's worth it. I always get him a couple pairs of underwear too, he likes the CK boxer briefs.
Jammie pants (everyone get those)
A new handgun
a few cook books
We originally were not going to do gifts but we changed pur minds.
an external hard drive that he wanted
rock band 3
and 2 other PS3 games (I totally forgot what they were because I wrapped them 2 months ago! they were shooting games)
and this axe gift kit at target that had 2 of the axe sprays and axe deodorant in it.
New gloves, a scarf and warm pjs. We decided to do low key presents this year.
His parents and I went halfers on this really expensive military watch (he is in the army) that can withstand extreme cold and does other fancy stuff I didn't pay attention to. I'll also be getting him some socks, razors, shaving cream. Maybe I'll get some cologne samples too.
@DanielleZara: Xbox Kinnect comes with Kinnect Adventures which is supposed to be pretty good. There's also been really good reviews on the kinect sports game and Dance central game. Kinnect motion sports and whatever the racing game is called (I think its Joy rider?) are supposed to be awful but other than that everything else has sounded pretty good. DH and I are collecting Christmas gift cards this year and then going to buy this for ourselves. It'd be a great gift and something you could do together. You use your body as the controller so you wouldn't have to be technilogically inclined :) Here's a link that may be helpful http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect
Nothing exactly present-wise. We are going to Las Vegas together on vacation so that is our present to one another :)
I got my husband a book of knots (tells you how to tie lots of knots for climbing and sailing), a GorillaPod tripod for his digital SLR, and the computer game Civilization 5! I also got him a few cheapie stocking stuffers. All in all spend about $150.
Socks, because he is a freak and socks are his favorite present. For real. :D
I am getting him a hot lather shave at The Art of Shaving and some UnderArmor shirts for when he goes golfing and it's chilly. Also because he looks really cute in UnderArmor.
I'm taking him on a Mexico cruise. He has tons of points saved up, so I'm going to pay the difference. I'm going to put together a photo album of his family pictures from growing up. A video game. And I think I'm going to sew him something.
