    Anything electronic.
    Thinkgeek.com has some cool stuff.
    Give him cash then go out shopping with him so that he will spend it on what he wants.
    Kindle is great if he likes reading.

    does he like beer? Bed, Bath & Beyond has a Mr. Beer home brew kit for about 30!

    cool idea

    You could still possibly go the video game route -- check out GameStop or someplace similar (or even Amazon, eBay, etc) to save money. My boyfriend and I buy most of our video games pre-owned (we are fairly new to gaming).

    What about concert tickets or something similar?
    Magazine subscription?

    If you want to go the practical route (underwear, socks, etc.), get higher quality than he would buy for himself. This doesn't have to be very expensive if you shop at places like TJ Maxx or keep your eyes peeled for sales.

    I think that good "guy" gifts was a bad way to put it...perhaps I'm more into the guy stuff than he is. Tickets to the superbowl i would go crazy for him....not so much lol

    If he likes video games, just get him the video game he wants! Yes, I know it's less than imaginative, but honestly you'll never get a bad response from a gamer, and often a far better one than something you consider thoughtful but he just doesn't want. Other than, you know, the whole not coming to bed at 2.30am because he just has to finish a level... :explode:

    By far this is the best idea.

    Honestly - I think you can skip the coupon book of "favors". Insteady buy 12 slutty lingerie outfits and tell him you've enrolled him in the Shag of the Month Club.

    Also saves on marriage counseling.

    :flowerforyou:

    Hell. Yes.

    BTW the socks and underware are just because I feel like socks and underware are necessary in a stocking, they aren't really a "gift"....

    I keep thinking of stuff that would be cool and then going "oh wait, i'm the one that wants that"

    I got mine a remote-controlled helicopter last year from Brookstone, and he was like a little kid...so excited! He still plays with it pretty often! (note...if you do this..buy the 'warranty' for like $5, because you can get a whole new one every time they crash & break it!).

    also very cool guys are just grown up kids and love toys of any kind especially it its motorized and makes noise!!! LOL

    Oh, and his brother AND my father-in-law were both so jealous, they went out and bought their own after seeing his! It was a very popular gift last year!

    For around 60 I'll be getting my husband the new Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3.. which ever he doesn't purchase for himself in the next week. Hoo boy. That's the easiest thing for me to pick for him knowing he wants both.. =/

    I'm pretty sure any man would enjoy if you bought yourself a sexy little get-up! I know my hubby would be THRILLED, which is why I am saving my penny's for a trip to VS... Merry Christmas, honey! lol

    Aww yes, a Christmas thong and strategically placed bow would be appropriate since it's the holidays.

    I got it....

    between the helicopter someone mentioned and thinkgeek.com i'm thinking a hodge podge of gifts including nerf guns for a nerf war, a handful of things from budk, possibly a similar thing to "shag of the month" and...he gets to unwrap me (that's probably what he'd be most excited about lol)!

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Unfortunatly he's not a "normal" guy so beer and sports don't work (it would be easier if they did!)

    Any more ideas for fun stocking stuffers would be fantastic though. :)

    I would probably spend more on myself on this site. I've been wanting the Darth Vader toaster for a LONG time!

    This will be my first Christmas with my boyfriend and I am DREADING it. The only other boyfriend I've had during Christmas never got me anything in the 5 years we were together (that would be why he is an ex). We haven't been dating too long but I know he will impress me. :love: Anything I can think off the top of my head is crazy expensive: music equipment, tattoos, car stuff... I hope we discuss it first. :/

    his may be a winner...he's def a geek

    Thinkgeek is awesome and they have tons of coupons codes and sales all the time - definitely sign up for their newsletter !

    I don't remember if you guys own a house, but if so then manly tools are always good if he's into fixing things (if you know what he needs). For my husband, successful gifts have been clothes, tools, hobby-related stuff, or the default gift card to something cool.

    Oh! If he's into nerdy/electronic stuff, check out http://adafruit.com ! I bought my husband an awesome DIY kit from there one year and he loved it (I think it was called the ice cube clock - it turned out awesome). Otherwise, there are a few other websites that sell electronic "kits" where it has all the components needed to do awesome fun projects.

    OK another question, can anyone recommend a good pocket knife that's not too expensive. I was thinking of a leatherman, but he already has one and uses it all the time so no need to get him a new one.
