    I asked my husband what he wanted and I bought it! Very easy and no worries about getting something he won't use. My only rule is I will not buy something thoughtless like video games or books. Or gift cards. I'm fine with that from other family members and vice verse but I really like to make it personal for my hubby!

    My sweetie mentioned that he needs a new drill & circular saw, so I think I'm going with that. I also saw a variety 12 pack of sam adams, I may wrap that up and put it under the tree! LOL

    My boyfriend is a movie fanatic so that always works. Plus video games, tickets to concerts he wants to go to, tshirts, wallets, lighters of those bands, books about his favorite people, a bottle of his favorite liquor he never gets, cook books which he likes, a nice pocket knife. My boyfriend is pretty easy to please for the most part, it just has to be something that is his taste. It's really hard to shop for men but hopefully he is easy to please :)

    It depends on what your guy likes ... Mine has gotten everything from a Roman helmet (complete with horse mane topper) to a vintage 1974 Star Wars playset. I just go with my gut instinct.

    that would work for me!
  • My husband and I are really into tattoos, so I got him a gift certificate to our tattoo shop. It should be enough for a pretty decent sized tattoo also. And the cool part is, he (and I) can enjoy it forever. Gotta love body art :)

    I also got him some clothes (God knows he won't go clothes shopping on his own) and stuff for his '56 Chevy Bel Air that he's remodeling.

    That is so cute. I bet you're not married or have kids!! My husband would love that, but I got him a few gift cards, a nice coat, and a dinner out without the kid!

    See, for my husband, video games ARE thoughtful. It's his hobby, and he really enjoys it, but he doesn't like spending money on games because he'd rather buy things for the kids. And I'll buy him game-related stuff too. He loves that kind of thing. It all depends on the guy.

    I was having this issue with my boyfriend, because we haven't been dating long so I don't know him THAT well, plus I don't want to get too personal, ya know?
    Couldn't go with gift cards because he hates shopping, so I ended up just getting some chocolates and some fun boxers I found - one is 3D and one glows in the dark. Plus a few scratch tickets!
    Then I found something online and ordered it for his birthday - a scratch-off world map. So when you visit a country, you scratch it off on the poster, and there are pretty colors underneath :) He loves travelling so it seemed perfect!

    with my hubby, books aren't thoughtless. he reads all the time!!!!!! unfortunately, 85% of that time he's in the bathroom....

    They aren't thoughtless with my bf either :)
    I've bought him books this year as he loves to read and write. He's around halfway through his own book that he's hoping to finish and get published some time next year so the more reading material the better!!! Plus the author of the ones I've got him is his favourite :D

    With his presents I usually just ask him what sort of stuff he's after lately if I'm unsure. I do like there to be some element of surprise so I usually get him to tell me vaguely what sort of stuff he'd like. Either that or I'll ask him what he'd really like, buy that, and then get something as a surprise too that I think he'll like, that way you can't go wrong :)
  • Does he like weightlifting? Then get him a pair of adjustable dumbells. Sports? Tickets or a league pass of some sort. I personally don't like anything that requires you to sit on a couch and I drink often anyways, so no need to get more alcohol for a gift. If you are on your goal of losing weight, some relaxation gifts for yourself and him (or just him) would do great such as massages, golfing, hiking, or whatever. The holidays are a time for rejoicing and being thankful for your family, so if you don't get to do that alot the rest of the year, make that your primary goal. Material things can always be given throughout the year. Good luck!

    Men are not the same as women. We kinda care what we get. . . they don't seem to. I mean I could have given my husband a block of chesse, which he would probably like more then his treasure chest, or I could give him a hug and he wouldn't care. Really anything. .

    I don't do what I find thoughtless like games or books or gift cards either. It's not personal enough for me. . . he thinks I over do gifts to him. . . I think i care!

    That's so true. I asked my husband what he thought of that idea. He said as long as it wasn't under the tree Christmas morning when the kids got up. :blushing: :smooched:
  • I literally saved an email from when my bf and I FIRST met where he was talking about how much he wanted a portable record player and then ordered the one he wanted (he had included a link in the email) for him for Christmas. Then I got him a pair of his fave jeans. We did Christmas with my family last night (his family get's actual christmas this year) and he was SO EXCITED when he opened it - it was the best ever.

    I just try to make note of things he says he wants throughout the year and then when it comes time to buy him a gift it's pretty easy.

    :-D
