We like outdoor stuff, so this year I got DH an AR 15, a different sight for it, metal swing targets. Still going to get a couple sweet, simple gifts now. That's what we do. A big gift and small sweet gifts! We got 1 tonight to both of us, for our family! An ornament at the mall kiosk of us 2 and all the kiddies names including the new LO, labeled across snowmen. We adore it!

I also usually get things like thermal socks, any new hats or shirts/pants he wants. Anything flashlight, knife or fishing related is good for my DH for either gifts or stocking stuffers. He loves G Shock watches too.

Good in general ideas are a favorite show series or movie on DVD. Video games, wallets, belts, books, tools, camera equip, iTunes card, fun couple coupon books, new facial groomers, shot glasses, family Christmas ornament, sports collectibles or memorabilia like mini helmets or throw blankets, CDs for car rides to/from work. Maybe even burned CDs of his fave song, or your favorites together.

This year I got DH a fire pit for outside, a new watch, a belt, clothes, dvds, tools and books he's been wanting. I also am making him two ornaments to recognize our angel babies this year and possibly a daddy-to-be (again) ornament. For our anniversary I am already planning to create some artwork that includes our vows that we can hang in our room. 

EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves

I got my DH a Playstation Vita  with Assassins Creed III.  He has been wanting one since he flies a lot and does not love reading like I do.

I got mine a new tablet a few months ago, and he knows that was for Xmas, just very early.  I am getting him some accessories for it, a pair of leather gloves (he ruined his good pair last winter) and some books he mentioned that he really wanted (bet he thinks I forgot all about them).

He is getting me a camera.  Actually, I asked for it becuase I wanted a better one, with faster shutter speed, for a combined Xmas and birtheday (since mine is in January) and ordered it myself.  That might be a good idea for a present, especially as the baby gets older - fast moving 2 year olds are hard to catch on the cheapie $150 point-and-shoot cameras.

This one was hard. My hubby wanted one thing all year which he bought for deer season. A new rifle. I didn't want a thing but the nursery redone which I'm getting lol. So we are not really exchanging major Christmas gifts this year, we got each other small ones. For DH it included a "daddy book", and an ornament for our first Xmas together. For me, I know he got me a few things off the registry and if I want something else I'll pick it up. Niether one of us like the surprise aspect for each other. So this holiday will be perfect.

I got my husband new sneakers, sipping stones (he's a whiskey drinker), t-shirt and hat with our college logo, PSP Vita, and Assassin's Creed - Revolution for the XBOX.

An Xbox 360.
His broke last year and he misses it.

Aren't you doing small, stocking stuffer, type gifts?
If so, you could try cologne, razors, small gift cards, homemade candy...

DH is in med school and mentioned a few months ago that he wanted an otoscope (the device you use to look into patients' ears). With the help from one of his friends, I was able to access the medical equipment company they all use, AND get the student deal (which is still ridiculously expensive-this will be his xmas and birthday present combined!)

 I wanna get DH an old school shaving kit. It has the little thing you brush the cream on with, and the straight razor, and I know I want to find a little towel warmer thing to go with it.

Well it would be hard for us to pick out a present for your DH since we don't know him. :)

We're on a budget this year. He loves tools and gadgets. He lost his beloved pocket knife a year ago (he used it for EVERYTHING) so I bought him a really nice leatherman multi-tool and a sheath.

He gets a stocking too, so I got: cologne, a calorie counter thing for his bike, candy, warm socks (his request), a star wars mug (lol) and a few other little things.

My husband is a heavy duty mechanic and when I asked him what he wanted for Xmas cause I had no ideas, he told me Snap On (a tool brand). I said well give me a list then, so he did so that is what is getting, but he is hard to shop for too, he has everything.

oh I was saying that Hannukah is more of a "stocking stuffer" gift holiday and that you don't get big gifts everyday for those 8 days.

So far new sneakers and a book. I still have to get stocking stuffers. We don't really go too crazy on Christmas.
