what are you ladies getting your DHs? - I'm stuck... need ideas please!

my2monkeyboys wrote: My DH is one of those that pretty much buys what he wants when he wants it, like the new XBox 360 game he bought himself last month! Sooo, I'm very stuck on ideas. He doesn't like anything really sentimental/girlie, he has most every cd/movie he could want. I'm looking for something kind of small ($10-40), as I've gotten him a new cd player/speaker system for his big truck.
Any ideas?

boyohboyohboy replied: I got my dh a psp to take on the road with him when he has free time between loads to play games. I know you wanted something a lot cheaper but he totally loves this thing. and he can put music on it, and pics, and do internet stuff too..

i always get him clothes too

CantWait replied: How about clothes, a book such as a bathroom reader, a cd case.

ZandersMama replied: i think mine is getting a laywer

maybe a fave cd to go with the cd player?

C&K*s Mommie replied: a gift card to a gaming store so he can buy some games for his new X-Box?

I hope to get Chris the Rocky Anthology movies, he plans to see Rocky Balboa during the Christmas holidays.

grapfruit replied: Maybe a shirt or sweatshirt of his fav sports team? I like the idea of a GC to a gaming store for him to PICK a game that he wants. (those boys alwasy find SOMETHING they like)

As for me, I'm getting my bf an electric guitar (w/case), an OSU coat, an OSU throw (that's just how it turned out) and the Bob and Tom CD set ManBoobs. <--sorry if that's not something that should be on here, but that's seriously what it's called.

paradisemommy replied: i got mine one of those crank flashlights that you can use in an emergency..he loves stuff like that!!

Kated replied: Mine likes things like Lord of the Rings he like the swords and stuff so I got him the Fighting Knives of the elf guy!

redplaydoh replied: This year we aren't exchanging gifts between ourselves, it's just for the kids. But last year I bought him one of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers and he loved it and since bought another one.

Maybe a gift card to someplace he likes to shop?

gr33n3y3z replied: I have something in mind but I will have to see if it plays out

my2monkeyboys replied: I'd like to get him kind of long water-proof coat, but I'm not sure if I can find one I can afford. Most are around $100+. He works outside a bit, even though he drives a truck, bc he loads/unloads cars. When it's cold and wet he is just miserable all day.
I may go with the GC idea to a game store though. He can even wait and use it next Nov when Halo 3 comes out, if he wants.
Oh, I forgot, I always get him the seasons of Aqua Teens, too. I need to see if the new one is out.

Thanks for the help guys!

TheOaf66 replied: all these guys getting X-Boxes and PSP's

Calimama replied: I just got him the PSP.. that was supposed to be for Christmas but oh well. So I got him the third part of his favorite game and a video mp3 player. Beyond that I have NO clue.

sparkys2boys replied:
did you ask Santa for one..lol??? If you've been good you never know..lol!!!

TheOaf66 replied: no I wouldn't ask for that, way to pricy right now

Kaitlin'smom replied: Well the things he know he is getting is a part for his computer, KI season pass, another jersey and if can get it a wii. I have a couple small things for his stocking and Kait will go shoping for him saturday at school.

coasterqueen replied: I don't have a cheap gift, but the latest thing that I've seen is women buying their men platinum wedding ring if they had a gold - so if they are wearing a platinum watch their ring would match. Kinda cool, I guess.

Dh only wears one kind of watch or I may have thought about it for him.

I talked my boss' wife into doing that for her husband this year.

luvmykids replied: I'm getting all the guys on my list one of those new Black & Decker little handheld electric saw thingys....I got my dad one of those portable car charger/generator/emergency thingys.

For the coat you might be able to find something from Carhart on sale, they aren't necessarily waterproofed but they're great in the rain, even if they get wet you don't.

my2monkeyboys replied: Thanks! I'll check those out!

jem0622 replied: DH got a 'throne'...aka Microsuede Rocking Recliner

He is very happy with it! And everyone knows that it is Daddy's chair! The other thing that I'm thinking about is a Wii, but I haven't been able to find just the console anywhere and I cannot stand in lines. I am not paying outrageous money for it like the lackeys on eBay. Sorry! Regular price, please!

DHs bday is two days after Christmas, so that is what I was thinking of doing for him (getting the Wii).

my2monkeyboys replied: I think I've decided, at least on a couple of small things. Since he's outside so much, I found some flannel-lined jeans at J. C. Penney's that will help keep him warm. After thinking about games (I was thinking of XBox games, then it evolved), I remembered that he loves chess, and I found this cool version where you play from all 4 sides of the board, so I'm going to try to get that as well.
Depending on the money situation, I may get him a little something else for his stocking, too.
Thanks for the great ideas!
