RN, finished most of my Christmas shopping! YEA! I went to Toy R Us and the shelves were nearly bare. Wanted to get a stocking stuffer type toy. It was just a Slinkey. Only one person I saw asked if I needed help. The idiot kid told me they were with the boy's action figures! What? Not one slinkey to be found. Actually, I don't think this young guy even knew what I was talking about! Oh well, all done except DH. He wants a new Camero, yea, sure go get one I tell him. He knows that I know he was only kidding.

RN I have absolutely no idea what to get my darling hubby for Christmas. He's not into any sports except for watching them on TV, he doesn't like cologne or jewelry, he doesn't read much anymore, and he doesn't play computer games. I'm totally stumped.

RN, I did this for my boyfriend one year...probably really lame for your hubby...but unless you've done it recently it might be different and cute I made him a booklet...you know the ones you see in the movies...like IOUs for different stuff. I put in like a night at the movies, night out to dinner, back rub, foot rub, "sexy night"... or I don't know if he's a real manly man, but you could consider getting him a massage and manicure/pedicure or just a massage or if he smokes cigars, could get him a nice pack of cigars...

Don't listen to Lancecrossfire, Twinkie. He's been on the farm too long playing that silly Survivor game. How about some Christmas jammies?
  New socks and/or underwear?
   How about some gloves, hats, or boots?

Oops! Hit the wrong button before I got the boots on there.
A new robe?
A nice jacket?
 Why not a hoodie or two?
 There's so much to choose from I'm sure he'll be happy with whatever's under the tree. After all, it came from you.

RN Twinkie, this is probably sounds lame for a present. But I will put it out there anyways. I'm so excited to find it! Bought some for my Sister and it's been difficult to keep my mouth shut before Santa! Acorn Unisex Polar Pair Slipper Sock http://tinyurl.com/3aslxf They may be a little ugly but so comfortable, warm and not confining, washable. Sis snagged a pair of similar Acorns for me about 8-9 years ago at a thrift shop. Geez so comfortable, warm and easy walking, even outside. I wore them out. Put some foot sole thingeys inside and kept wearing them until the tops started fraying away from the soles. Tried to find new ones and discovered they stopped manufacturing about 3-4 yrs ago, and I mean I scoured the internet in search of! Believe it or not, I STILL hung onto my poor down trodden slipper remnants, just in case someday I might get lucky. When Sis said she wanted slippers this Christmas, I didn't figure it would work but happened to google "Acorn". OMG! Apparently, Acorns are well known for their comfort. Maybe, when I get my tax refund...well, I'm sure that I deserve some too. Can't believe I finally found them!

Biscottiii, those look comfy and that sounds like a really good idea but . . . I'm sorry . . . I just gotta say it . . . those are really butt ugly and she's gonna get a lot more action if she follows my suggestions.

Is he at all interested in his genealogy or in his own familial history? Ancestry DNA package You send in a cheek swab and get a genetic map of where your ancestors have been for the last 150,000 years. Its a genetic roadmap, won't tell you who your Ggrandfather was. LOL This is something that will either hit the right buttons or not at all depending on his interest... my DH could care less. ETA: Other ideas: Digital picture frame (nice touch is to load the memory card beforehand). CD/radio for his office. Oh Oh, best gift I ever gave hubby... flying lessons. He is always talking about getting a license once he retires. Was very inexpensive, less then $100. They give you a couple hours of instruction then take you up in a small craft (Cesna) and you get to actually take the controls. Was a real thrill for him.

RN those are all great suggestions, but none of them would work for hubby. I sure appreciate all your help, though! I'm so stuck! We don't really do major gift exchange for each other because all during the year if there is something we want we get it and that's why it is so hard to shop for him! But we always get each other a little something. Nothing expensive, though. I've been racking my brain for days now! arggg!

RN - DH and I usually ask each other to make a little list and then we try to find a few things on the list, and throw in some fun stocking stuffer surprises too. and then it's a guessing game (for the giftee), which things on our list we got. Kinda fun, and takes a lot of the guesswork (for the gifter) out of it. This year I am really behind with shopping. I am so lethargic it's terrible. I think one of the things he wants I can get online. For the other stuff I need to trek to Walmart, etc... at this rate it will be Saturday before I get my butt in gear. Not feeling well today, sorry if I'm incoherent.

RN, Twinkie, could you do more the sentimental approach then, instead of something material? Is there an activity he likes but doesn't really get to do because you're not into it? Maybe you could get tickets for the two of you to see his favourite team, or band? Cook him a nice meal that he loves but never gets because you don't like it? Donners surprised me with a quiche for dinner once on my birthday... he hates quiche but ate every bite of it with a smile on his face, just for me. Maybe you could dig out an old photo from back when you were first dating, clean it up and have it framed nicely for him? Or a small scrapbook of all the movie stubs and travel tickets and hotel receipts, etc., that you might have kept over the years? (Sorry if they're all lame ideas, I've always been more of a "from the heart" kind of giver, lol)
