Soooo....My fiance is being a butt about giving me a wish list for Christmas. All I can get him to admit he wants so far is cologne.
So. What do I get the man who already has everything he needs?
What are you guys dreaming of from Santa?
P.S. He's in his early 40's.
Thanks in advance! :buddies:

A nice new rifle or handgun, maybe one in cowboy action (lever rifle or single action wheel gun). :yahoo:

Gift certificates. Tool stores, outdoor shops, whatever he's in to.

That's one of the gifts I got him last year...

I'm not a guy, but I think in order to get better ideas, you need to tell us what his interests are:

Does he like technology:
iPad
Nook (or other ereader)
Upgrade his cell phone to a droid

Does he like hunting:
arrows
skinning knife
camo clothes
tree stand
hand /pocket warmers

Does he stand out as a metrosexual:
Here's the Situation: A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore book by the Situation
hair products
Men's skin care
A gift card for a manicure

Does he like movies:
This gadget is cool (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tv?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=OAS-US-KWG-AppleTV-US)

S'pose I could do that...I just hate gift cards/certificates. They seem so impersonal.

:lol: And men say they aren't difficult. If you narrow down your categories a little bit, (and how much money you are willing to spend) then you can get better input on actual gift ideas.

However, if he likes technology, I bought this for my husband previously and he loves it. It's a remote that can control anything that plugs in.

Good idea! I got hubby this one last year: Harmony® One Advanced Universal Remote (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/remotes/universal-remotes/devices/6441). We had to replace the older model Harmony remote that was duct-taped together after 5-6 years of use. The Harmony One works great and is not as bulky. It's all a matter of preference, though.

oohhh you should take a trip to the "toy store"...... two gifts in one!! :dye:

Ummmmm.....no.....I got him a RC helo for a BDay gift 2 years ago. It did nothing but fuel the fire for his desire for a helo pilots license. :cds:

Get him a gift certifcate for lessons.

Or get him one like I want, and lots of spare parts.

Soooo....My fiance is being a butt about giving me a wish list for Christmas. All I can get him to admit he wants so far is cologne.
So. What do I get the man who already has everything he needs?
What are you guys dreaming of from Santa?
P.S. He's in his early 40's.
Thanks in advance! :buddies:

How 'bout one-a-DEEZ?
YouTube - 8 sec gokart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhVhY_BAHJ0)

OR

You could wrap yourself in plastic wrap; sans fabric; and call him from the bedroom when he gets home in the afternoon; with a rolling pin under your pillow; IF he says, 'leftovers AGAIN?'

Bench grinder, many uses.

Boots, slip on, no laces.

Beer making kit, it is fun to make your own brew.

Air compressor, a must have man tool. Don't get the little one, get the next one up.

Subscription to Maxim, the articles are good. It has articles right?

Have his truck/car detailed unless it is a mini Cooper or a Miata. If it is one of those get the windows tinted instead so people can't see him driving it.

Skins tickets and tailgate materials.

Linkin Park is coming to town in February, and you can purchase tickets online. If he's into golf, one of the tourneys is in April if I remember correctly -- get him tickets to the Bethesda course.

I am a mid to late 40 guy...

Tickets to Redskins should be easy enough to get as they are not going to the playoffs. Ravens game vs Steelers in Baltimore would be a great time (I went 2 years ago and had a ball). Tickets to a Caps game if he likes hockey.

Charter fishing cruise for the summer if they have advanced sales

Reservations at a fine eating establishment in DC.

Bose surround sound system.

Reservations for a weekend retreat out of the area.

Helpful tip for all ladies:


The above is the BEST IDEA EVER for Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's Day/Thanksgiving/Easter/Memorial Day/MLK Day/Cinqo De Mayo gifts.

Never heard of this...how would one go about obtaining a year subscription to the lottery? He loves the lottery.

Maryland Lottery Subscriptions (http://www.mdlottery.com/subscriptions/)

A lot of these are really good ideas. Usually, for me, a gadget that does something cool does the trick, although my favorite gift is a surprise that shows she was listening even when I didn't know I was saying anything.

(e.g. one year I got a DVD set to a cancelled - and favorite - show of mine. I would never have thought of it)

I know one of the talked about gifts this year is the soda machine selling at Bed Bath and Beyond.


Might I suggest something else entirely?

Does he dress like a bum? Most guys tend to. A suit or jacket might be a good idea. Spring for something you wouldn't mind seeing him wearing.

Almost every guy I know likes a good leather jacket. I have about five (I think). I've always wanted a full length duster, but they're not cheap.

If he likes to cook, he probably likes to grill. Anything along those lines.

That's about it for stuff not mentioned already.

(p.s. Mig gave a lot of great ideas. Most of the stuff there, either my wife got for me or plans to)

LOL! And then invite you over for beers, right?!?!?!?

Well, if he gets good flying inverted, they double as lawn mowers / hedge trimmers. :yay:



*hic*

Well ya see, Sam....I spoil him rotten.
Last summer, I took him on a shopping spree for work clothes. Bought 6 new suits, to include matching shirts, ties, socks, shoes, the works. Even had them tailored to fit perfectly.
Just a month or two ago, we did this with jeans and polos, sweaters, crews, undershirts, underwear, jogging suits, tennies. Again, the works.
My man looks FANTABULOUS!!!!! (Yes, I know fantabulous is not a word.)
Last XMAS was the rifle and leather jacket, along with all the littler things, colognes, cd's, earbuds, IPod adapters for car, etc..His Bday (March) was Satelite radio for his car and the puppy he had been subtly been talking about...that took some work, let me tell ya.
I've been keeping my ears open, and can't catch anything---that's why I'm trying to get fresh ideas...of which I'm getting some good ones on here!

Does he have a Camaro SS yet?

Can't QUITE afford that...not yet. That's why I work 2 jobs....saving up for his BDay in March... LOL!

If he ever pisses you off let me know. I could use all that stuff.

Just yesterday I saw a gift I'd like to have.
With the new cell phone / driving laws, a lot of folks have gone to blue tooth devices. I have one and hate wearing it in my ear, but do so because I try to follow the law. Anyway, while riding with a buddy yesterday he showed me his new blue tooth device that is sort of like a garage door opener in that it clips to your sun visor in the car instead of wearing it in your ear. Speaker and Mic built right in so you're talking hands free without the bug in the ear. About $70.00 at verizon.

Like I said...he has everything! Got him that for Father's Day....LOL

Does he like it? I'm thinking about getting one.

2010 is the last year for Viper's without electronic stability control, so maybe a Viper in the driveway before the Fed takes all the fun out of driving them.

You know your getting long in the tooth when some underwear and socks are just fine,,,

Oh yeah and a case of Cheetos!

We have the same one and hubby loves it. Men and their electronics, I tell ya! :killingme

If he likes beer, and likes having friends over who also like to drink, you must buy him a kegorator. In the nice weather it's out on our deck and in the winter or when it's too hot out, it's inside. :otter:

And not because there is some other "best idea ever" for those holidays?


Why is gifting presents for guys so difficult? I can never get a wish list from hubby either. If he wants something he buys it himself! It's incredibly frustrating!

Yes, and I'm getting another one for wife. I really like it a lot and it is much less trouble than the ear buds...which look stupid anyway (IMO).

It sounds like he has everything! Maybe you should find another man to spoil!!!! I'm jus' saying....

and things for their car like the fancy carwash products, or detail kits, and they like magazines about cars trucks or motorcycles, I get hubby all of the above, he runs out of all of this stuff, and likes to try new versions of these products.
