Two xbox games, a belt, socks (just because he needs them), running shorts, and a stocking full of his favorite candy. All things he told me he wants. Christmas is easy this year!

I just placed my Amazon order for DH. I got him:
a fitbit (he lost his old one in Vegas) a foot callous remover thing (sexy!) a "World's Okayest Dad" T-Shirt a book of science experiments to do with your kids
I'll probably also pick up some pistachios and small candy items for his stocking.
I asked an artist friend to do a painting of the lighthouse where we got engaged. I said I was open to anything, that I like her style, and would be up for however she wants to interpret that suggestion. I just saw a photo of it; she just finished it, and it is AMAZING. Ended up being 30 x 40, and I imagine it will go in our living room. Can't wait to give it to him. It's an oil painting, and is still curing, so I'll get it in about a week. Our anniversary was the 3rd, and the painting will be a joint anniversary and Christmas gift.
I also just ordered a JCrew Factory sweater and will get a couple other small things for under the tree.
Obviously that wasn't my original intent, but I ordered UK editions of a few books I thought he'd like and they obviously sat out on a loading dock during our recent rainstorm or something. By the time I got the package, the box had completely disintegrated and the books inside were soaked since they weren't packed with bubble wrap or any kind of plastic whatsoever.
So, I now have to deal with trying to get replacements that will be unlikely to make it before Christmas Day.
He's also getting a couple of sweaters and a cologne sampler. Need to figure out a few more things now that the books are a bust.
A leather Fossil messenger bag - he has wanted one for years and is hopefully starting a new job just after Christmas. This is his splurge item so it may be the only thing other than some Captain Morgan Black rum and Spicebox whiskey.
His birthday was last month and I bought him an entire new wardrobe. Freaking expensive.
Hiking boots Two pairs of Levi's Two pairs of duluth trading co fire hose work pants (one fleece lined) A microwave egg maker thing for egg sandwiches (circular so they're like mc muffin eggs)

A new winter coat, under armour hoodie, phone case, and a couple of Ravens shirts. Oh and socks and underwear! He is now trying to talk me into a new Xbox. Not happening, H!
I got DH the NFL Man-Crate www.mancrates.com/crates/nfl-barware and some belts so far. I want to get him the Xbox 1 Call of Duty but I haven't found it in-store and it's crazy expensive online for what it is. I might bite the bullet anyway, or else I'll get him the "lesser" version. The usual suspects of cologne and clothing.

I don't have a husband, but I'm getting my BIL the Back to the Future trilogy on DVD and this car charger. And Paul Simon - Graceland on vinyl. (He collects vinyl albums).
I hope I have convinced him not to exchange. I love him, but gifts are not his love language.
I'd like to take the money we'll save by not exchanging and apply it to some home renovations that we've been meaning to do since we moved in (5 years ago...)
A pair of Sperry's he wanted Football cards (he collects them) Laptop bag for the new laptop he is getting Maybe a new iPad cover if I have enough $$ left in my budget for him
