What do you get dudes for Christmas who don't seem to show

[scottyderp]

much interest in material things?  Like outdoorsy types, who work with their hands?  Let's say they already have all the tools.  Let's say you've bought a shirt that matches their eye color 300 times already.  You want to get them something exciting and not lame.  They eat meat.  They drink coffee, rarely.  They work a lot.  HALP.

A yeti.

Cooler, tumbler or colster.


All outdoorsy men love them.

An experience - travel, tickets to a concert, a class in something he'd like to learn.

Or maybe there's something he would like at Best Made? I love this site. www.bestmadeco.com

[bittybomb]

What about an experience gift? One year for my husband's birthday I bought us a helicopter ride around the city. He loved it.

Man crate.

An "experience" in wilderness ie. drive him to the middle of nowhere and then yell "NOW SURVIVE" as you drive away laughing maniacally.

No?

I guess a GC to REI works.

[cuccaro]

Gift card to an amazing steakhouse. Weekend in a cabin. Tickets to something?

My H would probably love this, actually.

Mine would too!

Challenge Accepted!

I was just coming in here to recommend one of these. I bought my H a scotch themed one last year and he loved it. 

[crazycakes]

Is he into sports? I got DH tickets to an NBA basketball game last year and we made a fun date night out of it. Another year I gave him two tickets to one of his favorite stand up comics and he took one of his friends.

I like experience gifts for people who have everything/don't want anything.

Beard trimmer
Flannel
A goat, llama or alpaca depending on which is cheaper

We got a llama for $50 when I lived at home because it's mom stepped on it's foot and didn't want it. The farmer who sold it to us didn't want to take time to bottle feed it so we did.

Also, my DH has done some of these Make kits in the past and enjoyed them. It's like craft kits for dudes. www.makershed.com

I have no experience with this type of man. Sorry.

[dexteroni]

There are a lot of good ideas in here. I'm going to add this to the big MM gift ideas post.

ETA: Added. And maybe there are some helpful ideas in there pandce.proboards.com/thread/260586/mm-gift-guide

This is every dude in the Midwest.  Come see us, sometime!

My H specifically told me not to get him a Christmas present - that he'd rather have the money in the bank.

I AM OFF THE HOOK

[rachers]

A drone/toy helicopter
Second on anything yeti
Etched beer glasses
Beer making kit
Nice leather Dop kit
Watch

Guys are hard. This is why H gets his Christmas outfit as a gift every year

[wkatie]

A Patagonia puffer vest.

[jinkies]

My H is obsessed with good flashlights. He has a small but high powered one that costs around $100. He loves it more than his children.

Weather station?

Good pocket knife or utility blade? Knife sharpener?

My H is also obsessed with composting, so a compost thermometer and Mike mcgrath's book of compost have been hits in the past.

Every man in my family owns and loves the same lined work shirt from ll bean.

[lissaholly]

Obscure items that cost more than $25 that he can use while doing his hobbies. Or brand new technology with the same price point to, again, use with his hobbies. May least this is how I would approach my BIL- practical, but still a little techy.

[riverrider]

This is my first year with my outdoors loving guy and I am picking up a kayak. But he would love almost ever idea that has been given here!

I once bought an ex a truck load of dirt for a garden. He was ecstatic.
