Help! Quick gift ideas needed

[UnderProtest]

So my 12th anniversary is Sunday and I haven't gotten my husband a present yet.  I thought about suggesting we pick out something together, but I just checked our credit card and he has already bought me a gift.  So PLEASE give me quick gift ideas!  I can get to a Saks and some posh stores, but I don't have a clue what to buy!  

HELP!  I suck at gifts.

Well, silk is the traditional gift, with linen being the more modern. However, I can't help with gift ideas for either of those.

What's your budget?

Maybe a nice silk tie? 

The only thing I could think of was silk pjs or sheets.

Beer? Something with silk or linen in the name?

I bought Mr P silk sleep pants for our 12th.

Is there an Hermes store in your area? They have some great silk ties.

BBQ accessories?

Some new Arsenal gear with a free pass to go watch a game at a bar in Stamford? www.arsenal.com/usa/news/features/arsenal-bars

Cuff links?

Nice sweater, sport jacket, or winter coat?

I am NOT trying to encourage more time away from home!!!!

Ties are usually my go to gift, but I feel like I have gotten him a TON and he doesn't wear ties to work anymore.

Whatever you do, do not Google "silk gifts for men." I have made this mistake. Some things can't be unseen.

Southwest is having a sale, perhaps tickets for a weekend getaway!

Oh and budget is about $200.

We just had our 12th, and I was very happy with my box of nice chocolates, and childless dinner out (not on our anniversary because DH had a Hockey game). I think DH liked his bottle of bourbon.

What about an antique silk map? Maybe call antique stores in your area to see what they have.

I like the traditional gifts

Silk blindfold and restraints if you're into that sort of thing. Lol

I like this idea. One of DH's favorite gifts was a vintage art print of the place we met. I got it for him for our first anniversary (paper) and that one was destroyed in the flood, so I got him a new one for our 8th anniversary in a (bronze) frame. I also got him a Friday Night Lights #33 Riggins t-shirt because he loves that character. It was a bit of a joke but he thinks it's the best present ever, so I suggest a unique novelty tee.

For our recent 10th anniversary, I got tickets to a band we both liked in college.

I also saw these NYT 36 Hours books recommended somewhere recently: Europe or USA & Canada
