What are you getting your H?

[DotAndBuzz]

Set of espresso cups
Target sweatpants
carwash gift certificates.

We're fancy y'all.

[noodleskooze]

A remote controlled flying shark.

[noodleskooze]

But really...socks and two belts. A shark would probably be better.

Two pairs of duluth trading co fire hose work pants (one fleece lined)]

These are exactly the 2 pairs of work pants I bought my H! I sent them to him up at work and he can't stop talking about them, lol. He blew through his Carharts SO fast, I hope these are better.

[compassrose]

a bottle of wine he's been lusting after, socks, underwear, and a new shirt.

[Mashara]

Rockport slippers
Two 1/4 zip sweaters
Anker portable power charger for his iPhone
Wireless speaker for his iPhone
A couple books off his Amazon wishlist

Two pairs of Levi's

A microwave egg maker thing for egg sandwiches (circular so they're like mc muffin eggs)

Where are you getting the fire hose pants from?  Directly from Duluth or have you found them elsewhere?  And which style(s)?

Also - has he worn them before or is this his first pair?  Sorry for all the questions.  Thanks in advance!

Good to know.  I was thinking of getting some for DH and maybe my dad.

[agnes]

NOTHING. He is the hardest person to shop for.

[firedancer49]

Dress pants and a sweater. Jeans and a half zip. Meat claws. A new laptop bag that he really wanted from travel pro. Patriots jersey. He also just asked for a scale so I may do that too. Then stocking stuffers and if we have money left over a new pillow.

[SKP82]

After looking at this list, it's a lot of boring stuff.

A tie, socks, and Under Armour boxer briefs
New pair of Crocs (he wears when doing yard work/around the house)
Facial hair trimmer
Grill brush
Super high heat resistant oven gloves
Sandalwood Skin Food
Thinking Putty
Bourbon
To the moon and back tie bar (in sterling silver from DD)

I will get him the Jawbone UP3 when it comes out.

[prettyinpink]

His birthday was the 29th and he got a TV that was his Christmas present too.
Also:
Infrared thermometer for cooking
Tool bag
Some stocking stuffers.

I'd do more but he lost his job yesterday

[SKP82]

prettyinpink I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

PS4, some PJ pants, and those superman slippers someone just posted. Maybe some candy for his stocking

[lexxasaurus]

Complete series of How I Met Your Mother, and expansion for a board game we love. Those are the more expensive things, and the rest of it will be shirts, gift cards, stuff like that.

[So_Fetch]

He was no help this year...didnt mention anything specific. So he is getting some big cordless tool set thing, a hoodie, and new pots and pans (he is the cook).

His family has a lake house and a catalog with this board just fell in my lap. The craftsmanship is outstanding and it shipped quickly.

Thank you for sharing this!!! It's too late for this year, but for his birthday or next Christmas I'm totally doing this. His family has a cabin too, his mom grew up on that lake. DH and I met one summer when I got a job at a local resort there (where he was also working). We ended up marrying there too. Lots of meaning to that lake for him and us, and he loves cribbage. This is perfect!!!

[KKD]

Well, H ended up buying himself the wetsuit I was planning on getting him, so now he'll be stuck with some new clothes, a TBD casual winter coat and snow boots. Boring!

[05heel]

A basement. That's his gift for the next 60 Christmases.

I know you didn't ask me, but figured I could answer I bought straight through Duluth and they have had awesome customer service. I bought him a pair of the Fire Hose Work Pants and then a pair of the fleece lined Fire Hose Work pants. We (H) haven't tried them before but after going through his Carharts so fast we didn't want to just keep buying the same thing. H has had them for 4 days and loves them so far. He said the "no ouch crouch" really is great and not something he had necessarily noticed before, but likes now that he has it. H wears his work pants for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 8 weeks at a time - just for a frame of reference of how much he uses them. He takes 3 weeks off and then he's back into his next 8 week rotation. He's a carpenter who works on the Alaskan pipeline, so he's in the cold and other various extremes. He said he really likes all of the pockets for his tools, radio, etc - but be aware that the fire hose jeans do NOT have all of the extra pockets, only the work pants. If all else fails, they do stand by their product and say 100% satisfaction guaranteed. So far they appear to be worth the money!

[amberlyrose]

DH is getting two pairs of shoes, pants, and a nice button up shirt.

[blackcat]

Adidas running shirts (PP who mentioned running shorts gave me the idea . He likes to run)

A PS3 game

Some specialty beer

Stocking stuffers like holiday lotto scratch-offs, candy, maybe a book, and an AMC gift card since he loves the movies

[Dezi]

A home cider brewing kit
A watch
Socks
Wireless headphones
Stocking

[underwaterrhymes]

I got him a scotch sampler, a shower Bluetooth speaker, the CAH Kwanzaa thing, and a ukelele starter kit. Oh, and a Chicago ornament.

Thank you! My DH likes to go through a lot of trees, thick brush, etc... and hope fully these will be good for that. And my dad does a lot of manual work. Hopefully these help!

[sapphireblue]

Basically nothing. I got him a cheap little dashboard clock for his car since his clock doesn't work. That's it.

We paid a lot of $$$ for this baby (IVF) so we just agreed last night that is our gift to each other.

[flamingeaux]

As of last night, a boot to the ass. If he apologizes for being a complete dick, that may change.
ETA: he has apologized, so now I have to figure out a present.
