He wants this $100 John Mauldin subscription that keys him into investment opportunities. He is such a nerd. <3 I will make it more fun by throwing in some nice alcohol and a sweater (he frequently asks me to help him shop but I never have time anymore).

I'm all out of ideas too. Plus a little ticked about the disparity of gift giving lately. I'm a gift person and he is being a major slacker. Sooooo, he might get coal.

Haha. I basically have to write him a very detailed list, product, size, color, store that he can find it in, etc. to get anything good.
We usually don't shop for each other, but I just really want to get him something this year since he doesn't buy much for himself. And I think he's secretly getting me something against my wishes. I'll probably only get a couple things from this list though:
Valentine 1 radar detector Prada shoes New Suit jacket Some carbon fiber parts for the interior of his car

He wants a dslr, but that's out of the budget. I'm thinking of getting both of us an iPad Mini to share. He wants something small to web surf and use apps and I want it to read on. But something to share is kind of a shitty gift so idk. Stocking stuffers will probably be iTunes gc, Obama action figure and some other little things.

Oh, when he tries, he can give some very nice stuff. He just isn't trying.
Ugh, I have no idea. I'm usually pretty on it for gifts for him, but I'm on a stricter budget this year. And I no longer have my sweet employee discount.
I know he wants a new video game, but I like to get him more personal stuff like slippers or a watch. We'll see what I come up with.

Mr. WF has been very into fountain pens lately so I'm currently figuring out which one to buy him. He has many talents, but keeping track of small items is sadly not one of them (he loses gloves/umbrellas/etc at an alarming rate) so I know that this fountain pen will end up making its future finder very happy pretty soon. But it'll make Mr. WF happy in the short term until he loses and then replaces it.
We are lazy and/or boring and don't really do gifts. I feel like we are fortunate enough that we can buy everything we need and most things we want throughout the year, so we save our gift giving budget for other people.
I am sort of over exchanging gifts with DH. He hates gift-giving and gift receiving, and it takes the fun out of it. We had a discussion recently about prioritizing travel, so we will likely do a weekend away somewhere instead.
No idea. Probably cologne, and some Big lebowski themed pencils I saw on etsy. Maybe a gift card to Office Max because he is very particular about his pens. Oh, and some American Crew hair gel and one of those Axe gift sets you see at Target.
I'm thinking new leather gloves. The pair I got for him a few years ago are on their last legs. He wanted a new lens for the camera, which he just bought. We tend to just buy what we want for ourselves, so this year is a little harder.
some new cologne since we can't find his. Um..... besides that maybe clothes? I know he wants a new prop for the boat but the one he wants is super expensive. We are impossible to shop for since by now we pretty much have what we want.

Seriously though we're mostly lazy.
This. We mostly skip Christmas for each other and just do for families. Then we buy each other a nice birthday gift. Last year I found a few things we both wanted while shopping (new wine glasses, new throw blankets for the couch, etc) and threw them under the tree with both our names on them.
