It's a stupid thread. Ex: "What's a good boy gift for the elementary set?" or "ISO gift for tween girl". It perpetuates strict gender roles, and that's not OK.

My husband tends to mostly like “guy stuff” plus cooking. I can ignore any bad fit ideas and mine the good ones

If he likes to grill, then a high-end instant-read meat thermometer. They got for $50-100.

My DH wants an Albion sword for Christmas.

I don't think this is universally relevant to all husbands but, if you're married to a weirdo, like I am apparently, maybe this is for you.

Saxx (he *loves* them but would never spend the money himself)

nice whiskey

non-fiction books

art items for his home office

gardening items - lemon tree one year, specialty pruning shears, nice gloves, etc.

My ex swears by his Tilley hat. They are guaranteed for life.

“Lulu” and “sneaks”. This has to be a wife.

Nah.

I use 'lulu' because it is the stock ticker that I have a made a lot of money on. "Sneaks"? W/e.

I’m a man and a husband and I just want time with my spouse and my kids no phone. Maybe go see a movie on Christmas Day. I don’t need more stuff.

And to me it is Christmas. I don’t need Bacon of the month club because we make four Lbs of bacon every Sunday!

My DH likes practical stuff like Go Naked boxer briefs, socks (no specific brand), White tees from Uniqlo, etc.

He’s not particularly picky which is nice and annoying lol Very hard to come up with new ideas. He never really asks for anything.

Things I get him just because without him asking for it: Massages, dress clothes (nice shoes, blazers, ties, shirts, etc.), cologne, hair and skin products, sporting event tickets (big football fan), curated photo albums of us and the kids (he’s big on memories/ nostalgia), and gourmet candy (huge sweet tooth).

I mix it up but mainly stick to his basics.

Apparently you can never have enough socks

Googling "Bacon of the Month" club.

electronics that he wants but wont but for himself
fresh running shoes
clothing

I’m getting my DH sneakers. He needs to up his shoe game & he knows it, so I think he’ll be happy
