I got mine books (for fiction I just picked the latest thrillers in hardback at the B&N -- I pick recent release hardbacks because if I don't I often buy something he's already read, and I also got him a nonfiction book about National Parks to visit), a wool hat with a light in it for running at night and walking the dogs at night, and a new wallet (his was starting to downright embarrass me with how raggedy it looks -- I'm pretty sure I bought it for him our first Christmas together, lol, which was over 20 yrs ago).

I still want to get him some tshirts that aren't raggedy (yes, there is a theme here, lol), and a new water bottle. But we'll see if I manage to get around to it. What I've got so far is fine.

I want the gift of not having to think of a gift I don't want.

You want the gift of being a dickhead.

And I think they already have at least one version of it.

We have shared digital list (ongoing for gifting occasions). I pull things from his list. He even puts thing like color and clothing sizes, or specific models for gadgets, and many times he puts a link to the exact thing he wants. My kids and I do the same. Everyone is happy. For the kids I usually gift then $100 bill in addition to a few things on the list.

Mine doesn’t want much but did mention a backpack for travel from Briggs-Riley so that is what he’s getting.

I have done that. It only makes me feel bad.

Here's my answer. Things you need. Need new tongs? buy new tongs, wrap them, give them to him. Does he need a new hamper? Buy one and wrap it and give it to him. Is his shower curtain gross? Buy a new one, wrap it up, give it to him. Don't buy the expensive stuff just because it is christmas. buy the stuff you'd normally buy. Laundry soap from target. bathmat. new shampoo bar. whatever. Buy the beer or wine or whiskey that he drinks and put it in his stocking.

Unless, of course, if he actually gives you an idea of something interesting to buy. then go with that/

I think I've done ALL of these except laundry soap. He's getting beer this year

lol…one poster is telling me to get my husband the same thing I would get a child, and the very next is saying to respect him!

This is literally my exact dilemma. Does he want something that shows I respect him, or does he want to be treated like a child?

I don't know if the "think of something" was for the gift giver or recipient, but if you ask and he says "nothing," then assume he is being honest. If he's like me, he is and doesn't want to do the work of coming up with something. If he says "nothing" but really wants you to come up with something, then he's a jerk. If he says, "I don't know, but it would be nice to get something," then get something replenishable. Most people like to eat or drink, so that's a good option.

A better sex life. A more submissive wife.

A bottle of his favorite bourbon (or equivalent) if he drinks paired with 3D Google glasses where you sit with him and take turns virtually visiting your favorite places.
Additional points visiting cool places when/ where we 1st met. Man here btw.

Because we never get your full attention and time.
