Christmas gifts for your SO..

[MissMariee]

What are you ladies getting that special guy in your life for Christmas?


I got my guy a name engraved flask and slippers.. stuff he's mentioned in conversation. I wanna throw a couple little things together too, but Im not sure what.

last year i got him madden and some tix to 2 football championships-1 high school 1-college. he's a huge sports fan at the high school and college level. this year idk.

 

[Godyssey]

This year nothing. It isn't often that I can think of a gift for him. In 18 Christmases I've only gotten him 6 gifts. A passport cover, a wooden shoe polishing station, storage thing, a Swiss Army knife, cologne and 2 Steeler hats. The hats and cologne he pre approved before I bought them.

LV garment bag/duffle. Whatever is cheaper. We are going away and I know he is dying for it and has hinted towards it SO MUCH. LOL!

ETA: I decided on the duffle.

Thinking about buying him a helicopter lesson.

That is good! This thread may give me some ideas!

 

[TayMac]

Something car related since that is his biggest hobby and side hustle.

 

[Solila]

Hmm, that helicopter idea as got me thinking..........lol

This is a fantastic idea. I want to steal it. I wonder if there is a place in DC to get lessons - probably not with the flying restrictions.

I see y'all have active, neverscared men like me

There's quite a lot of boys activity day type gifts out there.

My SO also likes useful gadgets and tools that save him time so I may have a look for something like that as well.

I was thinking about a skydiving gift certificate but it seems like they're all tandem in our area. He'd hate that as an experienced jumper.

You guys have great ideas! But my SO and I have not been dating very long so I am not sure what to buy and my funds are low. I was thinking - maybe a watch.

 

[crlsweetie912]

I'm thinking watch too. He loves them. But he will be 100 degrees hot at me buying him a gift. He HATES me doing anything for him.

 

[Papoose]

Keep the ideas coming! We haven't been together long. He loves to cook, any ideas? ??

Check out Williamssonoma.com. Lots of amazing gifts and tools for people who love to cook and entertain.

Also, check out ethnic cooking classes in your area. Maybe you could get him a series of lessons to learn a style of cooking that he has always wanted to learn.

A watch is a great idea. That was the first gift I ever bought FH. It was his birthday but we had only been dating 2 months so I didn't want to go all out.

 

[MizAvalon]

I'm getting FH the entire boxed set of The Wire, a watch, a pair of boots, a "re-up" box(underwear, socks, t-shirts, razors, etc.) and maybe a couple of other little things.

Christmas, Valentines Day, and our anniversary are all within an 8 week period. I have to spread the gifts out or I will go broke, lol!

 

[naturalmanenyc]

That sounds like us but it's 12 weeks.

[sylver2]

i cant afford the watches he wears but im getting him a leather jacket, this crystal chrome bar cart, bond no 9 cologne and a stockin w/ his name on it & stuffer trinket gifts inside like cufflinks, shaving balm, iphone acessories, blu-ray movie etc etc.

 

[sylver2]

Cologne is a great first gift for a guy if yall just starting your relationship.

 

[cherishlove]

I never buy shoes because I don't want him walking out my life and I don't buy watches because I don't want him ticking outbid my life. I know superstition but I don't.

 

[ryanshope]

I am all about personalized gifts---a calendar with photos of us, monogrammed stuff, sports memorabilia..and of course electronics(Xbox One or the PS4).

I have a roster of guys I am dating so I don't plan to spend alot on them($100 or less) and I have hinted at nice but inexpensive gifts they can get me so we shall see :/ .....I hate not having a man during the holidays

 

[ryanshope]

Designer sunglasses are good too

 

[natural_one]

I use excitations.com for different types of gifts..They have some really interesting experiences

What about a gift certificate for a massage?

 

[sky_blu]

He doesn't celebrate Christmas or so he says... so unsure if I'm getting him anything. His birthday was last month so I got him a pair of shoes he mentioned wanting. He hasn't mentioned anything that he wanted since that. Last year I got him a piece of art that he wanted. He always smells really good so some cologne might work.

natural_one thanks so much.

Sumra thanks so much for the idea. I ended up doing this and DH LOVED it. He was so surprised!!!

 

[MRJ1972]

Thanks ladies for your wonderful suggestions! I ended up getting cologne, a few shirts and he has a surprise bottle of vodka on the way! Hope your SO/DH love their gifts as well!
