booga12345 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I bought my husband a nice watch and some cologne for X-Mas, but then I find out he got me 5 gifts. Now I need 3 more, wait maybe 4 more. He came home from work yesterday with a very expensive $400 watch from Gordon's Jewelers that was a gift from his boss. I think I am going to have to take the watch I got him back, since he already has quite a few nice watches and definately dosen't need 2 more! Any suggestions?

Princess7915 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 OH- what a situation you've got! What's DH age/occupation? That might help us come up with a few ideas. My DH is getting a Zune - he drives all day and hates listening to radio commercials all the time - so that's what he wanted. If he's younger and doesn't have them would he be interested in a game system such as XBox 360 or PS3 -My DH (28) plays his time to time. If not -If he's into sports are there any teams that you could get him some kind of tickets for? Best of Luck to you I'll keep thinking about it.

alimfp Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hmm - okay, here's the thing.. last year DH and MIL gifted me watches. I liked both, but took MIL's back, because I liked the idea of keeping DH's gift more than hers. Does that make sense? So you never know, your DH may be the same.. he may want that watch from YOU for the sentimental reason, and he may like it more than the one the boss got him (even if yours is worth less $, he may like the style/design/etc more!!). So I'd still gift the watch to him. Otherwise, what's his hobbies? Like Princess, I got my DH a Zune. He had an okay MP3 player but for work (he welds large airline parts), it wasn't cutting it.. so I upgraded him. I also got him a leaf blower, knowing he wants one. I got him flannel pajama pants, as his he has now are wearing a bit thin. Also a cashmere sweater, being he loves sweaters and sweatshirts. And he wanted a new weather thermometer thing, so I got him that.. and now I can't remember what else I got him? Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 My DH LOVES his Zune. He got it last year for Christmas. I guess it depends on his interests. Things I have gotten are hard drives, gaming headphones, LCD monitors, XM Radio. Also, shoes, shirts, and coats. He also loves playing games, so new games and stuff to go with that. He also likes his PSP. How about DVDs, CDs, wallet, pajama pants, robe, accessories for his hobby, books, magazines, 1-a-day calendar for his desk, stuff for the car. Tickets for a sports game is a good idea, or if he doesn't do sports (like my DH), maybe a concert or musical? I think I am giving Renaissance Festival tickets to mine this year. He is also getting a lot of Transformers. Hope some of these ideas help! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2monkiesx3 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 WOW What a nice gift from his boss! My Dh doesn't get a bonus this year and all he got was a free turkey or ham from Albertson's LOL We dont even cook the turkey/ham in our family!! Just to give you an idea I got DH a Zune, $100 I-Tunes giftcard, a leather jacket, new surround sound system for our bedroom and an IOU for a 50" LCD TV after the New Year. (We'd been planning on that one already!, but I printed out a cute little IOU and wrapped it in a HUGE box!) I also got him 2 PS3 games. He doesn't play much but he likes to play with my oldest DS(9) sometimes. I got Assasian's Creed and Beowolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsa3janes Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 How about a display box for his watches? Linens & Things or Bed Bath had them. Nice wooden boxes with glass tops. Cuff links are a great gift and stylish these days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This man has everything and needs nothing He already has an I-Pod, literally every game system out there, hundreds of video games and DVD's, and a closet of clothes that will burst if another item is put in there. He likes anything electronic and loves football (particularly the Bears and Brian Urlacher). He cannot fix anything (so tools are out of the question) LOL. I really just don't know what to do.

elena_398 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Last year I got my husband a certificate for an hour massage at a spa in the area. He still talks about that gift! (His favorite to date) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booga12345 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks! That is why he likes him, we are here in Albuquerque and whenever he is in town he always goes into the club that my dh works at. Dh says he is really a nice guy and always gives him a nice tip :). We found some awesome deals last month on some of his jerseys so he is already stocked up on that. We even found his high school jersey which retails for like $380 for $70! Maybe I will just go to a sports store and see what other Bears merchandise they have besides clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
