littlebug42 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Dh always gets a summer sausage in his stocking. This year, I also got him a Perry the Platypus T-shirt from Disney store. If he likes anything Disney, they have free shipping for today only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah CB Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I put in things that he gets frustrated about not being able to find - flashlights, tape measure, duck tape, electrical tape. I also put snacks in - he likes cashews and Pringles. This year I'm putting in a pair of wool socks for skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athena1277 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 My dh is getting his favorite junk foods and cheap glow sticks from the dollar tree to hand out to the kids at bedtime. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnTeaching Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you can see Canada, you obviously live where it is cold! I am getting dh the Isotoner Fleece gloves that have the tech pads so that he can use his iPhone without taking off his gloves. Costco has the wonderful Acorn fleece socks in two packs right now. Desk calendar, Lottery tickets and anything with chocolate/mint are favorites of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma23peas Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Carmex or Burt's Bees chapstick, he always gets chapped lips in the dry winter... Smartwool socks, amazing invention that allow my toes to never get cold or feet get sweaty. His own hairbrush, with 3 teens he never can find one and always complains that he can't find one! :) window scraper since his car can't fit in our garage with all the bikes/canoe in there. his favorite candy (Crunch bars) Man soaps, he loved the Nomad brand from crabtree & evelyn or H20 sea salt...he would never admit it, but everytime I buy them he says how much he likes them! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I bought dh a ceramic knife. I'd never heard of them until they showed up on a thread recently here.

Pippen Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 His own hairbrush, with 3 teens he never can find one and always complains that he can't find one! :) One year my kids gave their dad 15 combs for his birthday for this very reason. He loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Cornelia Snook Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Once I gave DH a stocking on Christmas Eve, when the kids were asleep. I'll leave the contents to your imagination. He hopes for that every year. NOT happening this year! Je suis way too sick and pregnant. For g-rated things when he opens his stocking in front of the kids, he gets a toothbrush, deodorant, work gloves, socks, and those Sweets chocolate-covered orange or raspberry sticks. A magazine about Ford Mustangs, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRachel Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I bought him a handmade pen off etsy for about $15. He likes pens and it was related to his work. I think he'll get a kick out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
