No idea! Was thinking of a lawn mower for a combined chrissy/birthday present considering his birthday is 2 weeks after christmas.
=( i need help too! i did get him a really exxy bday pressie this year (being his 50th i wanted it to be extra special) but im so stuck for xmas... might steal some of you girls' brilliant ideas.

I've still got no idea :crying:
I got him a PS3 game last year, which he was really excited about.. But with DD being in hospital we didn't get home for nearly 5 weeks after Christmas so he would just lay in Ronald Mac and read the book and stare at the cover for ages. lol
I vowed no PS3 games this year, and our best mate went and bought him one.... not impressed.
A BBQ cover would be good, I want to get some really good but cheap as I bought him Soundwave tickets for his birthday and they were $170.
Gah, so stuck.
I was slack this year with his birthday so am getting my sister and my mum to contribute and we are going to get him an iPad!! He has been working so freaking hard the last few months, on our place, our investment house and then just at work and deserves to be spoiled! Can't wait to see him open it when he will be expecting Apple vouchers! :D
He also needs some nice shorts so will be getting a few things like clothes from the kids for him!
We normally say no presents then DP buys me something and i get him nothing... the thing is i don't buy much for myself during the year and DP gets basically anything he needs (he works, earns the $$ so no biggy) but this year i thought i might look around for an iPod touch, then he can stop stealing my phone to listen to music when he does the mowing and he can save all his playlists to it and plug it in in the car instead of burning CD's.
I am thinking of making some salt sough ornaments with the girls handprints and then glueing a photo to the back of him with that child and then covering in clear paint.
We might make him his favorite mint balls.
I've hinted i want my tattoo or maybe a ring :p but i'm happy to get nothing this year :)
If your DH like bbq stuff Charlotte what about one of those bbq tool belts? Has a belt with holsters for tongs, a flipper thing and a stubby holder for his drink :) My DH still uses his.
I got mine from Kmart Danni. Was only cheap ($30 ish). BBQ galore have them too but they cost more.:
Last year was so much easier as our overseas holiday was part of our christmas present.
DH only wants really expensive things so hes going to get nothing at this rate if he doesnt ask for anything else smaller.
We will be o/s this Christmas so that is our present to each other (and the kids).
But I get a bonus from work, so I'll buy him an Apple TV thingy while we're away so he has something open on Christmas morning.
Geelong iphone cover from DD - probably nothing from me. if the budget stretches just before christmas i'll get him a bottle of johnny double black for his collection
I've decided what I'm getting DF :party: a double pass to gold class and a couple of beverage vouchers - I wonder who he'll take with him :lol:

Ooh I like that idea! I might steal it from you!:lol::
A nerf gun
DH is getting a couple of Tom Clancy books and an el-cheapo PS3 guitar hero game I got for $10! Gotta love a bargain!:lol:
But I am stuck for something else, like so many men if he needs something he just goes and buys it. Am thinking of getting him an experience but if I do that I will have to rope someone else into buying it for me as it will spoil the surprise if he sees it on the cc statement.
A cannon EOS 550D Digital SLR Camera
Jocks
PS3 game
Book
Choccies
Australian songbook CD
A John Birmingham book
3 tshirts from etsy
Would like to get him other things too but I'll see how we go.
Socks and jocks.
He wants a kegerator, and I have told him he can get one after we have unpacked every single box (we recently moved) so we might wrap that up as a pressie.
He is getting me new runners and some nursing bras.
Thanks!! Good idea .... I'll go with this one too! My DH is also keen to give it a go. I was stumped for a while.:
I totally suck at presents for DH and he always ends up getting me exactly what I wanted (even when I didn't know it was what I wanted!).
My DH researches his gifts to the max. I got specific details on what he wanted and where to buy.
He is getting a Casio g shock mud man digital watch (apparently the one with hands chews the battery lol). Although he said eBay was the best spot I bought it at a jewellery shop. Dd and I enjoyed the shop to!
Ps - if he asks what I want I want my kitchen finished!!!
Ooh great idea. Don't know why I haven't thought of it before, DH is always losing his keys/wallet/phone. And it's the one thing he won't buy for himself.:
