It is incredibly difficult to find gifts for my DH. I thought I might find some inspiration here. What are your man gifts this year?

The damn things are so freaking expensive (for what they are) and hardly ever go on sale. Well, I found them online fr 30% off so he is getting some. I also got him a shower blue tooth speaker so he doesn't have to have his phone in the shower with him to listen to music. I'm trying very hard to get him a PlayStation 4 (see the theme?) but am not sure if I can pull it off. Those things are pretty hard to find right now.
So I'm probably no help unless you are also married to a man-child.

I also bought my husband Lego. I'm really hoping that it likes it! I'm so excited to give it to him. I found some technics, his favourite, on sale so decided to give it a try as a gift idea. I think I got him the digger one.

I asked the author for "bottle" suggestions and she offered up several - I'll be on the hunt for a bottle of Strega liqueur today. (ETA the other bottles on her list were: Cocchi Americano aperitif wine, a gin called The Botanist, and a Clear Creek Distillery eau de vie infused with the springtime buds of Douglas Fir. The Strega seemed like a nice combination of unusual and versatile.)

Sign up at http://wiialerts.com/ - you add items (such as PS4) to your account and it will send you an email/text when the item is in stock anywhere online. It's how I was able to get a PS4 for my husband.
I too am married to a man child and he is also getting the motherlode of legos.amc80|1387214921|3575350 said:My theme for DH this year is "my husband is 33 going on 12."

lol DH right now is on a Hobbit and LOTR collecting bender. He almost has them all, and this year I believe should have all of them. Thankfully (or not) the whole family contributes to this...delightful gifting. So we have all of the sets, unopened, piled all over our damn house. He's waiting to bust them out til the basement is finished again. Oh goody.Rhea|1387221806|3575443 said:amc80|1387214921|3575350 said:My theme for DH this year is "my husband is 33 going on 12."

If I could get away with taking a photo of what is VISIBLE in the living room without disrupting him right now I would. You can easily see like 8 or 9 piled unopened Lego boxes from LOTR and Hobbit collections.amc80|1387229154|3575561 said:Wow, lots of Legos! I got DH these:
LEGO Prisoner Transport (173 pcs) 1
LEGO City Police Station 7498 (783 pcs) 1
LEGO City Police Pursuit 4437 1
LEGO City Police ATV 60006

We got the experience for them because we figured they wouldn't get it for themselves and it would be fun for them to have a day out with the together.
Here's a link to 50% off that's good for the next 6 days.

He built his own 3D printer this year (Not the lame Makerbot, BTW) and that kept him busy for a while, but the scanner is prebuilt.
Darn thing better get here.
If DH wants Legos, he can print his own.
