What He Wants for Christmas

Is it just me, or does it seem like the men in my life are the most difficult to shop for? Women I know have pinterest pages, and wish lists on amazon, and circled items in pages of the recent Tiffany magazine. Just me? Ok... moving on. I'm lucky that I know my husband really well and I know his interests. But what about the other men in my life? Like my dad. Sure, every year he says "Don't get me anything." My sister and I never listen though. Never. He always ends up with something from the both of us.

Dad Gifts

// Drumsticks. My dad is a drummer. I learned at a very young age that he goes through drumsticks like most people go through chapstick. (or is that just me again?) So every Christmas he gets a nice shiny pair of new drumsticks!

// A silly tie. Don't judge. He loves these things. Sure, some years he'll get a nice one from me, but my dad is a jokester and silly ties are his thing.

// A shirt with a statement. (not pictured) Did I mention my dad is a jokester? I got him a shirt very similar to this last year and he LOVED it. He even wore it after Christmas. (Get it? Noel?) Yeah, a few of the family members thought I was dumb for getting it for him.

// Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. For the man in your life that likes to know a bunch of random crap. And to learn said random crap while... well, you get it.
// Meats and Cheeses. Because show me a guy that doesn't love some good meats and cheeses.

// A new Calendar. My dad ALWAYS (always) gets my sister and I a new calendar for Christmas. He's done it for as long as I can remember, so I started returning the favor. Even though Grandma always (always) makes a family Christmas calendar. (more on that another time). He likes his silly stuff.

// Hotwheels. My dad has a collection. He never takes these out of the packaging, and they're displayed on a WALL in his office. Yes, a wall. It's really very cool to see.

What would you get a special guy in your life? Anything on here strike your fancy?
