What to Buy Your Husband/Boyfriend this Christmas

Recently, I made a list of places to shop online for your girlfriend/wife (and what to get them once you’re there!) for Christmas.  Well, I have been chatting with all of the dudes in my life, and I think I am finally prepared enough to provide an educational list for the baffled girl who still isn’t quite sure what to get her boyfriend, fiance, or husband for Christmas.

If you are a woman, you’ve probably realized, men have expensive tastes!  It could be the most inane and useless gadget, and yet it more than likely costs hundreds of bucks.  When I did my list for women, I offered makeup ideas that cost $1 per item. Man, men really do have it easy!

[digg-reddit-me]I don’t have any grandchildren. I don’t even have any regular children. I have two dogs, that I like to dress up in costumes.  But I have grandparents, so that has to count for something, right?  I have gotten a real kick out of reading some of the activities at grandparents.com.

Grandparents.com is a great website for anyone with kid in their life. Babysitters, parents, Sunday School teachers, teenagers being asked to look after their little cousins or nieces/nephews, poor people, etc.  They have all sorts of fun things you can do for cheap or free.  I also like how this is a website geared toward older people, yet it’s not patronizing, unlike the Jitterbug.

One of the things they have going on right now is a free downloadable e-book called the Ultimate Holiday Guide. This is something you can just print right off or read online for helpful ideas on how to make this a great holiday season.  Some of their features include 11 Things To Do With Your Grandchildren This Holiday Season, How to Buy Gifts Without Causing Rifts, 20 Great Gifts Under $32, 6 Ideas for When You Have No Idea What to Get, recipes, even stuff for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa!

It’s definitely worth checking out for all ages, especially if you are looking for something creative and fun to do with the family this year!
