<p>My mom gets all the men in the family new fleece grinch pajama pants every Christmas. She bought them for my dad once as a joke, and then started buying them for all the boyfriends, and now it’s a yearly thing. My fiance has quite the collection.</p>
<p>Eventually I think my mom will transition to getting us couple gifts, probably when she has grandkids to spoil instead of us (a year or two!?). We both get a bunch of little nice things now. We are pumping FMIL for info about my fiance’s favorite toys when he was little, my mom wants to get him something “nostalgic.” My mom gets a lot of material for him from my dad, as they are a lot alike. They bought him some sort of fancy hard drive or something for his birthday last year, this year he got an electric drill. Mom always asks me for ideas for myself but by the time I think of anything she’s already figured out a bunch of stuff herself. I’ve really wanted some nice driving gloves the last couple of years but no one will buy them for me… I had them in my hand to buy them for myself last year and put them down.</p>
<p>My fiance and I did stockings for each other last year. He got a lot of candy in his, but I also got him a nice measuring tape (he had a tool kit without one), christmas socks, some lottery scratch off cards, and some restaurant gift cards for places near his work so he could go to lunch. Guy stockings are hard but not too bad once you get going.</p>
