In 2012 Lori and I asked our blog readers to suggest gifts they would like to receive. The list below is based on what men on The Generous Husband suggested, with a few additions or specific suggestion added by Lori and me. Many of the links are monetised, so using them will help us without adding to your cost. Where possible, links are to a search page for the item listed. 

Many merchants allow you to create “wish lists.” (Amazon for example) Check to see if a wish list is public or private (usually you can do either) or can be seen by a limited group of people.

There are many holiday specials (shop online at your favourite stores) and great coupon deals through companies like Groupon and Moolala.
