We have no money this year for presents and My dh has expensive taste and would rather nothing than something cheap. I personally think that even if you give a dollar present it's meaningful. Problem is I am out of ideas on what to give a guy who only likes expensive things or would rather nothing. I want it to be meaningful. Any ideas?

A card I always do but I want a cheap meaningful present. I can spend up to $100 but I want something that is more the thought than the value of the item.

How about a nice robe with monogram and all.
A cashmere scarf or sweater.
I once enlarged a wedding picture of us on canvas and placed it in MBR.
Cufflinks.
Monogrammed shirt.
A down pillow.
Nice wine for shabbos.
Hope you do find something nice.

for a chanuka present dh got this free program (photosketcher) and took a pic of our kids and made it look painted and then printed it onto canvas at fed ex and gallary wrapped it. its really nice.
what sorta things does your dh like to do? if he likes bbq-ing then I have a couple ideas... that wld even work in the winter. (check out a stovetop smoker and woodchips)
can you get cufflinks or $100 cuff links arent expensive enough.
and abt the hotel... maybe try a name your price on priceline?
a cute photo/monogrammed coffee mug?
a photo mousepad?
a calendar with pics?
homemade coupons for things he likes?
an indoor picnic? (not a present but a date really)
sefarim or books he may like.
a coach wallet equivelent for men
name brand shoe laces (jk)

Would he like something DIY?
I didn't have time or money to get something for dh once so I made him this little booklet that said __ (you can fill in 5, 10, 20 etc) reasons I love you
On each page there was a reason with a little voucher underneath. Some vouchers had to do with the reason eg: reason #3 you always help me clean up even when you are tired
and the voucher was worth 1 extra sink of washing up.
It came out really cute and dh LOVED it!

How about a reservation at a nice restaurant? That way you can both enjoy it.

Does he like to drink? For $100 you can get a nice bottle of whiskey.

My dh loves seforim but the same problem the sets he wants are anywhere from $500 to $800. Seforim are very expensive.

A Brookstone gift card is always appreciated! For those who are not familiar, it's an electronics/home goods store with gadgets any man would like.

So funny - I also got the fragrance sampler for my very picky DH and he loved it. It was a huge hit.
Also in typical fashion he never chose a fragrance to get the full bottle and now it's 4 years later and we still have the certificate for the full bottle sitting in a drawer (I think taking up valuable space in my hallway console ...)
