I did this, and it was fun, but I wouldn't do it again simply because of scheduling -
We were so busy running out to parties most nights that unwrapping the gift of the night became kind of rushed as we were trying to get out the door, and I didn't feel like I enjoyed the gifting, squeezed as it was between getting the kids coats on amd making sure everyone went to the bathroom. If you have a busy chanukah, make sure to set aside a time (right after lighting menorah?) dedicated to unwrapping.

Anyhow, here are some ideas:
Funky socks (Happy Socks makes some really cool ones)
New music CD
Puzzle or game
Wine or whiskey
Gloves
Scarf
Cell phone car holder

I saw the kichels has a new game, if he's the type to like that...
my husband finds the kichels hilarious so I'm thinking of getting him the game...

1. Tie holder (roll) for traveling (namery in Lakewood has if u wanted to see what I'm talking about).
2. Book for personal reading (novel, book about a gadol).
3. Book for learning (about bais hamikdash, in depth parsha, book on kezaysim (me and my hubs actually find it interesting how little /much a kezayis really is)
4. New cd he may enjoy
5. Nice belt or other small accessory
6. Nice weekday watch if he doesn't have
7. Personalized item with name or pictures (calendar with pictures, mouse pad for computer, glasses cleaning cloth, deck of cards...)
8. Appliance for something he likes (waffle maker, popcorn maker, air fryer, George Forman)
9. Personalized "coupons" to present whenever he chooses (massages, doing one of his "chores", extra long cuddling session...)
10. Cologne
11. Favorite snack /chocolates
12. Something special for you for the bedroom that he would enjoy seeing/smelling, touching... Like "I got this for you to enjoy tonight"
13. His favorite, more expensive supper (his fave steak or dessert either homemade, or taken out and brought home as a surprise)
14. Wallet/card holder
15. Either a standing valet or tabletop valet for ur dresser
16. Suit jacket holder for back of seat in car
17. Rotating tie rack for closet if he has a lot
18. New headphones/airpods if he is on phone or listens to shiurum by phone
19. Naki radio has shiurum and music stations
20. Tickets for an activity to do together (skating, skiing, hotel, snow tubing etc. reservations)

I'll try to think of more Wink

No problem! The shtender idea was taken but a tabletop one or full one is great! And my sister in law bought personalized bookmarks for my husband a d he loves them! Has them in a lot of sefarim and books he is reading (daily chofetz Chaim, parsha etc). I like the idea of buying something specific vs gift card cuz most stores allow u to exchange but the item is more thoughtful than a gift card.
If u don't mind spending, my husbands chavrusah loves his book on the bais hamikdash with pictures and measurements and puts a lot of their mishnayos into perspective. And we loves the kezayis book because its interesting (and necessary) to see when we really need a bracha achrona or to wash etc. It's easy to read and colorful pictures to size of tons of items. Wasn't an expensive buy and we both enjoy it. Books with thoughts of the parsha can be good too and can be used every week! Good luck!!
