Bex that's a cool idea, it's always fun seeing what the other person could find at the $2 shop when you do something like that too. They have such cool stuff sometimes!
I usually get my DH a book, CD or DVD and something for the beach/pool but he never gets time to read (and now the newspaper comes every day), downloads any music/movies he's into and we moved out of our condo with a pool! So back to the drawing board 
I'll probably get him boring socks & boxers and some new squash balls and grip tape for his racquet.

1day.co.nz had a barbecue set for 39.99 so he has that so far. I'll also get him a memory card for his camera and some clothes he has asked for.

My DH has already bought himself a guitar and a cellphone, so really he has already got more than enough. I still like to get him something else so will probably be getting him some sort of T-shirt (Transformers or 4-square  ), and a book which really suits him (stuff every man should know  ) I think the BBQ set sounds like a really good idea too.

lemongirl - just read about your DH wanting a mortar & pestle, funnily enough mine pestered ('scuse the pun) me for one for about four years so I finally got him one last year, and he has NEVER used it!

I just bought this off 3Deals today for him, I thought it was a bargain: Mini BBQ
Perfect for camping and picnicing and he loves playing around with charcoal and fire

I got DH a cell phone, but only because I got a tax refund and could afford it. Otherwise he was getting a new hat cause the one he has is so grooty, even napisan in a hot wash won't turn it back to the right colour. He wears it everywhere, so I told his mum to get him a new one. He also needs one of those garden edge trimming things that you push along the curb and it cuts the grass.
He's gotten car cleaning stuff everyyear, but for a boy racer that stuff is handy.
I'm getting my 18 year old brother a razer and etra blades as I know how expensive they can be.
For FIL I have no idea what to get cause MIL buys him everything he needs.
ANd my dad is getting a tee shirt cause he keeps having to go to hospital where they cuts them up

DH asked for a universal remote (which I like as it means we'll have one remote instead of four cluttering the coffee table) ... which might be a good idea for DHs out there who love gadgets, like my gadget-crazy husband!
And I'd already bought him this gardening book - which is kind of a joint present because we want to start growing our own vegetables.
Oh and yesterday he bought himself a present, a $2k surround-sound stereo system, which should really be his next three birthday and Christmas presents rolled into one... ah well, more presents for him (generally) means more presents for me
