3 men, 3 huge shopping dilemmas, 4 if you count being broke?

My husband and two adult sons are always hard to shop for, but this year I am especially at a loss because of financial and time constraints. They mean the world to me, and I would love to find the perfect gift for them. The problem is, I don't know what it is. One of them has a baby on the way, all three of them are unemployed and having a hard time finding work (if I could get them jobs for Christmas I would) and one of them was my rock last year during a very difficult time. Any ideas? I only have about a hundred dollars to spend.

Update:

Lol, Mr. Black- if I didn't, the kids would be getting a buck apiece!

    They are all broke and going through this with you. So they know..... May I suggest you spend the money on three very nice cards, and a Christmas dinner at home. In each card, write to them from your heart. Tell your rock how much you love and appreciate him, and to me that is worth more than a silly gift. To the others, just give them words of kindness, and love, and how much you adore their strength. Tell them no matter what, thick and thin, you stick together, and are ALWAYS there for them, and promise them all lots of hugs.

    Most men are easy, like me. Pat us on the head, tell us we are your hero, love us, and them feed us. LOL. It's true.

    Grown adults don't really expect gifts but something is really better than nothing at all and you don't need to spend all of the $100 on the two sons alone. If you want to give presents then a gift-card from the local music shop would suffice or a couple of bottles of wine. Buy something nice like talc powder or perfumed soap for their spouses. Maybe a soft toy for the child. For your husband, get him something for the garden or whatever his hobby is about. Maybe get a frame and put a photo of yourself in it.
