I would, from my daughters. Especially since as coparents and still “a team” in a sense, the ultimate goal is to be friends.

I definitely would

Think of how best to give a gift at this time though… maybe give a parenting book, a self help book, a journal, something to keep things in perspective while still honoring the holiday spirit.

I agree with what Jeca suggests. You are still a team when kids are involved. Finding something that he would value and appreciate would be a great place to start.

I’m hitting 6 months and was petty on his birthday and was thinking the same for Christmas but that’s just me

Why should you? You guys are no longer together, you are not obligated to gift him anything. If you want to help the kids pick something out for their dad, sure. But from YOU personally? I would not.

From the children, yes. You’re a coparenting team and it’s a nice white flag x

Even if your separated please try to be civil with each other. This includes being nice to each other so you can coparent. And buying gifts for each other from your child.

Nah, unless I wanted to make it an olive branch to try again. That’s just me tho.

I would get one off your children rather than you. But that's if you are able and happy to spend the money

Why are you still referring to him as your husband?
