this is going to be a hard one

[Catrinaf25]

My uncle has requested something to put on his table ( kitchen table) . He is not married and has no kids at home. I have no idea what to get him!! I was hoping to find something on amazon as the shipping is easy but I have no idea what to even get him???

You could get him a lazy susan and then add a nice napkin holder, sugar shaker, new butter dish and maybe a holiday salt & pepper shaker. I have one on my kitchen table and I love it. You could also add his favorite condiments as well - like favorite hot sauce, etc.

That was my first thought also but he said he didnt want a lazy susan . He wants something to make his table look nice he says

A vase or a decorative bowl? Have flowers delivered in a nice vase?

 

Target had some decorative bowls for 75% They are metal I believe and have a hammered look to them. They were in the home decor department. The least expensive one I saw was about $4. I don't have the dcpi number, didn't even think to write it down earlier.

You could make a arrangament or have one made in a masculine theme or include his favorite sport into it like hunting,fishing or ball.

Target has some very nice bamboo decorative size bowls and trays.

They are where the "fru fru" decorative items are - (as Dh says) ... like candles and such, not with the kitchen wares.

 

I got one for my moms b-day and she loves it. They are washable and food safe, so he could put fruit in/on

them for added color (and storage)

[donella]

How about a masculine cookie jar or a nice candy bowl?

[simplydivine]

How about a table runner, solid-masculine color, with a large flat bowl with potpourri (sp?) , and one or two tall candles or large clear vases with some rocks on the bottom?

 

Look at this page, I always get an idea or two (or a dozen ) no matter how many times I look at it!
