anneruth Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have no idea what to get him this year. Any ideas would be helpful. He isn't married, never eats at home, doesn't shop, likes nascar and works all the time. he's a mechanic. Please help!!! I asked him what he wanted and he said - I don't know - but you always get me great gifts! uhh - a little help would be SOOOOOO appreciated!

MandaJo111 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Someone posted the idea the other day of a wallet with gift cards in it. You could do different restaurants since he does not eat at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christib327 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think MandaJo111 had a great suggestion. That would be perfect for a single guy. Maybe along with restaurant gift cards you could do one or two to a couple local automotive shops since he's a mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anneruth Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'd like to spend under 30.00. I passed the wallet idea by hubbie and he didn't like it (said his brother didn't need a new wallet) - lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish1298 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Then I would make your husband think of something for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well, since he's into nascar.. does he have a lot of stuff relating to that already? Maybe something with his favorite driver on it... Blanket, T-shirts, car mats, etc. Try Nascar.com for ideas.. then go search the web for a better price. Does he drink? Someone gave an idea on another thread about doing a basket of little bottles of liquor/beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anneruth Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Then I would make your husband think of something for himlol - that's what I've told him. I've been telling him that every evening for the last 4 days!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarerice Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 instead of the wallet, just give a GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Okay, don't laugh at this idea. You said he was a mechanic which usually means his hands are a MESS. Give him some Hemp Hand Protector from The Body Shop. It is a waterproof hand lotion. I worked for The Body Shop and we would also get guys that would come in and be amazed how this worked on their hands. The fragance is natural, so it's not feminine - which is important! It's probably about $12.00 a tube, but that tube lasts several months as you only use about the size of a dime twice a day. http://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/browse/product_detail.jsp?productId=prod160293&categoryId=cat1010003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuponKlipper Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The "ex" was a mechanic. He bought tools from Sears (Craftsman) and from the Snap-On truck that came to the shop. So, how about a gift card to either of those ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setlok73 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I know you said he doesn't eat at home...but maybe if he had something like a small George Foreman grill he could make himself something fast (and they are awesome). or since he's into nascar maybe a gift certificate for the nascar store http://store.nascar.com/home/index.jsp or if there is a concert coming up that he might like, get him a couple tickets Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Girl Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (said his brother didn't need a new wallet) - lol. Then just get a cheap wallet at dollar tree. To have something to put the GC's in. If you got a nice wallet it would eat your budget up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
