jarerice Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I need help this year. He's 28, we have 2 kids. He doesn't need and tools, has golf clubs, I got him a watch last year!!! I always get him the Uncle John's Bathroom books (i already bought the new for him this year for x-mas) I get him the new NCAA PS2 game every year. I'm stumped!!! He doesn't drink, has more clothes than me, works everyday!!!! Likes fishing (but works to much) and has everything he needs!!! I like the duct tape wallet idea, but I want to get him something.....I just don't know what!!! He has jewelry. I thought maybe a chain. Price really doesn't matter, it can be cheap as long as he likes it. My limit, kind of just depends on what it is. Thanks Everyone!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.feature Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You said he likes fishing and doesn't really have the time. If finances allow why not look into a weekend fishing trip for him. My Aunt did this for my Uncle and he loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarerice Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 any ideas????????????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christib327 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Does he have a nice jewelry box for his jewelry? Would he like something like that? You can usually get a decent deal on one and if it's good enough you could put a chain in it as a bonus :) I'm doing this for my husband this year except I'm putting a stainless steel bracelet in it. He has a couple, but really likes them, so I found one that's a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridasun5 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 He plays video games...how about some different ones, or any new accessories for his playstation? Gift cards to his favorite store like Best Buy or something where he can save it until there is something that he wants throughout the year? Does he have any favorite foods or snacks? My dh loves nuts so Im getting him a large gift box of nuts. Hopefully this gives you some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Wireless controller for PS2, a digital photo frame with pictures of you and the kids, a ring, mp3 if he likes music, a nice pocket knife, hmm I'll keep thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 What about a few lessons with a local golf pro to help him improve his game? Does he have a nice grill? All men need a grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitaKaT Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 OK, heres a few ideas that my husband enjoys.... Has he ever tried the radio controled cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc... ? This is a hobby that can get as expensive as you want it too, but it can still be affordable. My husband has a couple of trucks, several gas planes (pipers cub is a good one to start), electric jets and a helicopter. Its very stress relieving for him. There are places in every town with groups that fly, drive, boat, etc... and you can do it at home if you have enough land/space. (( I just wanted to add a note because if you have never checked this out it could be overwhelming at first. You can buy, say, planes in different stages. [ie ready to fly out of box, 90% ready, build from scratch with all parts included, buy separately, etc...] I suggest ready to fly. Whether of not its electric or gas is your choice. )) Heres a link to where we shop alot. There are 12 way deals on the first page. $100 off orders and more... http://www.towerhobbies.com Good luck and hope this helps! ~^*..*^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Why not get something personalized with the kids picture on it? I saw some neat ideas on a WM commercial, Apron, Serving tray, etc. I'm sure you can get real creative, and this is something he will cherish... its unique. You can gear it towards Golf, fishing or anything. If not.. Then you can always do an Ipod, Digital Camera, Camcorder, Slippers/robe, Wallet, LCD TV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutnbree Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I run into the same thing with my husband. I decided to get him a Car MD. Its a neet item. It plugs into your car if a trouble light comes on and records the info. Then you plug it into your computer to display the results. Available at carmd.com Last year I got him a shaitsu massager from Linens and Things. $80 after my 20% off coupon.] Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinvids Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Last year i bought my husband an xm radio and paid the years subscription. He loves music so this worked out well. Now he just sits in his car and listens to music all day (just kidding). This year my list is an alarm clock with the weather temp, a camcorder, (thank you BB!) a belt, and a karma Sutra book (hehe). Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my husband a fighter jet experience. They let him fly the jet! He claims it was the most fun he's ever had. If these are too expensive, you can always get an idea from here then check your local listing for something similar, but more in your price range.

BirdFur Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 How about a new razor? I can't think of anything a guy really needs or wants like a good razor. I just bought my husband a new one since his is dying. I researched newer Norelco models since many have come out in the last 10 years. I found this discussion board, Electric Razor Rap- jimelliott.suddenlaunch2 com. I decided on the Norelco Smarttouch 9190XL. Being that this is around $250 new, I decided to buy a refurb at CSSDeals com for $129. I was hesitantly about anything refurbished. But the guys on the Electric Razor Rap forum said that refurbs are mostly floor models, and shavers used by Norelco reps. They are sent back to QC, cleaned and/or fixed if necessary, and sent out for sale. They also said the percentage of refurb returns is much less than ordinary models because of the extra TLC. I spent quite a bit of time reading the Electric Razor Rap forum. These are just regular guys who really know about razors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassyoh Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I bought my husband Tivo 2 years ago for Christmas. He loves fishing shows and this way he can set it to tape all that come on and then watch them at his leisure on the weekends. It has turned out to be something that our whole family enjoys. Now that I have it, it's one of those things that if it ever "dies" we will have to replace it. Taping shows on it is soooo much easier than plugging in start and stop times on a traditional VCR recorder. I bought the box and paid up front for a lifetime subscription on it, but you can pay by the month also. I just didn't want the extra monthly bill.

sinvids Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 It's a remote that you can add almost every piece of entertainment equipment to. And if say, you want to watch a movie, it will turn the dvd player, tv, and surround sound system on all at once. it can even program your xbox, ps2, etc..The higher models can even turn your lights on but we don't have that. But you can plug it into your computer and download all your equipment and it will program it automatically. You can get them at BB or Amazon and I think the cheapest is about $70.00. here's a link... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Remote/dp/B000BDG3HU/sr=1-6/qid=1165504905/ref=sr_1_6/105-1179061-0563655?ie=UTF8&s=electronics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmdjgirl Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The Tivo/Dvr is a good idea. We have one and my hubby loves it! We can stop and rewind live tv, as well as record. We got ours through our cable company (cheaper than Tivo), but it is awesome. It works great for the whole family, too. We don't buy as many kid show videos now because we can just record things!

heatherkw Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 How about a watch? My hubby is a watch nut. He's says you can never have too many! If you would like I can point you in the direction of a few brands we like. Just tell me what features or materials you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
