Need some gift ideas for the husband's upcoming birthday. So, advice on what to get? Or, what was the best gift you ever received?

    Also not a man, but in the past I've given my boyfriend tickets to sports games and concerts and he's always liked those gifts!

    On topic: You gotta list his hobbies.

    Does he play video games? PS4 ftw?

    Work out? Weights, gym clothes, new towel, back massager, and a real massage.

    Drink? A good high end whiskey.

    Handyman? Some new tools, or lowes/home depot gift card.

    Like movies? New bluray player with streaming and wifi, New movies, fye gift card.
  • My wife got me concert tickets one year and it was awesome.

    All men are different. I wouldn't know what to do with hunting gear. A gift card to Best Buy would make my day.

    What's your point? Find me a guy who would say no to a nice steak and a blow job.

    As far as gifts, I've always had luck with things you can do together- concerts, games, etc. depending on his interests.

    Operative point being his interests. Don't get yourself tickets to "Cats" or some other show that you want to see under the guise of a gift. That's so tacky!

    I got my husband a pitcher and pint glass set with his favorite baseball team on it. I also get him good Scotch. I don't do the travel arrangements because he has the hotel status, but he would also love a mini trip to see a sports game, go to an ammusement park, or go to a comedy show. He especially likes to stay walking distance from a fun place to drink so he doesn't have to worry about driving. If you want to get him something you know he'd love (like a new barbecue grill, or a new project car/parts for an existing project, bike, surfboard. ) make up a personalized gift card (with cash atrached) that says the money is only to be spent on that. That way he can get what he wants, but it is still a gift.

    The point? Find a guy who would rather skip that on his birthday and trade it to have it as an all year round thing. You will find tons. Too many couples end up doing those things as a special occasion and yeah I like my gifts to have a little more thought and meaning.

    I have always liked the gift of long weekends away... In the past girlfriends have taken me to Atlantic City, Pocono Palace in the Poconos, NYC, Baltimore Inner Harbor... Its a better gift when you dont tell them where your going and just get them in the car and drive... :)

    I asked for the best gifts you ever gotten not the worst hahaha and NO, if I get him tickets to an event or a concert the second ticket will not be for me but for a buddy of his choosing. We can have dinner together for his birthday and plan an awesome fun camping trip for the family but I also understand that sometimes I don't need to be involved or included in his gift period. Just that I provided him the time away from the family, either to himself or with his buds.

    Y'all are hilarious. Y'all are acting like I'm saying either have them on my birthday or during the year. I'm saying the two are not mutually exclusive and that it's still a great birthday gift. But by all means, ask random strangers on the internet what to get your husband - who you should theoretically know better than any of us do - for his birthday. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    OK his hobbies

    Golfing, but I already got him a traditional golf outfit in his favorite color, argyle vest, argyle socks, golf knickers, the hat, and collared shirt for one of our anniversaries. Then this past father's day I got him new golf gloves and a practice golf swing set. So I think I'm done with the golf thing.

    He plays xbox, but I had already did the whole xbox thing

    Snowboarding, but summer is coming up and he has tons of gear that he hardly got to use since we lived in west Texas for awhile and he has a go pro he got from his mother for Xmas

    Guitar, but also for Christmas and his b day got a brand new guitar and a year worth of lessons

    Old fashioned shaving stuff: but I bought him a life time old fashion razor for our last anniversary and had his father buy him the brush and bowl set for Xmas

    Movies: but he has thousands already

    I what I'm saying is that's a given as it should be done aside from a gift. So calm your self. And I'm asking men as they apply here since men knows better than anyone what a man would likely want. Aside from sex since that drives most men, we women got that part down that one is the easy part. So by all means try and make it a bad thing that as a wife (who knows her husband well and already did buy something for all his hobbies and likes) I would care to even get a man's perspective on this or think to ask when I'm at a loss for what yo do this year for him. I am not asking total strangers advice on my marriage or life but a gift but awesome job at turning this into a you should know your husband better than strangers thing. Rather than what it really is and that's a wife that cares. *slow claps*

    How about a really tasteful boudoir photo album? An MFP friend of mine had something like that done and her husband loved it.

    I can't comment on this because my husband is on mfp lol and well let's just say it's in the works but I want something else too so I'm not empty handed here at all, I just want something he can use.

    A true golfer is never ever done getting new equipment...you can't be one and done on this matter.

    Every golfer wants a new driver or putter....I just looooove my Scotty Cameron putter north of $200, but a once in a lifetime gift.

    I am going to shop for a driver soon, but I am not up on it - so not rec's.

    Does he walk the course? I do and use a Clicgear push cart. Awesome push cart. Google it.

    Pro V 1 golf balls ($45/dozen) - really great ball though.

    A subscription to Golf Digest magazine
