Thursday, November 10, 2005Gifts for Men Hubby's birthday is approaching. None of us have any idea--including him--on what to give him. He's not a handy man, so the hardware store is out. He's already got one of every thing that the sporting store carries. Office supplies don't do it for him. He's not a clothes horse.What does he like? A clean house. A clean car. A warm meal. Ironed clothes. And a little attention. He also likes for my car to be clean. And the kids' cars to be clean. And the kids' rooms to be clean. And the toilet lids to be down. But somehow, doing all those things and saying, "Happy Birthday, honey! The kids and I washed and vacuumed our cars, we made our beds and put all the toilet lids down!" just doesn't seem right. So, I figured since we've been on a shopping theme of sorts, I'd come to you for ideas. We've done the "homemade" coupons that he can redeem for "one backrub" or "the completion of one chore of your choosing" but he never cashes them in. We have a yard service, so we don't need anything for that. So ... what do you get for the man who wants nothing?

My dear, have you learned nuh-thing in over 20 years of marriage??? ALL men want SOMEthing! A little dark lace and a willing wifely heart will make for a birthday gift he will cherish forever! And after that, he'll luv ANYthing the kids give him... ;oD

Watch it, watch it. This is a family-friendly site we're running here and if my kids read your post they are going to be grossed out. I was seeking suggestions for gifts that can be opened with the entire family present, you silly.

Oops, sorry. Hope I didn't scare off the more wholesome bloggers!!! Um, a meaningful tie? Um, a sports shirt of a team he doesn't have (like, say, the Packers)? Um, dinner out at his favorite restaurant with his favorite wife and kids lauding and praising him throughout the meal???

Excellent suggestions and I've come up with a few ideas as well. I'll report back with the results.
