Hey Menfolk, I Need Your Help!

My main type has been Red Shirt. It's a star trek cologne found online. Not sure it's in any store though. As far as before that old-spice,brute,Ck are some others I have used. My best advice is to just smell them and see what you like. If you like it most likely he will also.
As for anything else. My answer when asked what I want has always been piece and happiness to everyone. That's what I want. I really will be happy with anything I get from my kids or wife.

Get him a power tool that he wants or doesn't have, or a gun with a case and some ammo, or lots of red meat and a BBQ to grill it on, beer (can't forget that), oh, and pretzels for the beer, a subscription to a muscle car or girly magazine, some cigars, more beer, a home brewing kit with ingredients to make gallons of beer, and um, did I mention some beer?

You guys are fantastic. Definitely some good ideas to think about. Maybe not the beer, though. He would love a pack of cider or a couple different kinds of ciders. He tends to prefer that to beer, but it's in the same realm, I guess. I'll have to see if I can ferret out of him what kind of power tools he might want. I know he has just about everything he could want for work mostly supplied by our business and he just uses those for stuff around the house, but there might be something he doesn't have and would like, so I'll have to see what I can find out.

We do notes for each other for anniversaries and birthdays, but I know that he likes those and has saved every note and letter that I've written to him, so that is a good idea for something to do, too!

All of this is a great start to get me pointed in the right direction. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you!

Michigan Swamp Buck, the brewing kit is a pretty good idea! Glencairn mentioned her husband prefers cider, and Professor Google shows they do in fact have cider beer kits out there.

Maybe one of them would make a great DIY gift for him, Glencairn? I have no idea which would be best though, I've never bought any kind of DIY beer or cider kit.

I am assuming a trip to the strip club is out of the question..




Memories are as important as major gifts

Might I actually make an adult suggestion


Why not in vein of the joke above, Mommy/daddy time

Rent a cabin for a weekend kid free
In a nice area
woods, on the beach, or perhaps visit a site

Get lingerie , food to cook, wine and alcohol

And just be

Please note I said an adult suggestion
If he has never been somewhere.. Go there
if it is like vegas
See what comedians are there

or perhaps a broadway show or opera (every guy should go once but might not be his cup of irish coffee)

or go visit a brewery

just remember kids free and just the two of you
(and yes it can be done on the cheap if you plan properly)

Just remember the day show aint the main entertainment

 
 




You asked

Just remember your body's cycle when planning
It is shameless guy advice, nothing is intended
(hell a kids free, no boss or work,no chores, or no D@#$ hassles weekend sounds F#$%ing good)
make a memory he will NEVER forget



Now for my inner lesbian's

First do some intelligence gathering

Do you share an amazon account

Check viewing history for orders placed onhold or recently viewed items

Does he do cars?
A project car from a junk yard he can restore

Does he have a man cave he can hide in?
It is his deal to decorate (and clean)

His own TV, big screen?

Is he a gamer?
his own gaming computer
(is very different if you need a build list I can get it from a friend, parts mostly from amazon)

is he a fan of a certain star?
Most have agents and they sell signed autographs
Music, movies, writers, sports, or television

is he a shoe guy?
A pair of original Jordans or other male shoe thingies


It is simple..You know him quiet well

Pleasure habits plus memorabilia equal gift getting

On you
Communication with sellsman,  
homework
delivery 
and presentation





Again that is the best all around advice I can think of off the top of my head

For all I know he may want to go a spa for a day!!

The choice is make a memory or solid object of intangible value

Have a merry ba- hum-bug

Hi Everyone! I'm Alive and well (barely )! sorry for being so absent lately but as most now, I was having Laptop issues and couldn't connect from home... I reinstalled windows last night (yay I finally received the install CD from eBay), A little more configuring to do tonight then I will be able to bug you all like crazy as before!!!

Glencairn A Cologne that I really like is Burberry Sport...but it's really hard to find (Not sure if they still make it) and my wife loves it too.
