So my husband's birthday is coming up, soon, and I have absolutely no clue as to what to give him as a present.

Guys, what do you want for presents? Like, really? I'd like some input please!

And fellow girls, do you give good presents and care to share ideas?

His main interests are aviation and history, also he likes movies and books. Only we have lots of movies and books, so....


Any help is much appreciated!

what a helpful suggestion, you stinker.

Dee...

How about a coupon book with all sorts of things you can do for him personally.

A massage.

A blow job.

A night at one of HIS favorite things to do.

A coupon to Victoria Secret for you both, him to pick, you to try on??? (that way you win twice ;) )


Other than that, maybe sporting event tickets?

Men are so hard to buy for.
 
No matter how many you've got, there's no such thing as having too many books. And you know what his interests are. Get thee to Amazon and start searching.

How many model airplanes does he have? How many does he wish he had? If you go this route, don't forget glue and paint.

Also, there's no such thing as having too many tools.
 
Ooooh.... shopping for gifts! You said the magic words... :D

I don't know how soon is soon, but there are several things you can get in a relatively short period of time. Here are some ideas that worked for me - hope they help.

I know that you said you have loads of books, but perhaps a coffee table book on historic planes. You can browse through amazon or chapters to see the various selections. Also, there are excellent replicas of historic model planes that are relatively affordable. Or even better: get him a kit, and let him enjoy building it.

A subscription to his favourite magazine.

A digital picture frame (or key chain). I got these for several guy friends/relative of all ages (youngest being 23, the oldest being 77), and they were very well received.

You mentioned that hubby is a history buff - what time period? If he's into modern history/World Wars, then perhaps something from that era. If he's into 16-18th Century, then maybe a compass from that time (or replica). There some really gorgeous ones from here, although they ship from Europe, so that may not be feasible. Anything older, you need to specify the era (Roman, Egyptian, Japanese, Mayan).

And you can browse through eBay for some idea, or this site. They have some really great ideas, tailored to gender and category. Actually that last one is mine of ideas for gifts regardless. I constantly use it.

Good luck and have fun :kiss: :kiss:

Not such a bad idea kb, there are actually charter services that will take a couple up and give them a sleeping area in the back of the plane to 'join the club'. ;)

Besides that, maybe a wall plaque with favourite squadron insignia if it's war planes he likes or perhaps some piece of memorabilia-like mounted parts from some historic type of plane that he likes. A friend of mine has some engine parts from a spitfire.

Heya Kendra, how's it going girlie? Thanks for your suggestions, not a bad idea but I'd have to modify the freebies. I give him massages anyway, so that wouldn't be special. Blow jobs and Vic's Secret, well you know how that goes, remember your changing the channel story..... I've been trying to lure him out of the house on days off but to no avail and he's not into sports, so.... ugh!!

Actually, it is I who wants his tool..... but I digress. Thanks for replying, I have had good luck with Amazon in the past so perhaps it's worth a look.

I'm good sweetness. Yeah, I'm hearing you. One day I'll tell you about letting the skirt fall up as I sat on the ground and the comment I got on that one.:rolleyes:

Heyy Miss fire_breeze, thankyou for those suggestions. I'm going to take a closer look at that gifts site, it looks like a really interesting place. I've just been browsing pilot shops and well, yeah, all useful stuff but not really what I want...... then again, is it what he wants??

Now that's just tacky, to properly join the mile high club you need to do it squashed in the plane's lavatory...... ;)


Engine parts from a Spitfire, I know he'd positively drool over that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey there! I told you I was an overachieving geek... AND you did say 'shopping for gifts' :rolleyes:. So I jumped on board. :D

Oh dear..... I'm cringing already!

Perhaps it's similar to my story of that one time when we were walking past a Frederick's of Hollywood store, I tugged on his arm, battered my lashes, and said "ohh let's go in here and see what they have...." He said "no, you don't need that." Still not sure exactly what he meant by it?
