Thanks for all the suggestions, but my hub generally takes care of himself- that's just the problem! And if I would get him ex: a scarf he would not think its a gift Confused

His 1st b-day after we married I bought him a gold pen w/ his name engraved - which he lost shortly after- I know he would love a new one, but I'm not replacing it so fast!

He doesn't wear cologne or cufflinks- so that's ruled out.

I was gonna buy a buy a mens valet a couple of times, but our room is tight in space & I saw that they are priced at $250 aproximately!!!

A gadget sounds good - but what????

You can get men's valets for a lot less. Check BB& B the have one for $100 that is not big. I know there is another thread discussing valets that had a lot of ideas that were not a fortune.

does he like to do house work - get him a tool he really wants.

Is he a big learner - get him a new shtender

Does he like wine - get him some glasses and a wine testing set

Does he like wiskey - get him some funky shnapps cups

does he like coffee - get him a nice percolator

does he work in an office - get him a small refrigerator, or microwave, or USB can cooler or warmer (those things are cool!) or a digital picture frame for his desk.

What about a comfortable desk chair for him to use when learning or doing paperwork in the house - it depends on where you have to keep it. You can some nice ones at Staples without spending a lot.

Can't think of any specific hobby.
He does things around the house, but just recently bought himself an electric drill.

An I-pod or Mp3 player to listen to music and shiurim?
New shoes (nice brand on a bargain).
Nice sweaters.... or a package of many small handy items and cookies!

My DH would LOVE good dark chocolate.

Just keep in mind that you want something for HIM not YOU. I'm stressing this bec a few times I mentioned to DH that maybe I'll buy him a valet and he told me thst I can buy it if I want but I should know its not for him but would be for myslef.

thanks - I thought about that too (in re: valet) but he would appreciate it I think... all those I searched online I didnt like & the ones in stores were expensive... I guess ill keep on wracking my brains...
