Mine also loves a good pair of slippers which I can't manage to find in his mondo size....I digress!!!<BR/><BR/>How about buying an experience? A hot air balloon ride over God's country, day at the man spa - my husband went and LOVED it and he's a man's man....<BR/><BR/>Good luck and have a great time!!<BR/><BR/>SandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093809207544740012.post-59274622081927019222008-05-15T21:30:00.000-05:002008-05-15T21:30:00.000-05:00Diva:On the slipper front, I highly recommend the ...Diva:<BR/><BR/><BR/>On the slipper front, I highly recommend the Tempurpedic slippers. They are amazing. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I'm kinda stuck for suggestions. We now do the amazing-dinner-at-amazing-restaurant-we -would-never-go-to-unless-it-is-special-occasion-like our-birthday thing. We don't need stuff, so we've decided that an awesome dinner at a top restaurant is the way to go because it's an event/something you always remember.<BR/><BR/>The other thing would be to go away to a B&B for a night, but depends on your birthday budget --sounds like you've gotten him a lot of stuff already.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, good luck with the shopping!<BR/><BR/>JBJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093809207544740012.post-48348795154358532032008-05-15T14:15:00.000-05:002008-05-15T14:15:00.000-05:00You want memorable?

Travels a lot for work and is so happy he doesn't have to print out Google maps anymore!<BR/><BR/>Got it on sale at Best Buy for $250 (down from close to $400 - woot!). <BR/><BR/>Don't know if your hubs would be interests in something like this but it might be something to think about!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093809207544740012.post-64444485793233092652008-05-15T08:07:00.000-05:002008-05-15T08:07:00.000-05:00DH is next to impossible to buy for, too... I thin...DH is next to impossible to buy for, too... I think the only 2 gifts I managed to get him that he really loved were:<BR/><BR/>- an iPod for his 30th (except he was involved in buying that, so it kinda took the fun out of it *sigh*)<BR/>- a share in VW for our first anniversary from frame-a-stock (he just got his annual dividend cheque... a whopping $0.28 *laugh*)<BR/><BR/>He would also say the best b-day gift he got was me agreeing to marry him... silly boy. but since you've already married your guy, I guess that's out ;)<BR/><BR/>Umm.... another snake? A share in microshaft (or another, less evil company?)? A home-made coupon book with vouchers for you to do things you normally don't like to do but that he might appreciate you doing for him (and no, I'm not referencing any seasonal confectionary items *laugh*)<BR/><BR/>Henry's gift cards that he can bank until you buy him enough of them to get a dSLR?<BR/><BR/>I suck at this game, sorry :( Good Luck!!celtic_kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711592328361908844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093809207544740012.post-51268576267390671072008-05-15T06:55:00.000-05:002008-05-15T06:55:00.000-05:00What about a new bathrobe to go along with those n...What about a new bathrobe to go along with those new slippers? <BR/>Or a subscription to a gaming magazine? I'm a fan of those because 12 times a year, they get a reminder of how thoughtful you were on their birthday ;) <BR/>Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093809207544740012.post-56464946736770802172008-05-15T02:27:00.000-05:002008-05-15T02:27:00.000-05:00I wish I could help you Diva Jen - but the last sp...I wish I could help you Diva Jen - but the last special gift I bought for my husband (for V-day) was Chris Rock tickets...and that was going to be my suggestion for you...although for this year I am thinking about an experience gift - like one hour of flying a helicopter...and I know you have been down the experience route before - but - maybe there are new ones...and if all else fails - what about a night away togeher?<BR/>CamillaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
