Does it have to be a "thing" you buy?

A nice bottle of scotch?

or maybe a special dish you prepare--maybe it has $pecial ingredients so it's a real "treat"?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best gift is to do something for him that he can't or won't or wouldn't think to do himself. Get his favorite electronic toy repaired, make a special dish that he loves that you make very seldom, have his silver atarah polished, his favorite sefer re-bound, his tallis dry cleaned and/or the strings replaced, his diploma or teudah framed, his baseball card collection catalogued or put in an acid-free storage box instead of that old shoebox (careful with this, he may be very attached to that old shoebox), put all his loose old photos in an album, buy a new address book and list current contact info for all his friends and relatives.

I guess u didnt like my idea too much Crying

oh well. its not for u anyway!
im a huge fan of the coupon thing for giving gifts on a budget.
1 yr when we were really feeling broke I bought a book of flash cards that were perforated and made them into coupons for stuff.
so one day I was really upset at him and sulking in our bedroom when I heard him rifling through his drawer. oh no, I yelled. u better not be looking for that coupon book cuz ur not getting away with this one. lol.
its exciting to receive and then exciting every time we use it. like the time I was getting all worked up bout his socks being all over the place and he just handed me a sorry im a slob card and we both really laughed and I got over it without an argument.

hello, I wish I had an idea for u. I always feel like im full of them.
whats ur dh into?
I like the idea of talis/ atara cleaning - my dh could use 1
does he have a blackberry or palm pre. my husband luves his. maybe a bit too much.
I really wanted to get him a wii - cuz I want the wii fit.
I just got dh a martini shaker, vodka, and rum cuz hes been raving bout a drink he got somewhere.
set of luggage for the vacation hes taking u on Wink

does he like to learn? - a sefer, or gift card to the seforim store?
gift certificate for a spa? if hes the sort. dh would never go for that
