but he also has a PS2 and the PSP and they both sit around the house collecting dust and taking up space - so i think that would be a waste of money for him - thank for the suggestion though.

I think electronics. He's probably already given you hints you just don't realize it.

If he is eying the PS3, that's what I'd get him.
XBox is also popular
Games for the Wii?

Does he computer game? If so, a controller. I'll look it up and give you a link if he does play.
Parts for the computer?
How old is your computer & monitor?
Keyboard & mouse?

Yes. If he'll use it. I wouldn't stop there though and would get some accessories too, like to plug it into the car.
How about a GPS for the car?

I thought about getting him a personalized mets Jersey?

I got my son a Mets jacket a few years ago, he loves it. One of his friends who also likes the Mets had to have one too.

MLB Apparel - I bought the black jacket, bottom of the page.

Sports Fan outlet
Mets store

What kind of car does he drive? I got my son custom seat covers for his Mazda 3. They are great seat covers and not cheap (custom fitted). They make a great gift, they also custom print dash liners with teams.

edit - flannel lined jeans are also great.

Just under two hours though, mostly putting and driving range tips.
He had fun, and I sat at the Clubhouse drinking Blue Moon's w/ orange slices.

LOL It's a good question, but we know the answer. Sometimes I ask my husband what he'd like for his birthday. Do you want to go into the city for the day? How about a show? He just stands there and looks at me. I'm thinking, is that the only thing on your mind? Other than pool league and football, yes it is.

How about a half day at a spa with a couples massage and a glass of champagne, etc. If he's the type of guy who wouldn't be caught dead in one of those places, maybe a night away somewhere. I know that those seem like anniversary or Valentines gifts, but some gifts are always appropriate. Everyone is so busy these days it seems as though there is no free or down time. If you've done that recently, not such a great idea. It might be nice to look forward to that in January if you're totally fried after the holidays.

My girlfriends and I went to a B&B in Lambertville for the night last January. It wasn't until the next day at breakfast that we realized that we'd had the place to ourselves. The owners stayed off site. We would have made so much more noise if we'd known! After we were served a lovely breakfast, we walked around town and shopped.

My husband really doesn't like the great outdoors that much. He used to, but not any more. The greatest gift that he could give to me would be a camping weekend, an all day hike, or some day trips to historic sites.

Kind of like the Gift of the Magi, only you really know the answer.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
I think i'm leaning towards the ipod touch (he would use it for the gym)
he currently has the cheapest 20.00 MP3 :- )
I was thinking about getting him the hard case (in case it fell)
and also the band to wear around your arm so his hands are free.

If you could think of others things please post - Thanks

If case anyone is still wondering :-) I think I decided what I'm getting my husband...
I think i'm going to get him a video camera (we have the older models mini cassettes and its been driving him nuts)
