He always says "just get me whatever".
I want it to be special. Hmmmmmm, any ideas? What do men want....lol? All ideas would be appreciated
All men want different things. You need to try to get it out of him instead of asking strangers on the internet. Almost all of my guy friends are different, what one would want and enjoy as a xmas gift the others would not. Some guys would be happy with a new plasma HD tv, other guys would not because they really want an 1080p LCD HDTV instead.

Some guys like cologne, other guys dont like it or are very specific about the colognes they wear. Some want Xbox, others prefer Playstation.

What kinds of things is your husband into? Gaming? Guns? Computers (Mac or PC)?

Every year my wife asks me the same thing. When I tell her what I want, she asks me why I need it. No matter what I ask for she says the same thing, what do you need that for. So I stopped telling her, and tell her that I can't think of anything.

an assortment of tools is always welcome. Lol that comment above 'quiet time without being nagged' is the best post I've seen yet considering the context.

It depends on his hobbies and interests. I find it too easy to buy presents for my boyfriend. Columbia jackets, sportsgear, undershirts, Snap on tools, parts for his dirt bike... the list is endless. Plus giftcards to his favorite restaurants would also work. Bookstore giftcards too. His favorite beer...

I just bought him a motorcycle rainsuit off of eBay. Someone in RI is parting out a dirt bike and he'd like to have the engine from it.

I was only asking strangers on the internet for ideas...geesh you act like you cant get ideas from other people. Luckily I have gotten some pretty good ones that i wouldnt have thought of, so i am glad i asked.

They want TOYS. Something he wouldn't go out and buy but will enjoy playing with. Does he have a GPS in his car? Does he have fishing equipment? the latest electronic gadgets? Does he spend time outside? How about one of those wireless speakers that goes outside or a huge, shiny, stainless steel barbeque? How about hard to get tickets for a sports team?
I don't know how much you can spend, but how about one of those race car driving schools? I think they have like week long courses. Some men might even like cooking school? You know your man. I bet you'll figure out something good.

Tools. No guy can ever have too many tools.

Unless of course he is a metrosexual. Then get him sime nice lavender scented bath oil.

We never say waht we want becuase if we wnat something, we go buy it. Duh.

I never understood that - "Why won't you ever tell me what you want for gifts?" Well you can wrap up any of the things that I just bought and give them to me. It all comes out of the smae bank account anyway.
