Married 5 years in August. He is so tough to buy for. He isnt a sports fan of anything, only collection is hotwheels over 4k of them so never know what he has or doesnt have. I try to really listen and pay attention several months before to get ideas. He may casually mention something he likes at a store and ill write it down. We also only budget $50 for bday gifts which is tough to. I normally get him favorite candy or snack (something he doesnt get often thats more splurge type stuff) clothing, shoes (hes a shoe guy) or something hes hinted. One time I got him a keyboard set. We also always get to pick where to eat out for bday. Sometime I want to do a surprise party for him and invite everyone we know, not sure if he would like that or not lol.

I know not to get him tools as he says thats not a good gift (its just something that makes him have to work) he loves to cookout and has a smoker so maybe ill get him accessories or gift card to meat shop.

Gifts of a sexual nature are generally well-received. You've mentioned in previous posts that you're rather passive in bed. Maybe he'd like it if you changed it up and took control

Plan a nice hike someplace interesting or find a Groupon for a Segway tour. We don't give eachother material things on special occasions, we give eachother memories!

Mod cut: Quoted post deleted.

A weekend or even a night away is the obvious one.

Hi ishe, I agree with this suggestion. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a great meal, and a weekend trip would be nice too if you think he might enjoy that. Have fun!

Not his birthday, but I got my H a light saber for X-mas. We'll likely do dinner/movie for his birthday coming up, and I'll get him something. Not sure it will top a light saber.

Thanks for all the replies give me suggestions and birthday ideas, noted and appreciated.

I make this thread apart from asking for B-day gifts suggestions. I also wants to learn from others, like how they and their spouse spend the "B-Day" day; and what they get/or do for their spouse B-Day, the marriage life, etc...

This is first marriage for both of us, I'm still new to marriage. I still have plenty to learn from all the long-term relationship/marriage couples out there. Actually I have alot to learn from everyone; you won't stop learning until you die. Thank you

I've read the other responses and there are some good ones. How about NFL sunday ticket if he doesn't have it. How about a special gun. Bet he'd like that. He's kind of thrifty, so a weekend away he might consider a waste of time, but you could still spice up the action between the sheets. Maybe some book from the self help section that could give you two a couple of new ideas. Maybe some sexy pictures in or out of a new very revealing nightgown.
