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!
A weekend trip. A nice dinner someplace you wouldn't usually go.
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 think this is a great idea. And its a 'gift' he will certainly remember!!!!
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.
