Whoa, you sure know how to throw a nice birthday party for your husband, you are a great wife! I admire you.</p> <p>Thank you for your suggestions, we do have Smartphone. He does phone me everytime he on his break. I do miss my husband, and him working 2 jobs is just till 2016, for one year only.<br /> If financial goes as plan, next year we will have enough money to buy a small house, and then he be back to work 1 job.</p> <p>We live in a not so good environment neighborhood. But the cheap rent here sure helps us save up more money every month.<br /> BUT he wants to buy a house, so we can raise our children in a better environment area. You know what I mean? We don't want to raise a baby in an bad neighborhood area full of gangs, drugs and violence.<br /> We do want the best for our future children, that is why we obsess with saving up money for our future.</p> <p>Right now he working so much just to put money into Saving, so we can have enough money to buy our house.<br /> And of course to save money rainy days, and to save money for a baby next year. After 2016, he will be back to work 1 job, so we better start saving up as much money as we can now.</p> <p>My husband doesn't want me to spend alot of money on his B-day, he very responsible with money. Every month all his working money is to pay Rent/Bills, and the remaining goes to his Saving account.</p> <p>We married for 4 months already, and I do not recall him buy one single thing for himself.<br /> For him is Save to pay off the house as much as we can in Cash. And Save for the baby, and Save for rainy days.<br /> I never saw a guy that love to Save as much like him, he is like obsess with Saving, even more obsess than me and I like to save too. Is my husband NORMAL?</p> <p>I mean the good side is he responsible and serious about our future.<br /> I feel terrible. He works 14 hours every single day, and never complain one single word.<br /> His local Truck driving job is already tired, and he also work in the Warehouse. His Warehouse job is even more tired. Everyday he loading, unloading, stacking, lifting, carrying heavy stuff all day.<br /> I feel bad for him. I do appreciate him alot. I think I should be his servant on his Birthday day. I dunno, maybe give him a massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-husbandso-what-you-get-need-ideas-for-husband-b-day-gift#post-2180358 Sat, 16 May 2015 09:23:41 +0000 regberadaisy 2180358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jasmine: do you and Your husband have a smartphone? I was just thinking a smartphone might not be a bad idea since he works so much. That way you can skype or FaceTime during his breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-husbandso-what-you-get-need-ideas-for-husband-b-day-gift#post-2180356 Sat, 16 May 2015 09:19:37 +0000 regberadaisy 2180356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you can get him to take a day off a day together sounds like a great idea. Let him sleep in, take him to a football game if his birthday is during the season. Maybe try to call his friends and surprise him with a dinner out at a restaurant?</p> <p>For my husband's 30th we threw him a surprise party then on his actual birthday I surprised him with a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls.<br /> He is a huge football fan too and in years past I've surprised him with 50yrd line tickets in the 100 levels. Personalsized NFL jersey for his favorite team. </p> <p>I'm sure whatever you do he will love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-husbandso-what-you-get-need-ideas-for-husband-b-day-gift#post-2180225 Sat, 16 May 2015 05:59:57 +0000 thestairs 2180225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you 'catlady, mamaof2' for all those that take out your precious time to help give me suggestions and ideas, appreciated.</p> <p>I make this thread apart from asking for B-day gifts suggestions/ideal ways to show appreciation to your spouse on his birthday.<br /> 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...</p> <p>I got married 4 months ago, I'm still a newlywed, so I still have plenty to learn from those long-term marriage couples out there.<br /> Happy weekend to everyone here on HelloBee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-husbandso-what-you-get-need-ideas-for-husband-b-day-gift#post-2177659 Thu, 14 May 2015 07:10:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2177659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't do gifts but for your DH how about some range time so he can shoot guns or a big basket full of healthy snacks that he take to work with him.

What did you get for your husband/SO for B-day, please give some ideas.<br /> Like what your plan for your spouse B-Day? What you buy for him/her as gifts? Can you share what did you get for your spouse b-day?<br /> I mean beside the obvious, you know, sex...</p> <p> ------------------------------------------<br /> My husband will be turning 30 years old, yah! He finally catch up with me--his wife because I'm 30, and I always feel bad that he is younger than me 1 year.<br /> I have a husband that is kindda hard to buy him gifts, he just not the typical guy. He doesn't have much hobbies. He have alot of "self-controlled" and he very 'level-headed"<br /> I explained below, as I not sure what to get him for his B-Day</p> <p>Husband is a hygiene freak and he is a health freak. He does not drink, he does not smoke, not even smoke a cigarette a cigarette.<br /> He's quite sensitive when it come to the drinking alcohol topic. Because lost his older sister in a car crash accident caused by a drunk driver. He hates drunk drivers, no way he will let any alcohol in his bloodstream.</p> <p>He work for a Truck company. Being a local Truck driver required No DUI, No DOT violations, passed all drugs or alcohol test. Passed all background check, and passed all random drugs test too.<br /> So working at this job, drugs and drinking is out of the question for him. So no Whisky, no beer, no alcohol as present for his B-Day, not an option.</p> <p>His dad deceased when he as young, so he works alot to help out his mom. He responsible with money, he make sure he put money in his Saving account every month. He have perfect Credit scores. He Debt-free, never have Credit-card debt.<br /> None of us have any kind of debt, we both debt-free and I like both of us to stay this way.<br /> I don't think he wants to open another Credit-cards, he not a big spender.</p> <p>He have a big Van car, and a motorcycle. Which both he bought with his own money and pay it off himself, he had these prior to met me.<br /> He doesn't need another car or motorcycle for his B-Day.</p> <p>He doesn't really have much hobbies. He doesn't like to play Video games, he have zero interest in video games. And I never saw him play it, just not his thing.</p> <p>He also never go online, unless he needs to put in an online application for a job. He already have a laptop, he doesn't need another one when he never go online.<br /> All communications are through his Cell phone, perhaps I should get him a new cell phone for his B-Day?</p> <p>He doesn't even like to watch TV unless it is News, he loves loves News. He will died if he don’t watch News on TV for one day, lol<br /> Oh, he loves NFL Football, News and NFL Football would make him happy.</p> <p>He does have buddies (his childhood friends), but he work so much right now. All he have time for his work long hours, go home shower, eat and sleep, and next day repeat.<br /> I do encourage him to go watch NFL Football with them, because me--his wife doesn't know anything about Football. Perhaps let him freely go hang out with his buddies on his B-day?</p> <p>He likes to go to Gym to work out, keep his body stay fit and in shape. He 6'1 and he weight 170 lbs, so he is an average weight guy.<br /> He also likes Guns, the both outdoor and indoor shooting ranges. But uh... not something I like.</p> <p>He loves to read Newspaper. And Books, but he only like 2 type of books, that is “War” book sand “Politics” books.<br /> I did get him a "War" book for his B-Day once, but he pretty much have all the Books that he likes.</p> <p>And clothes, he have his own 'style' of clothes. So I don't go shopping for his clothes, maybe just a jacket.<br /> Food? he have all different food dishes that I cook for him everyday. Even when he work late at night, I still cook for him in the middle of the night so he can have fresh meals to eat. So cooking for him on his B-Day is like cooking for him everyday, nothing special about it.</p> <p>He have baby fever, so he probably wants a baby for his B-Day present, lol<br /> But I told him I won't TTC until 2016, I want to spend one year with him before we have a baby.</p> <p> So that pretty much is my husband. Boring 29 years old guy he is right? But he is an awesome husband. He loving and caring to me, he treats me right.<br /> and he working his butt off 2 jobs right now, everyday working 12-14 hours.. so we can have enough money as fast as we can buy a small house in 2016, and TTC<br /> I hate debt, so it me that keep insist on aim at 50% down-payment/Less mortgage, that why he have to pick up a 2nd job, poor guy.</p> <p>I don't know what to get for my husband his B-day, he pretty much have all the things he needs.<br /> If you have a boring husband like me, what your plan for his B-Day? Like what would you get for his B-Day?<br /> beside the sex, I mean like in gifts, B-Day gifts..</p> <p>Maybe see if we both can take few days off from work, and go on a mini vacation?<br /> This is our first year together as 'married couple', so I want to do something memorable for his b-day.</p> <p>We know know each others 4 years total. We live in the same neighborhood; that was how we met, dated and married.<br /> Because our distance is very close, so we do see each others everyday. And when you see each others on the daily basic; so the sparks and flirting would died out fast.The sparks/honeymoon phase pretty much has been over for us since long time ago. I'm thankful that he still find me attractive after he married me.<br /> BUT then I have no idea what to do for his b-day. We just know each others so well, there no surprises about us anymore.</p> <p>Sorry for my bad English grammars, English is my third language. </p>
