You could make it a family day and V would probably love the fish. I have a discount code for I think 20 or 30% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988943 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:11:38 +0000 citymouse 988943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks! Really interesting and historical non fiction written like a novel. Or maybe a museum day? Not sure where you live, but maybe a History museum or a period museum? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988937 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:08:10 +0000 cascademom 988937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a spa gift certificate? Are there any men's spa/salons in your area? My DH goes to one for years now and loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988851 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 20:21:37 +0000 cmomma17 988851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: have you seen the "this is what an awesome dad looks like" shirts? I think they are on etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988839 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 20:15:26 +0000 LovelyPlum 988839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought this for DH, and he loved it! It is historical fiction set in the Renaissance: </p> [attach=3423/13/mr1a5r.337x600.1375665307809.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988779 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 19:40:11 +0000 jhd 988779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like you already have some great suggestions! My DH is hard to shop for, but so am I! We usually set aside some money for a special outing (maybe a special restaurant or event) &amp; try to take pics to help us remember the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988449 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:15:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 988449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/121355232/bracelets-for-men-engraved-bracelet-mens" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/121355232/bracelets-for-men-engraved-bracelet-mens</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94638057/mens-fathers-day-leather-bracelet#zoom" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/94638057/mens-fathers-day-leather-bracelet#zoom</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79469839/guys-necklace-mens-leather-necklace" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/79469839/guys-necklace-mens-leather-necklace</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62646045/the-gunsmoke-mens-leather-bracelet-mens?ref=cat_gallery_27" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/62646045/the-gunsmoke-mens-leather-bracelet-mens?ref=cat_gallery_27</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988429 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:04:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 988429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a manly leather bracelet or necklace with LO's name or initials engraved in it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988375 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 13:16:00 +0000 rachiecakes 988375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've given DH a phone case with J's picture for a birthday, photo book of photos of them together. Maybe something like that? Or a mug/travel mug with his favorite coffee or tea? If you google there are coupon codes where you only pay for shipping. Shutterfly has a lot of deals like that and have really cute items.<br /> My DH is hard to shop for. He's so picky and kind of ridiculously practical, haha, can be frustrating when I want to get him something nice ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988358 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 13:03:45 +0000 Arden 988358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: He would LOVE that but he always works weekends... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988338 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:43:18 +0000 stargal 988338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if he is into history, what about some type of family day at a local Renaissance fair or something to that affect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988323 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:35:20 +0000 Mommytotwois 988323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following because or DH's sound like twins except the only difference is mine is just getting back into wanting to read. :happy: And he turns 23 too in a couple months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988293 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:10:52 +0000 Espion 988293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A History of the World in 100 Objects is an amusing twist on history.

My DH is really picky too about that, so I recently went into his closet and got some shirt styles and sizes and ended up ordering him a couple that were similar to ones he had but different colors. He ended up really liking them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988276 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:57:20 +0000 MrsH 988276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he have a favorite historical event? You could try a book about that. Recent history books are amazing because of all the information currently available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-birthday-gift-idea-for-dh#post-988273 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:53:09 +0000 Arden 988273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is turning 23 in a couple of weeks, and I have no idea what to get for him. Help?</p> <p>I don't have a lot of money to spend (although I really wish I did).<br /> He doesn't really like sports.<br /> He doesn't drink.<br /> He doesn't like a lot of typical "guy" stuff.<br /> He is kinda picky about clothes/shoes/everything.</p> <p>He recently lost 20 pounds.<br /> He loves to read (especially non-fiction, history, etc) but I have no book wish list from him and I don't really know what to get.<br /> He is obsessed with LO, and an amazing dad.<br /> He works a ton. Six days a week, long hours.</p> <p>Sigh. I have no idea. Somebody help? Feel free to ask questions if you need more info to come up with ideas. </p>
