When I’m looking for gifts for my husband, I either look for things that are related to his interests and hobbies, or I get something every guy likes: the latest electronic gadget. I haven’t met a man yet who doesn’t get excited over his GPS or whatever other new toy he’s gotten to play with.
The gift ideas for my husband that I’ve selected for this article come from both categories. These are all things that I think my hubby would like. Your mileage may vary, but hopefully other guys will like them as well.
First of all, while looking for Christmas gifts for my husband, I’m looking for something that will really wow him. I want something expensive enough that he won’t expect it, but not so expensive that I’ll be broke for months trying to catch up. This Panasonic 32-inch LCD TV with iPod dock fits the bill perfectly, and it’s just the right size for our living room. You’ll have to click through to Amazon.com to find out the price because it’s “too low to display,” but let’s just say it’s quite a bit less than I thought it would be. Maybe our old 27″ TV will finally get retired this year.
Some of these gift ideas for my husband were easier to come up with than others. This one jumped out at me mostly because I was browsing for ideas on Amazon.com every time you go there the first thing you see is the Kindle. I know he will like this because he has already downloaded the home computer version and actually uses it. I’d have to get two though, so I won’t feel left out! It’s been on the top of my wish list for a long time.
My hubby is really into geocaching, so one of the best birthday gifts for my husband would be a new GPS. I think he’d really like this Delorme Earthmate PN-60. It has a lot of features but the most important one is of course that it supports paperless geocaching, meaning that if my hubby had this GPS, he could log into his account at Geocaching.com and download the caches he wants to go find.
A list of gifts for my husband would not be complete without a watch. He loves watches, the more expensive and gaudy looking, the better. OK, so his taste in watches and mine don’t match up, but all that matters is that he likes it, right? Unfortunately, I’m a long way from being able to afford this TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Indy 500 Grande date chronograph watch. (Wow, that was a mouthful!) At over $900, it’s going to have to stay on the “wish list” for awhile. I guess he’ll have to settle for that TV.
All right, just two more gifts for my husband and the next one is related to another one of his hobbies: fishing. He hasn’t been fishing lately, but maybe it’s just because he really could use a new fishing rod. This Ready 2 Fish bass fishing rod comes with the reel, some sinkers and a couple of jig heads. Throw in a few lures and he’s good to go.
The last gift for my husband is a RediCheck remote cooking thermometer. This might seem like an odd choice for a guy, but my hubby is going to school to become a chef so this is something he would really like and get plenty of use out of. This meat thermometer is great for guys who like to barbecue because they can program the desired temperature and then walk up to 100 feet away and when the meat is done, the thermometer will send a signal to the receiver that will cause the alarm to sound. This way, your guy can enjoy the party while the meat is cooking without having to hover over the grill.
Gag Birthday Gift Ideas
Need some gag birthday gift ideas? Some of these are for over the hill celebrations while others will work for recipients of all ages. These are the best gag birthday gifts I could find.
The control a woman remote control is a guy’s dream come true. Just push a button to get food, sex or beer. It even has a mute button! Too bad it doesn’t really work.
These old fart farting slippers are a hoot, and they’re comfortable too, so they’re practical as well as hilarious. This is a great gag birthday gift for anyone who is getting up in years.
The Senior Moments board game is another great gag gift for an over the hill party. This is a memory game for those who are starting to lose theirs.
For those approaching retirement age, the over the hill decision maker is the perfect gag birthday gift. Just roll it to decide between TV, golf, fishing, eating, napping or shopping.
The bullshit button is certainly one of the loudest birthday gag gifts. Just press the button whenever any is detected to set off a loud noise and announcement.
The shift happens and panic button set is perfect for the computer lover. This gag birthday gift includes two of each button. The buttons have peel and stick backings.
These gag birthday gift ideas are sure to get a laugh–if not from the birthday guy or gal, then certainly from everyone else at the party. Choose your favorite from these gag birthday gifts or click here to see more gag birthday gift ideasat Amazon.com.
Sentimental Gifts for Dad
Sentimental gifts for dad are not easy to find. I guess that’s because men have been stereotyped as not being very sensitive or sentimental. However, I have managed to find a few nice sentimental gifts that will express to your dad just how you feel about him.
My top choice is the 8″ digital photo frame that is engraved with the National Baseball Hall of Fame logo. There is baseball stitching on the sides and underneath the photo area it says “Hall of Fame Dad.” This digital frame has a high resolution screen and comes with a black leather frame that can be interchanged with the baseball frame. The thing I like best about this gift for dad is that it can store over a thousand 800 by 600 pixel images.
The “My Heart Belongs to Dad” frame is only 4 inches by 4 inches but put a picture of his little angel in it and dad will treasure it forever. It’s the perfect size to place on his desk at work.
“A Message for My Father” is a poem that is framed in an 8×10 double-matted frame. It has a picture of a sailboat and the poem was written by a daughter for her father.
The next sentimental gift for dad is a 4-inch by 6-inch photo frame with the words “daddy’s girl” on the bottom. The frame is made from wood that is painted black and the words are metal.
The collectible “I love you dad” lighted cube is a sentimental gift for dad that will be treasured for years. The words glow in green when the LED light is turned on.
The last of the sentimental gifts for dad is this 8×10 framed poem. The title of the poem is “A Tribute to My Dad” and it is framed with a navy blue double mat.
All of these gifts would make great Father’s Day gifts or birthday gives for dad.
