| What can I get him for Valentine's Day?
Posted: 1/12/2007 12:46:16 PM | Ok so just a little background. My husband and I met in April and got married in June. For Christmas rather than getting him gifts he wanted like the Play Station 3 I got him things he needed like decent looking clothes vs. holey T-shirts and holey jeans.
My husband is a closet geek. He tries to be cool and hip, but unless something new is technology or TV/Movie related he is clueless. He tries to watch sports and some he genuinely enjoys, but others I know he merely pretends to like so that others won't think he is nuts.
I have googled gifts for him for V.Day, and gotten some interesting tips ranging from lingerie to an executive ball scratcher, oh and I can't forget the boobie stress reliever balls. The last two made me laugh.
The lingerie is a great idea, but I am on a Wal*Mart budget. I know he won't like chocolates or a poem, but I still want the gift to be great and at the same time romantic.
So what gifts have you gotten in the past that blew your mind? I really don't want this holiday to bomb as badly as Christmas did.
Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. | |

Good Luck | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 1:04:27 PM | You didnt' get him the Playstation 3 for Christmas?? And he wanted it?? That makes sense, lol.
Get him that for Valentines..he was probably disappointed because you got him something you wanted to get him as opposed to actually getting him something he wants.. that's part of what holidays are for..making people happy???
ahm and yeah..I agree with the handcuffs as well...throw in a blindfold and a whip....
Put the playstation on layaway...give it to him for no reason when you have it paid off. | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 1:27:21 PM | With all these handcuffs laying around, I don't think we'll have much time for the XBox, but, whatever it takes...
I don't want to hijack this thread, so, I won't post after this.
Thanks for the 'smile', Hug_Seeker... | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 2:43:41 PM | Well I am certainly grateful for the responses that I have gotten.
I didn't know they made ball scratchers either until yesterday that is. Anyhow, in regards to the gifts I did get him, I got him things he needs to get where he wants to be. In reality he does want them he just doesn't know how to ask for them. He did drop hints about sweaters etc.
I would have bought him a video game, but we had a small budget, and games get pricey, plus everytime I found a game I could afford he went out and bought. The little shit.
As far as the new game system goes, when he starts pitching in more financially and around the house it might just happen.
Just so you all don't think I am a biatch I work two jobs each day and put in over 12 hours, he works one and is there for 4-5 hours if I am lucky. Then he complains about how demanding his job is (oh and he works for a local fast food chain). It honestly makes me want to smack him upside the head.
Anyhow, the handcuffs are a great idea, and I will put them at the top of my list. I could even couple this with a basket, lingerie and tickets to a hockey game I'd really rather not see.
As far as talking to his buddies go, he hasn't got very many, and the one who has known him the longest is on my bad side right now. Long story short, my husband told him to man up and so he left him on the side of the road in the pouring rain. I had to drive over an hour to get him, making us late for my best friend's birthday party. When I called to let him know that I found his behavior completely unacceptable he called me a B*tch and hung up. The most I have spoken to him was at the family Christmas party after he split his head open as I was taking him to the ER.
Thanks again for the advice, but I'll keep my ears out for more. | |

Posted: 1/16/2007 10:38:59 AM | I personally think that is the best gift idea of all. You crack me up. I wish I could get him working more hours, but right now it's just not possible. Not because the hours aren't available etc, but because he isn't well trained. And well as much as I hate to say it, if I were a manager I wouldn't hire him.
Anywho, does anyone have any romantic, but not sexual gift ideas? I love the sexy ideas, but I may not be feeling particularly amorous that night, or I may not be able to even if I am. SO I would love to have a back up plan. | |

Find a friend that you know your husband will enjoy...dress her up like Lara Croft and you can dress up like Astro Boy and I'm sure he'll be in heaven...
Don't forget the camcorder or the nipple clamps... | |

Posted: 1/17/2007 9:12:49 AM | how about something a little more romantic and less sexual? I realize everyone is at different stages of relationships, and for some that kind of thing would fit right in with where they are. For me, its still early days yet....
I dont want to give anything too suggestive, just something that is a token of how much I care about him.
Sometimes a card can say it all!! | |

Posted: 1/17/2007 9:52:01 AM | Ok we are married so the three-way thing is totally out of the question. Prior to getting married I know he would have been all for it, but we both agreed prior to getting married that we would never experiment with others after we got married. (This came as the result of seeing a loved one's marriage destroyed by the swinger lifestyle.)
Personally I am not at all into women, yes we are beautiful and our bodies can be gorgeous, but I am just not turned on by them.
I too am seeking something romantic, yet unsexual for a gift for him, but I want something better than a card. | |

Posted: 1/17/2007 10:01:36 AM | I gotta say... as a guy... I would much rather a "sexy" Valentine gift than a "romantic" one. Romantic is what he is supposed to give to you, because it's what you want. Sexy is what you are supposed to give to him, because it's what he wants...
I could be wrong... but, it's soooo rare...  | |

Posted: 1/17/2007 1:45:59 PM | Ok the handcuffs are a great idea, but we already have the bondage straps so they would be kind of overdoing it no?
I am so glad you told me that men only want sex and not romance. I never would have figured that out. On a serious note, he is different yes sexy is great, but he wants to connect on a deeper level, or at least that's what he tells me.
As far as the beer goes we are mormon so we don't drink, coffee, tea, or any form of alcoholic beverages, we also don't smoke or do drugs, and we aren't supposed to have sex before we get married.
I could however get him his favorite soda and chill it. HEHE | |

Posted: 1/17/2007 4:30:21 PM | Gift giving is as much about presentation as it is content...
How about giving him a series of several small gifts... each with a clue leading to the next one... perhaps with some common theme... and a meeting with you as the final surprise. | |

Posted: 1/18/2007 2:39:57 PM | First of all let me just say how much I laughed as I read some of these.
Second Mormons have not practiced polygamy since the 1848. I don't know why it still follows us around, but it does get kind of annoying. If you have questions ask I'd be glad to answer them in a private email.
Now on to the heart of the matter.
Simlasa I sincerely appreciate your feedback. I love the idea, but now I need your help to make it work. I need to figure out how to connect rinkside hockey tickets to lingerie.
His favorite sport is Hockey and although I hate it, it won't kill me to attend one game with him. HEHE I also plan on getting him some lingerie so how can this be connected?
We are planning on doing dinner somewhere nice, but not too nice so I am thinking of going to dinner near the rink so we can hop on over, but I don't want to give anything away until we are there. If I could I would make him ride blindfolded, but I know that wouldn't happen.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have. | |
