does he use aftershave? Bath and Body has some neat smelly good stuff for men if he likes that kind of stuff.

does he play cards? Maybe a new card game (we like Rook)

hard candies (my dh's fav is old fashioned lemon drops)

Ugh...men are hard...I can't think of anything else. Maybe a soft tee shirt and lounge pants if he likes those.

Good ideas! He is really Reaaly hard. He cuts his own hair, doesnt wear smelly stuff, likes MY cooking, doesnt collect things...

I do like the idea of lounge pants and a new shirt
starbucks card
pens are good ,because there is a specific pen he likes


Thanks! Keep the ideas coming!!!!

Movie tickets? My dh loves when I buy him a couple of movie tickets to use as a date night later. Our Costcos in CA sell them in pairs for $14.99.

Jackie, does he normally travel much? A new men's travel case, perhaps filled with travel sized shampoo, deodorant, mouthwash, new toothbrush, etc. might be nice. In fact, I bought John a new duffel bag for his upcoming trips to spring training and I might add in a travel case, too!
