I have always found that men are nearly impossible to shop for. Can you all please give some ideas? Guys themselves can post on things they would like to receive as a gift, and girls who have found “successful” gifts should post those ideas as well. Thanks in advance!
1.TOOLS
2.EXPENSIVE PEN SET
3.CLASSY CUFF LINKS
4.TOOLS
5.NEW TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICE
6.COZY BATHROBE/SLIPPERS
7.TOOLS
8.GIFT CERTIFICATE AT A SEFORIM STORE FOR $5,OOO
9.REMOTE GARAGE OPENER,CAN OPENER,DRAWER OPENER…
10.TOOLS
HOPE THIS HELPS.
A Rolex.
Ties, really, really, cool ties, Pucci, Hermes, etc.
If I got any of these gifts, I would have to hide my tears.
Squeak…did you ever see “In the Doghouse”by Aish.com?You might appreciate it.It’s about getting the wrong present.
A pony would make very very happy! (seeing as I already have the tools, pens, ties, cufflinks, ect, ect, ect)
and park the pony in your driveway on 13th ave.?
eclipse,
link please? or repost?
Then you can simply gallop thru traffic….
No, I’d block the neiiigh-bors driveway (get it.. neiigh)
I’m sure Blinky will get it
(and I’m about to get a potch from my fellow BPer who does’nt share my sense of humor when it comes to blocking driveways)
. . . a big can of paint and a few tubes of caulk.
BP, nice idea, but who cleans up after the pony? That would be a gift with strings attached.
“eclipse’s” ideas (above) are all excellent, depending, of course, on the person.
I’m not sure how you came up with the $5,000 amount for the seforim store though! Depending on one’s financial means, even 50 or 100 dollars would be nice.
Remember this: Men are basically just older boys. We like our toys. So, other than seforim, most (not all, but most) guys like our adult toys, which, as eclipse mentioned, include things like electronic gadgets, tools, etc.
Who cleans up after the pony? Maybe a “hooov”er vaccum?
Ok BPT- that was a bad joke!
I don’t know how to post the link but go to Aish.com’s Jewlarious videos.
A few men gift ideas…….. For the guy who never asks direction – a GPS is a great gift. And for the guy who talks on his cell when driving – installing a “parrot” bluetooth is a good idea. Also, a starter that you can start your car from indoors when it’s freezing outside is a super gift.
lkwdfellow, YOU had the best idea. GPS is the best gift for a man!!!!
GPS’s are for WOMEN!!!
REAL men can find the destination without no girlie GPS!!!
(just kidding)
sounds like boring presents, gift card to best buy sounds better.
squeak,it is a J Tube video,where I told you (Aish.com) called “In the Doghouse”.
Everyone on this present thread will probably enjoy it.
Plant vs Zombies for the Iphone.
A GPS is popular ’cause every guy in the world would choose a soft,calm,endlessly-patient woman’s voice gently telling him”re-routing” for the 14th time,to his wife screeching”Will you stop being such a (?) and ASK DIRECTIONS ALREADY???”
Don’t look at me,I never did that.Some of my friends,however,….
“a soft,calm,endlessly-patient woman’s voice “
That, and the Brittish accent, which makes even the most mundane things sound so intellegent!

Tryingmybest: You have a singing GPS?
the difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys. depends who the man is…but cufflinks as someone suggested are nice if the guy wears them. Paul Fredricks has nice monogram shirts.
The difference between girls and women is the cost of their clothes.
pba, the difference between girls and women is the cost of their “Jewels”!
pba nd aries,
use a more generic term like cost of their maintenance. That includes clothes, jewels, shoes, boots, shoes, handbags and shoes.
charlie brown: just hope you don’t end up with a “high maintenance” product once you grow up! 😉
eclipse I loved tht video as well, here’s the link: http://www.aish.com/j/jt/Jtube_The_Dog_House.html
Nothing like a good pair of socks.

You forgot to mention shoes.

A coupon to just sit back and relax at home for x amount of time, without having to clean ect…by the way this could also go for women….

Well…it just happened so I dont want that the girl or her parents are going to read it and know its them…but lets just say it was not fun
Bummer.
