I never really know what to buy for men, with girls i usually have a go to gift if i can't think of something a little more personal, but with the opposite sex i am at a loss.
Also it's his 30th so i can't exactly be like "oh i love you...here is a card i drew and breakfast i made" it has to be something significant or at least something that will last past breakfast time...
So yesterday i made a list of things my boyfriend likes...
- Steelbooks (has tons, very expensive and he could well buy the same film before his birthday rendering my gift useless)
- History/The vikings (i thought about getting him a book but he doesn't read all that often and it would probably just get left unread)
- Music (his taste is techno and frankly i would rather avoid listening to that at all cost, love of my life or not i shan't be endorsing any more playing of that then is necessary)
- Whiskey, now this is a good one but i know his friends will buy him a bottle for sure.
And the list went on and on (well actually that was about it, as i am a crappy girlfriend and apparently don't know what my boyfriend is really into :/ ) But then i had a brain wave! the lightbulb popped on and my eyes were opened...yes it was that epic!
Maaybe i should get him something Whiskey related but that will last and always remind him of what a wonderful and thoughtful girlfriend i am...so i trawled through Etsy's 42 Whiskey related pages and came up with some of my favourite options... Here they are...
What do you think? at the moment my favourite choices are 2 or 4 because we are moving into a new apartment soon and they would look pretty nice on the walls, as would 1 or 8. Or maybe i could get him a set of glasses with the coasters. I am just not sure..
Also do you have any other ideas for birthday gifts suitable for men? do you have a go to gift when you can't think of something a little more personal?? .answers on a postcard please (or even better in the comments box) ;)
