Today is my dear husband's 27th birthday. I kind of... well, haven't gotten him anything. What I ORIGINALLY wanted to get him was a CC holster; I decided against it at the last minute, though, because I know holsters can be a pretty personal preference kinda deal, and didn't want to get him something he ended up hating. I'm kind of thinking I'm just going to tell him to pick whatever one he wants out, and we'll order it.
Nothing else gift-wise really spoke to me, and I don't like buying him shit just for the sake of buying it, because he doesn't like having a lot of random crap laying around. (Yes, I could have gotten more ammo or something, but we pretty much buy it whenever we need it, so it's not exactly a special occasion kind of gift.) That said, I'm thinking I'm going to run down to our local gun shop later and pick him up a new hunting knife, which we need anyway and is a nice birthday-ish kind of gift. It's kind of an after-thought, though, so I feel guilty. I have issues with compulsory gift-giving events - too much fucking pressure!  Anyway, other components of the birthday: His best friend is driving 6 hours out here to hang out, and We're all going up to Spokane/Coeur D'Alene to go to a boxing match, and Hopefully eating at this place that serves crocodile, if I can find it, and We're meeting up with some of his Marine buddies after that to go drinking (I'll drive so they can all get shitfaced), and Yes, he'll get pie.  So, in light of all this: Would you call this a successful birthday plan, or do you think he's gonna be (i.e. would YOU be) upset about the gift aspect?

If you really want to blow your budget, buy him 20 rounds of .223. That is worth about $250 now.

I planned something along these lines, but an actual list is a great idea. Thank you! And his favorite is punkin' pie.

OUCH! Why would you even think that first?! What a lousy birthday gift! "Here honey, lay on your belly cause I have a surprise for you!" "YYAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!etc. etc."

Does it mean I'm officially desensitized to ARFCOM if I scrolled past SIIHPAPP the first time without even thinking about it?

You could stop at pie.
After that everything is just sauce on the goose. |

Pie FTW!
That's what I'm hoping for. Considering she's been "healing" since the episiotomy when she gave birth on Labor Day, and my birthday is on the 21st, man I'm just hoping she's done "healing" by then... Hopefully this isn't something more nefarious, like that "no more pie ever" diet I hear some wives are putting their husbands on... _MaH |

I am not sure how memorable you want to make this for him, too good and you will have trouble topping it in future years you know, but...
If you had the chance, starting the day off with a breakfast steak and a bj would blow his mind. Yes, men like pie. I would be happy if my wife just would agree that I don't have too many guns. (ok, and pie )/

As soon as you mentioned "knife" and "pie" you jumped many steps above "worst wife ever." It's important to keep in mind a man doesn't give a hoot about "special occasions" like women do. I never remember my birthday and wouldn't care if my wife didn't either. You sound like a GREAT wife, as you obviously care about him (and put out after eating wedding cake).

wake up with a BJ and pie
BJ as soon as he walks thru the door, pie or another BJ somewhere while you are all out partying and more pie when you get home! Thats always a good B-Day present, wife did that one year. |

Guys really don't care if everything is really planned out way in advance as long as it is fun. Knives/tools are always good gifts for guys. Men love getting gifts that reflect their interests.

Give the gift of Succubus. Spend the entire day wearing, at most, an oversized shirt. Wake him up with an oral presentation and keep him going again and again until night and he's too tired to move. Please him all day long and show no mercy doing it. Drain him dry. That is exactly the gift I want on my birthday.

I wish more of my family had this sentiment. Give him the knife, and put a card in with it saying you and he will spend some quality time together, in which he'll pick out a CC holster and you'll pay for it. The rest of the birthday plans sound A1 to me! He's a lucky guy! |

Made the hubby breakfast and gave him a ride to class.
Our local gun guy had exactly one of these stock, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I'm feeling better about this birthday thing now:   ETA: It's a good old Made-in-the-USA Buck, btw. Now, I'm off to the... um... costume store... for my... um... Halloween costume. ETA #2: The croc thing is a no-go. The restaurant has changed names/hands and no longer serves it... Working on a back-up plan.

I could care less about gifts. I grew up poor so I never got any. Just do whatever you do and make sure he knows you appreciate him. That is all that matters.And pie too. |

Pick a place to go and eat. it wont matter where. Wear a sexy short dress of some kind. When your anout done eating dinner excuse yourself to the restroom. When you return press your still warm panties into his palm under the table and give him a smile....From that point forward you can do NO wrong.....PERIOD. Let dont leave him hanging so to speak...Trust me on this, it'll be remembered a LONG time.
