Since Ducky's asking, I will too.
Andrew's birthday is on Aug. 5th, and I am at a total loss of what to give him/do for his birthday.
I can already predict some of the answers I'm sure I'll get, steak and a bj, anal(which he doesn't want), etc....
I do think I'll buy some new lingerie, but I don't know what to do for a PRESENT...
Finer things in life for him are car things, and I don't know nothin about nothin when it comes to that!! I do know that he installed an intake a few months ago, but I don't know what else he needs/wants/plans to do...
OOH, side note, how do you surprise your W or H with a gift when your checking account is shared? Do you withdraw money then use that cash to pay at the store?

Re: Since Ducky's asking, I will too.
What about a DVD Box set he would like? Or maybe some car washing supplies or something like that? A guy interested in cars can never have too much Turtle Wax.
As far as surprising my DH, it's not very hard because he just makes the money--I manage it. He never bothers to check the account, so I can get away with gifting pretty much whenever I want. However, if he did look, I'd probably go with withdrawing the cash and paying at the store.
But when I was working (SAHM now), I'd put $150 a week (weekly paycheck) in our joint checking for paying bills, as did he, and the rest was my "play" money (to include eating out as well). Having a personal checking made gift giving easy. We both had passwords and what not to each others' personal accounts just to have it available should one have a problem, need funds transferred while at work, ect.
As for now, we give each other a round about number of money to spend on b-day gifts, and a specific amount of play money monthly that we can hoarde in our accounts/or cash until we buy whatever.
The second might work better.

Drape yourself across his car and have a GF snap a few pics. Trust me, that works for car guys.
The racy pictures on his car would be fun, but there's no way I could sneak that one, as his car is wherever he is... hmmm, great idea though!
*made with love by ibis*
Also got him an emergency car set one time (jumper cables, flares...the whole deal) and he loved that too. Of course this was when he was still driving his old car and breaking down was a real possibility alot of the time. He was driving an '86 until last year (he loved that car...maybe more than me!).
I'll see what else he suggests...
FWIW though, it's a '98 Honda Accord, and he has plans of a new paint job, new rims, and some more performance stuff eventually.
I really like the pix idea, can you tell? :-D
Otherwise, I think the emergency supply kit is good, maybe something decorative like seat covers or a steering wheel cover, or the car vac. I'm not a car person but Ken gave me a car vac once and I loved being able to get all the little debris that comes in on my heels out from under my seat!
