Need ideas!

HH's birthday is coming up October 20th and I need ideas. My original plan was to get him a guitar, but we're tight on money at the moment and can't afford a good one. We're going to be buying him hunting camo here within the next week or so and he said that could be his present (that stuff can get expensive) but I still want to get him a surprise to open. Nothing big, he really needs clothes, but I buy him clothes every year. I'm thinking a hoodie (he doesn't have any and its getting cold here) and a hunting knife? He doesn't play video games or anything, he doesn't drink and he doesn't smoke. Any ideas???

Re: Need ideas!

  • I suck at birthday presents.  I'm trying to convince Adam that we need to go to FrightFest at Six Flags for his birthday, but that's almost more for me than it is for him!!!!  haha Smile

  • I suck at gifts too, mainly because dave's only hobby is hockey and he gets all the top of the line gear for free through his sponsorships. He even gets all his clothes for free! So that makes it tough. I bought him a flip video camera this year though, and he loved it!

  • Ooohhh... I like the camera idea.  Adam's birthday is the 17th so maybe I could get him one of those. 

    Katy, what about an Ipod or something (if he doesn't have one already)

  • Ooooh, I love getting Matt presents! But he's so easygoing that I could probably wrap up a rock and give it to him and he'd be excited and treasure it forever.

    Does your HH already have a Leatherman? I gave Matt one of those for Christmas a couple of years ago. If you go the knife/Leatherman route, a cute thing that you can do is to incorporate the old superstition about giving sharp objects. They used to say that you couldn't actually give a knife or scissors or the like because it would be sure to cut the love/friendship. So what you'd do was give the recipient a penny and then tell them that they had the option to use it to buy the fabulous wrapped surprise. Matt got a big kick out of that.

  • I like the camera idea too. HH's birthday was just a couple weeks ago and I bought him a BeerTender. Its perfect for him since I dont drink beer and the beer lasts for about a month in the machine.

    That would be a good idea for Adam, too, except that the beer would last like two days in our house!!!

  • No he doesn't have an ipod, but he has no interest in them, he just listens to the radio when he's driving. I don't think he has a Leatherman, but I know my dad gave him some kind of multitool a while back. He is the hardest person to buy for!

  • He's been wanting a digital deep fryer for a while, is that a bad birthday gift? I'd love to get a kitchen gadget for my birthday.

  • Adam would be psyched to get a deep fryer.  Actually, my mom bought him one for Christmas a couple of years ago.  If your HH wants one, I say go for it.

  • I found the perfect deep fryer on walmart.com and my local store supposedly has it. I'm going shopping for him on Saturday while he's hunting so hopefully I can find this specific one. I think a deep fryer and a hoodie or nice sweater would be perfect.
