I need gift help!

DH's birthday is in two days, and I'm completely at a loss for a gift.  He doesn't really like frivolous things and he tends to just buy whatever he wants.

Here's some background: not a ton of hobbies, but is getting back into golfing (we're already taking lessons), likes photography (but not too interested in lessons or editing packages), not big into fashion/clothes, we like to travel and eat out, he likes wine, he spends a lot of time on his computer budgeting and stuff, he works in a bank. 

I'm getting desperate, so would love any inspiration or thoughts you have!  I'm thinking maybe theatre tickets, but that seems a bit like a cop out since we tend to do that anyways.  I wanted to get him an iPad, but he's said he wants to wait for the new one to come out.

Re: I need gift help!

  • I recently took an Italian cooking lesson with a lovely woman who splits her time between the UK and Italy. The food was amazing! I did it as part of a corporate group event, but she mentioned that she does private lessons for couples or small dinner parties. Maybe you can schedule a cooking lesson for you both.

    And here's the website: http://www.enricarocca.com/

  • I find getting gifts for H the most difficult.

    No real ideas, but for H's birthday last June I got him an introductory flying lesson. It was something he always wanted to try. Is there anything he's always wanted to try/do?

  • Get Saucy Party!!!

  • Since he likes wine and travel how about a wine journal to put labels and write notes about when/where that wine was had, label removers, and wine travel bags. DH bought me these bubble wrapped wine shaped bags that seal completely so if the bottle happens to break in your suitcase your things don't get ruined.

  • A monthly wine club?
    I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.
  • Thanks all, I knew I could count on you!  I did something wine related a few years ago, so was looking to avoid that again, but those wine travel bags sound cool - I'll probably look into that for Christmas.

    He's mentioned something about a cooking class before, so that's something to look into more.  He's also mentioned learning to play the guitar, but I don't think that really fits into our schedule at the moment ... something to think about another time though!
