Random Gift Ideas for H

[madDawg228]

My MIL is asking me for B-day gift ideas for my H. I usually tell her to buy Husky stuff, but I want to suggest something else this year.

Right now I'm thinking of a Northface jacket that I saw on sale, or an electric/rechargeable toothbrush. Any rechargeable toothbrush suggests would be welcome.

And any other random guy gifts are welcome! My H is what I consider a typical boy; he likes sports, beer, video games, golf, and cooking.

We love our sonicare. I got a deal through Amazon for 2 of them last year. It is awesome.

typical boys like cooking?

ditto on the sonicare!

i've always heard of the "beer of the month club" and wanted to do that, but h isn't big on beer.....

EIP's and karebear's H's like cooking too, so I like to think it's typical

Are you in Seattle proper? A few Christmas' ago I got DH a beer of the month club from a local nano brewery. It was like $130 for 12 months and each month he got a different growler of beer (each month they had two to choose from). It's a very small operation though and you have to pick it up, but their beers were really good!

Or does he like to grill? You could get him a grilling cookbook.
A flask with his initials?
A new golf shirt or jacket?

We live in North Seattle, and he would like to grill, but it's hard since we live in an apartment

He has a few things, but he's so messy, they don't really get to be properly displayed and are just clutter.

I'm stealing this for my H. Thanks!

And another vote for Sonicares. They're really awesome.

If your H likes to cook, what about a le creuset? or if he grills, this is cool

Does your H work out or like fitness things? My H loves is New Balance Minimus shoes for day to day (I like mine too for CF). He wears Vibriams for running.

My H isn't into fitness at all, I got him to go to the gym with me once and he was on the elliptical for like 5 min and gave up. His job is pretty physical, so I understand a lil'.

Thank you for all the ideas ladies!!!
