標題: Guy's present [打印本頁]

作者: 匿名 時間: 2008-3-13 10:58 標題: Guy's present

Anybody has any good ideas for buying your man a present? I need some ideas because over the past years for various different occasions, i have bought the following already:

- clothes
- pants
- cell phone (SH903)
- wallet
- card holder
- money clip
- video games
- DIY crafts
- phone strap

I am utterly out of ideas.

I am considering buying a belt. Any suggestions as to where i should go look if I go ahead with this idea? Price is not a matter. I've been to Holts, Gucci, LV, Harry Rosen, Hugo Boss. I am eyeing two belts in LV. But is having a rough time deciding.

Hints? Tips? Ideas?

HELP!

Gundam models or some refined version of some old jap robot models (if your man is below 35)

yeah im running outta ideas tooooo.

for your case, what about the followings: watches, car stuff, computer stuff, sunglasses/glasses, camera, ties, cufflins, ps3/wii/xbox/nds, ipods, wine, necklace/bracelet/ring, or toys that he likes?

oh yeah, and what about pens? got my bf a mont blanc one for vday. it wasn't bad.

作者: raima 時間: 2008-3-13 12:31

pen is a great idea. but then, he'll either really love it, or just leave it sit at home.

- he's not into Gundam. Other old Japanese anime character toys I have no idea because I'm not in his generation, and even if I know, you can't get those here unless going back to HK or Japan.

sko
- He doesn't wear watch
- He not into cars. His car is unmodified, with no decorations/air fresheners at all.
- His computer is fine and he's not into computers
- He has new glasses
- He doesn't wear ties
- Therefore he does not need cuff links
- He's allergic to alcohol, so no wine
- We have a Wii already, so no need PS3, besides, he's not too into that either
- He has necklace, bracelets & rings that we bought from before, but doesn't wear any. Everything is just sitting inside a box
- He got a Mont Blanc pen from client company during Christmas already, and that's still sitting inside its box.
- He's not into photography. We have a camera for the both of us already
- I got him DVD's before, but recently, there's no movie DVDs that he want
- He's not into music, so iPods etc will be useless too. Actually, I have a shuffler myself, it's sitting there & he doesn't use it. To be precise, he doesn't listen to music

Thanks for the ideas so far. I'm sorry I listed the ideas out & turned them all down.... but please do continue to squeeze out more brain juice! I swear my brain will blow up soon. SO DIFFICULT!!!!!

I never run out of ideas for my wife..

Other LYKs' suggestions are not bad. The only advice I would give is to pay attention to his likings when you two do things together and that's what I always get my idea of gifts for my wife.

Just for example, for my wife's birthday gifts, the idea came to me one night when we surfing the net together. She was looking at new arrival for L.V. and she just said "This new key holder looks nice." I was like "it was okay." This gave me the idea what to buy her as the birthday gift.

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-13 12:52

Okay here are some ideas for you.

1. Cologne.
2. GPS.
3. Home made candle light dinner
4. Romatic vacation for 2 to some skii carttage for one night

- Other LYK suggestions are great... if only my man has more normal "guy interests". *sigh*
- He's not into brand names either. The only thing that I could think of is maybe a belt. Gucci doesn't have any style that i know he will like. Same with Harry Rosen or Boss, and the men's department in Holt Renfrew. The only two decent belts that i saw was in LV. One is $370, the other is $420.

$370 one is traditional buckle (where you poke through holes) with Epi Leather

$420 one the the buckle is silver square with "LV" in the middle, very subtle. Can't really see it (which is good, because he doesn't like to wear logos unlike some people). But the leather is just plain black leather... so I worry that if it gets scratched, then it's going to be very obvious and won't look good anymore. This one, the buckle is the type where you just kind of clip the leather, so there's no holes.

he is not into x,y,z, ...

so what is he into? what does he do in his spare time? what does he value?

作者: akshea 時間: 2008-3-13 13:09

Buy him a EEE PC .. or get him a nice video card for computer gaming...

作者: 匿名 時間: 2008-3-13 13:13

myversa,
- He doesn't wear cologne
- He has no use for GPS because there's always me in the car, or google maps online
- He's not into sports. Doesn't swim, no ski/boarding, nothing at all. Works out in the gym once in a blue moon.
- I will pay for our 2nd anniversary trip later this year in fall
- I cook him dinner every night. From chinese dishes/soups, to Western pasta, steak, lamb, ribs, soup, desserts... I can do all that.

daimo
- Spare time, he will watch DVD, read Chinese novels, read comics, read comics online, play online game
This is all he does during spare time on week nights, weekend.
- Our hobbies over the weekend includes spending time with both sides of the family. Going out to movies (I have enough movie tickets on hand already), going out to eat dinner/dessert.
- He has enough books that takes up 1/4 of our den
- His online game is already paid for, and there's no new extensions released recently to add on
- I bought him enough skin care products to use already

That's what makes is so difficult for me. *SIGH*

What is EEE PC???
I could consider video card for computer gaming...but his computer is more than adequate for what he is playing.

It all depends on his personality I guess. I am not into brand name like LV or Gucci so I would not want my wife to buy me anything from there. Maybe he will like it. However if my wife did buy the belt for me like you did for your bf/hubby, I would be happy.

for eeepc there'll be a new version (8.9") out soon... in a month or two.

- I thought of the belt idea because he needs a belt on the rare occasion that he dresses up in dress pants. So cheap belts don't look good, nor does casual belts will not do. That's why I went to look for more pricy belts that look smart and dressy.

I personally like that EEE pc. But we both will have no use for a laptop of any sort. *sigh*

I think if he loves u...doesn't have to be expensive or very special gift... the "sum yee" counts... even a box of chocolate would be nice. chocolate is very 'sweet'

作者: Hyde 時間: 2008-3-13 13:59

omg... u got a boring bf

I know it's the thought that counts. It's not about buying something expensive; I don't mind spending the money because it's about the quality most of the time.
Unfortunately, we have at least 2 big boxes of unnopened chocolates at home, along with other snacks, candies...

作者: Hyde 時間: 2008-3-13 14:06

oh i forgot to put in the suggestion

just buy a box of condom

作者: beaver 時間: 2008-3-13 14:09

Umh..

books
toys
shaver
tooth brush
shoes ??
wristlet
tools

作者: 匿名 時間: 2008-3-13 14:20

Hyde
- Sorry to say, we don't use condoms LMAO

beaver
- As I said before, he has too many books. No new books to buy, can't buy in Vancouver. And his friends in Asia has some bought for him already, just waiting for somebody to carry them over.
- I bought him a nice electrical shaver around 2 years ago
- Toys.. what sort of toys do you mean?
- Toothbrush... we used to use electrical toothbrush, but switched back to old school manual toothbrush
- Shoes. Although he has more than enough, good idea. But he has some in the closet that he doesn't even wear, and they're fairly new too

- Wristlet, he doesn't wear accessories much. It's all sitting inside a box eventually.
- Tools : but isn't that more for general house hold?

As for the belts, these are the two that I will consider, if i go ahead with the belt idea:

- I did consider knitting something even for Christmas. But wool makes him itchy, and he does not like wearing scarfs that much.

- We bought enough gadgets and "clothes" from the Taboo Sex Show in January

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-13 15:18

Wow, you really have thought of everything and have everything already.... just go for the belt then.

*sigh*
After I buy the belt, then maybe I should start thinking about Christmas early. haha.

Yes, I bought a lot of things for him, take good care of his needs and hobbies already. That's why it makes it so hard.

As a guy, which one do you think is better belt for a guy's taste? Any comments on the picture I posted? Or should I continue to look around?

akshea,
I always help him do facials, masks, aroma baths at home already

BiscottiGelato,
Actually, i got the first LV one already. But I'm going to go to Hermes tomorrow and check out the colors. The problem is, he doesn't like putting logos on himself. That's why I'm kind of debating, although i did think of getting Hermes in the first place.

*sigh*
好難揀，好麻煩
