OT - What was your best/favorite gift?

I learned that if you want the best answers, go right to the source. So guys, here I am! I need your help!  The holidays are approaching, as well as my husbands birthday, our 15th anniversary...  I need your help in some ideas for him. He refuses to give hints until about a week prior to the event, then will buy it himself. I've gotten some pretty great things over the years, most of which were not very expensive either, but I need your help. His interests include sports, politics, and work (he's a contractor). He is retired from the Navy, likes to read, not into fashion, not computer or gadget savy, but does like a good gadget!  If any of you fabulous men can give me some hints or ideas or share your favorite past gifts with me, I'd love ya even more than I already do!

The BEST gift my precious wife could give me is a morning romp in the sack!  She hates morning romps but it seems I'm always ready to go especially in the morning.  Just lock the damn door and give him a nice romp and he'll have a big smile on his face the rest of the day!  Preach.

Get him a CD of your favorite recording artist. It really works better if it is someone he's never heard of before. Then after he opens it and feigns appreciation and puts it aside, you can steal it and put it in your car and listen to it until your heart's content. That way, you get a new CD that you've been wanting anyway, without having to "buy" it. Or if that's a little to cynical for you, just buy him something that you think he might like based on a vague reccolection of what he listened to 20 years ago. For instance, if he used to listen to the Eagles back during the '70's and '80's, well then they have a new double album out now. It pretty much sucks, but hey, they used to be pretty good back when they put making music before propagandizing the hicks. So it would be like you actually kind of....yaknow.......tried to get him something he might like.

I'm not bitter. Or anything. Just in case you were wondering.

And that sex thing that Scott was talking about? He was kidding. Ixnay on the exsay. Guys hate to be burdened with the responsibilities of ***********s. Especially on an important day like a birthday or an anniversary. My suggestion is to just lay in bed (preferably in something heavy and flannel)  watching soaps and eating cheetos all day. Leave crumbs in the bed too. See if you can nag him into going to the store for you. For more cheetos. And maybe some popcorn.  And maybe punk his ass into loading the dishwasher. You could cut a deal to actually turn it on if he'd load it. He'd appreciate the gesture.

He already gets it whenever he wants (and sometimes when he thinks he doesn't)!  The cd thing is great! Maybe even a concert if nearby.

I thought you said y'all were married.

I am! Going on 15 years! It'll be 26 years for him, if you count his first marriage to old what's her name. We call her "Frigidaire".  My hubby always says his dream was to marry a nymphomaniac whose father owned a liquor store.  Well, I think he got close to his wishes, since my dad does make wine!

This is so halarious! As someone who never gets it, I'd say that's a good treat. I'd also love gift cards to home depot, best buy, newegg.com, amazon, just about any techie places. Boys love thier toys!

Geezuz, maybe I can get my pw (precious wife) to read this post.....damn.

Quiet, if you want to give your husband the best gift, just stop your nagging, and your *****ing for a day and give him the golden gift every husband wants....his wife to shut up for a day...lol.

If that's too much for you, a best buy or home depot gift certificate would be fine too...nothing says love better then things that beep or power tools (both kinds...lol).
