Gifts for Guys

The good:

Tickets to see your favorite sports team: She pays attention to your needs.

A gift that encourages your favorite hobby: She wants you to enjoy yourself and may even participate.

Race-car driving lessons: She wants to spice up your life.

A book off the bestseller list: She thinks you're an intellect.

Silver cufflinks: A classy item that she knows you'd never buy on your own.

Sweater: Symbol of style and warmth; she cares about your appearance.

The bad:

Opera/Ballet tickets: It's a present for herself (great idea for her gift next year!)

A picture frame featuring her face: "I love myself."

Ties: Very cliché.

Electric razor: Boring and impersonal.

Tools: She has a fix-it project for you.

Pairs of white socks: She has no fashion sense and you are the last person on her shopping list.

Some good ideas there. Another idea that goes along with the race car lessons is a sky diving jump. The guy will probably wait until spring to use it but the gift cert is usually good for a year.

I take exception to some of the "bad". Many guys totally love getting new tools. Just do a little research to find out what he needs/wants. Ballet tickets? Again, consider what he likes. Tickets to a concert or favorite performer is a good idea. I'd love to get hubby tickets to a Bronco game, but Denver is 800 miles away. Check out the schedule for road games closer to you if you don't live near the city of your favorite team. Picture of myself. I had professional black & white glamour photos made 15 years ago. Besides the large one and two smaller ones hanging on our bedroom wall, Jim still carries a wallet size picture. People always say Wow, who's that? It's what I used to look like but never quite that beautiful, so I can still be his fantasy.

Nice list! However, I love tools, and have actually asked for a new electric razor this year!
