My husband's birthday is coming up - I have such a tough time figuring out what to get for him. He still has not used the gold clubs I got him for CHristmas 2005 (right before my mom got sick) I was thinking maybe a gift card from the local driving range might get him out a little. It's just down the street. He works so hard. He is definately not the type of guy that sits in the recliner being a bum. I do want him to chll out some. We also have a lady that does chair massages at my work and I was thinking about a gift certificate

Any other ideas??
 
A dozen golf balls and a tee time at a local course - along with the admonishment to USE THEM.:D
 
Does your husband like to grill??? If so buy him the grill set for his B-Day if he doesn't already have that.
 
A gift certificate for an hour massage - always a hit!!!!!
 
If you don't already, offer to go to the driving range or even to the course with him, that way you can make sure that he goes and be able to spend some time to boot.
 
My DH is a golf pro, so he gets kind of sick of golf gifts all the time but he loves golf shirts and other "golf" stuff that he can wear whether he is golfing or not... or what about a season pass/punchcard to his favorite course?
 
If we likes to golf I agree with the golf balls and maybe a gift certificate for a round of golf. My DH got one of these for X-mas and he is just really getting excited to use it this summer. I think men in general are hard people to buy for. Let us know what you decide.
 
work, work, workFor those who work, work, work, like my hubby! I suggest a romantic evening ALONE, out for dinner or in for dinner and some quiet time together.
As for a gift I suggest you get a friend of his to come over, pick him up and take him to the golf course. A couple of rounds from his beautiful bride!
He might never get out unless you take drastic measures!!! LOL

Debbie :D
 
I was going to say a massage!! I work at a spa and men are the number 1 customers!

Keep in mind, he's never used the clubs she bought him for Christmas. I'm trying to "trick" him into using them.
