    Okay there have been alot of threads on what to get women for valentines day which is pretty obvious seen as though it is commercialised towards what to buy women.

    We are going out for a meal and I know he will be getting me chocolates, flowers, teddy ect. But what do I give back to him? What do guys want in return? (yes i know what later on, i have that bit taken care of)

    Suggestions please! It's really cracking me up.

    Aftershave?
    A game for his ps2/xbox/PC?
    Cd's?
    Mp3 player?

    easy.

    He has loadz of aftershave, loadz of cds he doesn't play computer games! Sorry they are good suggestions i'm not shooting them down.

    He is into golf and his car but i havn't a clue what i could get him for those, ne ideas? I have no clue about golf or what i could get him for the car.

    I was thinking maybe underwear, clothes, a teddy? Is that a bit uninteresting though i dunno if he would be happy with that

    What about paying for a round of golf at a nice club? And then meet him in a nice outfit and buy him a couple at the 19th hole?;)

    Best gift a man could receive ;)

    Buy him a round at the Druids Glen/ Heath golf club, the finest in Ireland, bar a few. He'd enjoy that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    One of those mad racing day outs! You know where he gets to drive a rally car around a few laps, presuming he can drive and its a manual! Or else one of those flying lessons! They used to be in the Argos catalogue one time but not no more as far as I know!

    As for Golf, How borrrrrinnngggg :rolleyes: Yeah I'm sure he'd love rubbing shoulders with 50+ men listening to dribble about house prices and the stock market. Golf is quite similar to a can of prunes. If I got that from a girlfriend it would be a date with a garbage can for her as she'd be dumped!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 676 ✭✭✭Nickibaby*


    Yeah i know I dont know how he plays golf at all! I always thought it was just for old men too.

    Good idea about the day out stuff, i'll look into that.

    Also is there anywhere is dublin for buying personalised tshirts or underwear that i could get his name printed on? Just a keepsake for him also cause i dont want to buy him a teddy (bear) it's a bit 'girly'

    Steak dinner blow job...shut your yackity cakehole on saturdays and let him watch the match. simple.

    You, wrapped up in a bow. He doesn't take Valentine's day all that seriously, and sex is a good present for any occasion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Anal?

    I bet he'd love that.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,260 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    I'd be happy with porn and beer!

    What interests does he have? Get him something related to that. Personally if I got a round of gold I wouldnt be impressed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    Anal?

    I bet he'd love that.

    That's classic.

    I'd say he'll be happy with some entertainment at the end of the night, Valentine's day is for the ladies anyway, we just go along for the ride :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    a pair of balls.

    If you live in dublin, this place does t-shirts and clothes printing. It's in St. Stephen's Green SC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 376 ✭✭Ozzy


    A rubber/leather gimp mask with a zipper mouth?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    Actually get him an "Orange County Choppers" t-shirt from HMV/Virgin.

    I got one last week for my birthday and was well chuffed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    All jokes aside though, whatever you get him, do not buy him some gay teddy bear or anything along those lines.

    Guys appreaciate practical things that can be used, like aftershave or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,531 ✭✭✭jonny68


    A match ticket to see his fav Football team,he'll love you for it ;)

    Get him all Ricky Gervais DVD's:
    The Office Season 1 & 2
    Extras Season 1
    Politics
    Animals


    * OK, this is really just a list of stuff I want. :rolleyes:

    Seriously though, get him something practical like a few of the others have suggested...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,608 ✭✭✭Ginger83


    A day out in a tank, any guy would love that, the feeling he is in power (for one day of the year):D

    if he likes golf why not get him a ticket to one of the golf championships coming up in the summer?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭kellxor.1337


    Tank idea is brilliant, check out www.topgifts.ie, I got a quad session from there recently and i cant wait till march when i can go to it, as for the afters i'm glad your takin the slaggin by the lads well, Most girls start flippin out when you mention ANAL.

    topgifts are doin this mudbiking thing startin in april, I'm sure he'd love that, It's like a go kart with a roll cage, I did it when i was in the states 2 years ago and it was crazy

    I saw a local barber shop advertising that it was selling vouchers for a 'hot towel shave & mini facial' for valentines day. I'm thinking that this might be a nice treat, but just wondering what the guys would think if they got it as a valentines pressie? I know my brother & his best man etc had it the morning of his wedding and they actually enjoyed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭kellxor.1337


    Ya there pretty cool, I got one the morning of my girlfriends debs, As long as it's not in Knights barber shop in dundrum, I got it done in there before and the chick cut my face up, I had like 10+ Shaving cuts all over my face,

    and she expected a Tip, Would you believe :)

    I'd be happy if my other half bought me 500 rounds of ammunition and we went on a date to the range. Then again, I'm a bit weird that way.

    NTM
