Birthday Present for the Husband

Souperfreak

Ok,

I need to get him something for his birthday next month. No more than 200 euro. I bought him a flying lesson for Christmas and he loved it but I can't get that again!

He runs his own computer business so if I buy him anything electronical he would be grateful but then say 'I could have got that chepaer hunny'.

Books & clothes are out.

So suggestions?

we have an xbox, a thing he purchased months ago with the full intention of making it a home entertainment system and hasn't bothered his bollox. BUt having said that he is very interestted in the old gaming systems as we have a atari jaguar, nintendo and a sega lynx maybe another one of those. Or a playstation 2

Souperfreak

how about poker chips and a poker table.....i got this for my hubbie for fathers day and he was thrilled! the guys all take it in turns to come over to each of their houses once a month and play. he now has his own set!

Souperfreak

These are all great suggestions....

Poker: Has never interested him. All the lads from school play and he hates it. He goes but just to drink.

The racing thing is more like it, he used to race karts here and is quite depressed that he doesn't anymore so I could get the intermediate or advnaced level of that. Or a rally school he would love as well. He is mad for those racing games for the PC.

he will be turning 25

hobbies: computers, racing, that is rpetty much travelling but I wont be able to get us a weekend away for 200 euro or less.

Seriously. I had flying lessons, and I was delighted. ...but I was really jellous of the guys in the choppers. If he's going for his PPL - I'm sure he'd still love the oppertunity to get behind the stick of a whirlly!

or spend 200 on getting yourself dolled up, and give him another kind of ride! My better half did that for me, best present ever!!!

My favourite suggestion so far.

If he likes old consoles go to Shop > FS Consoles and look for a Nintendo 64 or anything else he may not yet own. They sell for about €20. You can then go around looking for accessories and games for it and for €200 you should get a fairly decent set up. Ask friends and family if they have old consoles or games they don't use anymore.

You could try and be really cheesy and get sexy lingerie and vouchers that can be redeemed for special "services". Wouldn't cost too much and Ann Summers has a sale at the mo.
