Help! Advice wanted - what to buy a man who has everything?

mdf · 25-07-2002 4:51pm #1

It's my significant other's 30th birthday next week. I'm rapidly running out of present ideas - he has everything he needs - clothes, golf clubs, house stuff, tv/video, camcorder, four watches, laptop, PC, digital camera (believe me, he sounds like a better catch than he is!). We've got holidays planned so romantic mini break out of question. Only thing I can think of is a Playstation 2 - and I always said I'd never buy a grown man one of those

So c'mon all out there - any thoughts on a thoughtful lasting gift that will please an incredibly picky guy - and ensure that I get something equally well thoughht out for my 30th!!!

Power tools.

Sony NetMiniDisc (net MD)

Parachute jump. (about E230 for one - first jump is normally a tandem affair)

Tank/ralley driving course

Buy him a parachute jump. They're cool and can sometimes change your outlook on life afterwards.

A 30 year old man who wants a playstation? C'mon!

nah get him an X-Box instead, what's wrong with grown men playing games? We get old so suddenly we have to become boring and uninteresting?

and should have "better things to do" yeah right, no different from spending all sunday watching football/whatever on the box

Marry him, or buy him a wife on eBay.

has he got a DVD-player?

Tellox · 25-07-2002 11:31pm

skydiving would be great, but a bit too dangerous for some peoples liking..

Makaveli · 26-07-2002 12:51am

5 Series BMW?

More realisticly, a dvd player and some dvds.

Porn.

Dr. Loon · 26-07-2002 7:19am

Get him something that he'll hate but you'll love, so when he discards it, it's yours!! He'd probably do the same.

Or else an oversized vibrator.... well that might be the same as above!

Or a tiger.

A bengal tiger. I've always wanted one of those.

JustHalf · 26-07-2002 8:46am

Seriously, Mondelo.

Dr. Loon · 26-07-2002 8:59am

A miniature beer fridge. Full of beer. THAT'S a gift!!

Good to see your not afraid to share your shìt fetish thebhoy. The significant other might not like it as much though...

Flying Lessons...

Small 2 seater Cesena: €60 - 80 per half hour
Helicopter: €250 per hour (methinks!!!)

Dustaz · 26-07-2002 4:06pm

Speaking as someone in your target demographic, i dont think hed be too disapointed with a blow job

CodeMonkey · 26-07-2002 4:14pm

A bottle of viagra and a copy of the Kuma Sultra?

Optional: bring a good looking female friend

Better make that a double dose of penicillan

sceptre · 26-07-2002 7:52pm

Hmm, a threesome might be a welcome present. Probably with a female friend but you could ask, just to be sure.

Or an AdultCheck sub - then you'd have a lot of time to yourself (you can use the PS2 you'll be getting him as well)

Hookers.
