Christmas Gift for BF

duckymonkey

I'm at a loss of ideas for a christmas gift for BF.

I had a watch in my mind, but we got new watches on Black Friday, so there goes that idea... I already gave him cologne, a new baseball hat, and something Batman-related (he's a big kid!) for his birthday. I also did the Shutterfly photoalbum thing already....

I was thinking of getting him tickets to a Texas Rangers game, but they are more expensive than my budget (plus we would have to plan/pay for the trip to Arlington). 

Does anyone have any other ideas?? My budget is reduced to $100, considering his birthday AND black friday shopping took a toll on my finances.... I would appreciate any suggestions!

My FI would love Rangers tickets! That's his team and has been for years.

Hmm make him a gift basket of randoms, movies, gift cards, beers, foods, clothes...

What other things is he interested in?

Would he be interested in brewing his own beer? Andrew keeps talking about wanting one of those kits.

If he's a beer connoisseur like my BF try World Market. They have some neat ones in there and sometimes they even have a big variety box like "beers of the Mediterranean"

*Thank God for spell check because the first time i attempted typing this it was a trainwreck! I made beers bears. />_<  So burnt out from work, I needz a nap.

I'm at a loss of what to get BF also, with a budget of $100.  I'm leaning towards a new wallet because his is just about ready to fall apart and he's mentioned he needs a new one a few times.

I've done the assortment of small items he likes before too.  New movie, favourite chocolates, that kind of thing.

THe first year we were together I had no clue what to get.  He needed a new wallet, so like most of you with about $100 budget, I bought a nice but fairly inexpensive wallet at wal-mart, then filled it with a ton of $5 gift cards to various fast food places that he loves to eat at.  I had to put a lot of leg work into it because of going to all the different places, but he loved it.  Got a fully stocked wallet, and didn't have to spend money on buying himself lunch for like the next month.

If he's like most other guys and loves bacon, there are a lot of bacon-related gifts out there online. Granted these would be more of fun smaller gifts/stocking stuffers, but still it's an idea! I'm not really sure what to suggest, but this is what I'm doing for my BF: I'm knitting him a blanket, I got him one of those refridgerator magnet bottle openers "Clink n Drink", and he's really into iPhoneography so I got a camera lens. Guys are usually always into gadgets so accessories for any electronics he has would be a good idea too!

Thanks for the suggestions....  he doesn't drink and doesn't eat bacon, though.... I know... weird for a guy, right? lol

I'm thinking along the lines of the assorted-gift basket... I really wish I could afford those Rangers tickets but nahh, maybe later on.

I had also thought about something cute like this (someone had posted the link to the paintme site earlier):

He's a hugeee batman fan, so I was thinking of getting him a bobblehead doll of him as batman! Kinda cheesy, but I think he might like it... what do you guys think?

I want to get H new lenses for his Oakley sunglasses, but I have no idea which ones he wants or which ones even fit the glasses he has, so I'm trying to think of a way to 'give' them to him without actually buying any yet (I'd do a giftcard, but I think there's a different place other than 'Oakley' that sells the ones he's been looking at...)

But that's my idea, does he have a nice pair of sunglasses?  H loves his (hence the needing new lenses).

My BF is getting a nice new electric razor and grooming set.
