    Does he like spa treatments?? If so get him the guy spa package, or do couples spa day!!!! Joey does manual labor for a living, so at least twice a year I like to treat him to a guy's pkg at the spa!!

    I've done a watch (which he lost!) and cologne, a Dolphin's jersey. He just surprised me with a new camera (our last one broke in March) and said we would need it for all the stuff coming up (wedding, HM, etc.). I thought that was so sweet...maybe you could do the same if you don't have one or need a new one. For every holiday Ben makes me a home made card out of construction paper. He gets really, really, REALLY  into it and cuts out people and words. It's adorable. Sometimes the best gifts don't cost anything!

    FIs birthday was in september and i got him a DVD trilogy that he's wanted, a book that he wanted, and (secretly) planned dinner with a couple of his friends at PF Changs. it was low key and nice and he really appreciated me making plans with his friends.

    actually in the cheesecake factory menu they have an advertisement for a custom made monopoly game... its called loveoply http://www.lovopoly.com/  i thought that would be so cute to have as a newly wed. or- If he is into excersizing like my FI, I gave him a pair of new running shoes and a fancy heart rate monitor watch and he loved it.
