Christmas gift ideas...

[SFlonghorngirl]

Guys, having a hard time finding a present for the BF that isn't clothes or a file cabinet. Any suggestions?

Give him food. All men like food. Find out what his favorite is and get him the best you can find.

I buy a lot of hams, briskets and ribs for family members.

Or, buy him a new iPhone 5 if he doesn't already have one.

Or, buy him an ugly tie so he can feel a part of Christmas tradition.

What's up with waiting until the 22nd to ask this question? You're cutting it close! ha ha

...maybe you should present to us a bit more insight regarding the BF, so that we may help you more...

Does he have any hobbies? It's kinda hard thinking of suggestions without knowing him. I asked my wife for an iPad Air to replace my iPad 2. And I asked for a .45 cal 1911 pistol. Lets hope Santa is good to me this year.

Good thinking!

Sports nut, vegetarian (started after college for ethical reasons), into collecting sports cards, likes reading, thoughtful guy but time management nonexistent and unorganized. I purchased him a file cabinet already as a Christmas gift but for selfish reasons. Another gift to make up for my selfish purchase would be ideal.

Last year, I got him an UCLA authentic helmet and he thought that was the best gift ever.

I considered a Stanford (he attended grad school there) helmet this year but seems redundant.

Thanks guys for the help! I hate shopping!

Ok, it might help her if we listed things we would like for Christmas this year. I didn't ask for these, but they are things I'd like . . . in no special order

1. A new handgun, preferably a .44

2. The last gun I wanted in my collection, a Marlin 30-30 lever action rifle.

3. New boots

4. New fixed blade knife with leather holster. Made the mistake of loaning mine a couple weeks back. It never came back. I weep, it was totally hand-made.

If you lived in the Bay Area, he would love your store! He's very green and earth friendly.

...two items shall suffice...

1. since he likes to read a lot - head to barnes & noble, acquire a gift card so that he may choose his own books

2. how about an oversized authentic jersey to accommodate that cool helmet - he could always wear it to his favorite sports bar etc...

...need more help, don't hesitate to ask...

He doesn't smoke or drink.

Does he have a Kindle Fire HD? My wife reads a lot and she loves it. There are quite a few ebooks on the kindle store that are free or really cheap...in the 1 to 2 dollar range. She has read books on there that she wouldn't have given a chance in the store.

My man is so old school! He doesn't even have internet at his place nor cable tv! He's only 40! I'm 31. He has a flip phone too!

I'm confused. How can one be a "sports nut," w/o cable or WiFi?

Ok, that's out of the way.

Here's a link from a quick Craigslist search on Sports Cards in San Fran; For sale large collection of playing and sports cards

There are many entries under sports cards. Maybe you get him a collection from someone who's selling.

Old school, unorganized, this man needs a Trapper Keeper.

Maybe you get him a book about cooking vegetarian meals/dishes. Amazon and Barnes & Noble have several titles available.

He's also cheap!!! We usually watch games at a bar or my place.
