OK, so tomorrow is our 5yr anniversary :thumbup:, and I have no idea what to buy for my hubby:shy:, everytime I ask him he so sweet and says that he already got what he want it the most (me :eyes:), and doesn't want anything else.
But I want to buy him something and I'm totally blank, can't think about what to get him!!
I have very limited time to go and buy something, and if I just go to the store with no idead about what to buy, it would be a waste of time.
Any suggestions??? :please:
Just something general for a guy.

A HUGE remote control...hahaha..j/k.

Actually any electronic toy he will love. Guys go for all that stuff.

What does he like? What are his hobbies? What makes him act silly like a kid? Does he play sports? Take him to a game.

For example, my hubbies B-day is coming up in August. He is a drummer, so I have been saving up to buy him a new set of cymbals he's been eyeing at the music store.

thanks guys, I been thinking and couldn't come up with anything, he loves our fish (we have a big pond), and as far as electronics he wants a blueray player and a PS3, both so expensive, (can't afford that :lol:)

I ditto the Home Depot idea...it would be a big treat for my husband to have guilt free money and time to spend in Lowe's or Home Depot...so a gift card and a little homemade certificate for a day at the DIY store would be a big treat for him.

yeah wood, he was so cute, when I got off work yesterday he surprise me with my present, first right at midnight, he hug me and said happy anniversay, then he gave me this little piece of wood from his scrap on the shed, it had a big 5 on it and it said happy anniversary.:lol: it was so funny, but he also had made a card for me and had gotten me something.
It was so romantic and nice that he did all that. I was so not even expecting it, and after such a hard day that I had had, I just hug him and started crying.(happy tears)
