Is anyone in your life getting ready to celebrate a birthday that ends in a round number? Those are usually significant, but what do you get them to commemorate it?
One idea for a special man in your life (BF, hubby, dad, whatever) is to give him two coins--one from the year he was born and one from the current year. It can be as expensive or inexpensive as you want (or need) it to be. It could be pennies or it could be silver dollars in special presentation cases. Either way, I think it's something he'll keep and cherish. It's probably a better gift for someone 30+.
As for a special woman, you could get her an iron, a vaccum, almost anything for that extra special birthday. She'll just be thankful you remembered.
Hey, what's that strange sound behind me? I better go check it o {crash}
Edit: Okay, I'm back (and conscious again). Keep track of the important dates of all the special people in your lives. Write them down. Don't let them slip past unnoticed. And whatever you do, don't give a woman household appliances (or anything related to cleaning or laundry) for a special birthday!!!!
Edit II: I'm serious about the coin idea, but the iron and vacuum and the idea of getting a woman just anything was 100% a joke. I'm not crazy enough to actually do something like that. ;P
Jewelry and bags are better gifts haha!
ReplyDeleteYeah... applicance presents, while practical, suck unless she is specifically asking for a certain model. Romantic is best!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Blair on the bag part :)
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't like to get a nice bag? A bottle of perfume is also a good idea. BTW, I like the coin idea.
You are so, so very right about the household apliances!
ReplyDeletehahaha! rick, women appreciate romantic stuff more, i agree with blair on this one!
ReplyDeleteps. what was that sound? did wifey chase u with an iron? LOL :P
that's a good suggestion..:)
ReplyDeletebut i'd rather receive a gift certificate:)haha
My guy friend need a new printer for his computer. And so he gave his wife a printer for her birthday.
ReplyDeleteObviously, the wife had no need for the printer. Oh well.
i dont usually know what i want for my birthday, but definitely not household appliances unless something like 52" bravia hdtv.
ReplyDeletethat, i dont mind :D
I'm really really bad with presents. I prefer taking people out for dinner or a buffet coz it's just more fun that way!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I want household appliances for my birthday, lol! But you can never go wrong with bags as Blair said, a girl will never have too much bags :D
ReplyDeleteI am always struggling with what I should get people for their birthday as presents, luckily all of my friends and me share the same taste, so I did never anywrong wrong, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI'd had problems buying something for a boy, though XD The only boy in my life is my brother, and he always wants some kind of electronic high tech stuff, hehehe!
Gosh, it's always so hard to choose a gift for men...and there's two birthdays fast approaching...however, for one of them I'm not sure what to get...but I do call...and I think that makes their day! 8)

It's tough to think of what to get people for their birthdays! I give people a goodie bag with different things inside, so there's bound to be something the person would like :P
ReplyDeletehaha i was about to say! vacuum and iron?! do we need more than one of those?lol and that coin idea is pretty cute.
ReplyDeleteand yes in general guys are really bad with naming colors, once i heard a guy said to another guy "it's red" while staring at something was clearly fuchsia...i mean..really? cmon. lol
xx
it would prefer for that man a gift that would let him think of you everytime.. UNDIES would be great for it..
ReplyDeleteIf I may just add, never give a woman flowers on her birthday. What is she gonna do with that? Replant them?
ReplyDeleteYou can also put the coins in a frame so the person you give them to doesn't spend 'em.
Thanks for the ideas Rick. I love the coins idea, it is very unique and very hard to find especially if the person is like super old, then the coin from their year would most probably be an antique already. =)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Rick, I have a linky love for you over at my latest blog post. =)
I know my family's birthdays but still forget... :/
ReplyDeleteAnd yes...I was hoping you were kidding about the household appliances!!!
clothed much, a modest fashion blog
The coin sounds like a neat idea, I wonder where I can get those :)
ReplyDeleteBut getting household appliances for my birthday? Uh, thanks? LOL :D
Hahaha!!! Got what you mean, Rick. That was a real quick persuasion huh?
