I wish "journey to Venice" would be "something not purchasable with money, or at least not only with money"...LOL....but thanks for your advice...

spicemom!! Thanks for your PM.. BUT..while I was only thinking about it.. it's too late...guess what! yesterday he got this absolutely new mobile which came out on the market on JANUARY 15 2008! This HTC TyTN II …It's like a laptop! LOL... and it DOES have a GPS built-in! He even happily informed me that since now on he can locate ME at any point of the world by just calling my mobile...lol...I am not sure that I share his excitement about it though…lol…

...it's too hard to keep up with him, specially when it comes to technology..lol.. well... i guess i will by these funky seats for his car or so.. at least it makes my job easier..lol...

No no no Qatarisun,

You must think about something not purchasable with money, or at least not only with money.

A journey to Venice or any other romantic place with you could be a nice idea, if you have enough time and money. With all the kindness you may imagine, of course ;)

Would be an apron. But try to get a nice one for him. He will need it frequently.

Regarding the GPS, some nokia models have it built-in. Namely the N95 and the 6110

Alexa.. I liked your idea very much.. but it's very dangerous in his case... he drives his Pathfinder like if it's Harley...lol...so with Harley he will be flying like a rocket…

I think i will check two-three things and choose between them: GPS, some cool car seats set and some very nice pen with engraving...

thanks guys for sorting it out...

QS, if he wears spectacles, give him a gadget which makes specs sparkling clean. You get it in pharmacy.

Or if you want to go cheap give him a manual, any manual for that reason, but make sure it has all the technical jargon. For some reason men find them very interesting, just like we girls find fashion magazines.

I'll bet you he could buy any gadget he wants.

If you to decided to take the initiative in cooking something real nice for him, there is no shame in using a cook book or getting help. Its you and your intention that counts the most. Unless you are a restaurant fanatic or fast food junky.

You are all wrapped up with materials things and gadgets. I might be talking nonsense to you. Let it be your choice and Good luck.

I like all these "engraved" things and ordering on-line... what is the web site address?

and where would you go for the Mont Blanc pen? and...do they do engraving right there?

..mia.. thanks..but.. yes, "we" DO like gadget stuff.. but "we" have a problem with concentrating on reading..lol..."we" prefer to make a complete round trip across Doha to SEE and to TOUCH new stuff rather than read about it...

how about mont-blanc pen with his name engraved on it or dom-perignon expensive champagne that you can order online with his name and anything you want to say on the bottle label. just tell us your budget and its easy for us to give you an idea base on it.

two hugging teddy bears inside a cage together ...

He might be missing the romantic moments .. the gift shudn't be very expensive to be valuable .. it can be a very simple thing but very valuable .. and expressive in the same time ..

I know this might sounds weired, kiddy or even u gonna say teenager minded .. but believe me .. inside each man there is a child .. at least it will make him smile or even laugh and he will know how happy u r in the cage of marriage ... (in case u r) .. lol ..

however, if u r still thinking about expensive stuff .. there is a lot u can buy for him ..

1- Lighter gold or silver - incase he is a smoker

2- a valuble pen - incase he writes a lot (i doubt than there is someone still using pens)

3- something fancy for his car - if he is crazy about car accessories and that stuff ...

u can buy a lot of things ...

Money can buy food but not appetite.

Well well....

thats a good idea to have WTSE.....

but it will make him more bz.....wat u say?????

By qatarisun• 3 Feb 2008 09:08
qatarisun

but the problem is that it's easier to list what he DOESN'T like (and what he doesn't have!)...

but may be the top of things for THIS period of time (coz the priorities are changing at the speed of light):

-Everything hottest/coolest/freshest/newest in technology (no clue what else he is missing from this field)

-His new PathFinder (to post my pic at his car?

-Cooking (may be Recipe Book? ..ha-ha, but …he can WRITE this kind of books, doesn’t have to read them..lol)

-Socializing (wow! I got it! World Teleconference System Equipment!)

list down all things he likes...and maybe from there we could decide/suggest what to give him...

coz there are general things like perfumes, wallets, belts, cufflings, trips...:)
