So peeps...I struggle every year to buy hubby his Birthday and Christmas presents as they are so close together.

I want to know what is the best present you have ever received...

In my case, I'll rather wish that I don't receive any gift during my birthday.

I am allergy to the SMS debit advice from the bank.

A "passionate kiss followed by I love you" is worth more than anything else.

Snessy I cannot suggest you but if the wife of Rizks will ask me I have a very good idea for her. "Bring a pretty girl and present him".

Good idea.. I have already found a gift for him.. it keeps things warm and cosy ..

I think IPad is a good gift... if he doesnt have it already... a bit pricey (QR 4000???)... go for the 3G one... that doubles up as a mobile too

But he will be very happy!

UK...I make a point of getting 2 pressies every year, think it's unfair to only get one and to top it off it's the little one's birthday a week before Christmas too!

Mont Blanc is a fab idea - he's been banging on about it for ages...thank you :-)

Yeah WK...I always either buy tickets for an event or take him away, trying to be different. If all else fails, I will take him to Prague for a couple of days sans child to our all time fave restaurant (Little one can spend quality time with grandparents).

I suggest you get yourself a Santa outfit and get him a reindeer one. I'm sure you two can come up with something useful to do after that :P

What does your hubby normally use a lot? Has it been upgraded/changed in a while...drop him little hints of what he'd like...sometimes there's no need to surprise him just ask him what he wants and go get it :P

Wifee booked us into a spa for the day. Had a nice massage - all above board :O( , then a nice lunch and dinner followed by "deserts".
