Mike's birthday is coming up. I'm amazed that Mike chose ME to marry, because quite frankly, he is the pickiest person I know. Just got tie shopping with him for 15 minutes. It will blow your mind.
.
This being said, it makes it difficult when it comes to shopping for gifts around special occasions & holidays {our anniversary is at the end of April as well, so it's a double whammy for me}. He told me that I'm not allowed to buy him clothes, which cuts out 99.9% of the ideas that I did have.
.
Anyway. I'm taking suggestions. Please help.

Guess any ideas will have to be shared in secret since you know who might be lurking around your blog........

lets include patrick in this topic. shopping with and for him will be the death of me someday. he is so picky and yet will wear the a really ugly t-shirt he got 10 years ago.
I have to buy stuff for him, sneak it into his closet like its been there for years and then he will wear it.

Are there any books he wants?

I generally go for things like books,(antique ones are very cool). One year I got him a remote control helicopter that actually flies (best gift ever in my case).

Mike said...

Two words - Victoria's. Secret.

I didn't know Victoria's Secret sold a men's line now. I would love to see something that was for a guy that was all lacy and stringy with little shoes to match. Great idea!
