Back in the day, I would've liked coupons for Me Time. Not sex...time by myself.

That would've been the shit.

I checked through the list with our devices, but some of them are really old, like the stereo

My brother's is fancy with a little screen on it. Probably like this one:

It was too complicated for me to work. I prefer my seven separate ones.

I would love one, I have 4 of them and I need them all just to watch a movie. Drives me nuts!

in our room we actually have to get out of bed to pause the dvd or turn up the volume

but I worry our devices are kind of too old to be supported by that space age thing

the one in this picture, is between $150-300 on eBay

Maybe I just need to get a long poking stick? That's what my dad used to have!

He likes those drumsticks and it's what he wants! Get them! I bet he will feel appreciated and especially heard...something that I think many men don`t feel in relationships.

she got them she just knows it's a lame gift But I agree, it's the little things that matter.

My brother has no say in how his home is decorated but he decided he wanted a little more color, so for his birthday he asked his wife for some bright and colorful placemats. As he opend the present, she said "I know this is not what you asked for, but..." and he has held it against her for a long time.

They're getting counselling.

that sucks

I always get him exactly what he asks for. It's so boring too.

He's out there right now having time by himself in the garage and driveway calling and texting as usual.

I could let him have the house to himself, but I don't have anywhere to go

Get a long stick with a hand on the end that can adjust the volume.

the perfect gift for him would be 3 extra hours in a day

which of course he'd immediately fill up with WORK or sleep

I have 6 hours to myself every day.

Hmm

Do they have a store like The Art of Shaving in Australia? (http://www.theartofshaving.com/ Sorry, I can't figure out how to hyperlink since the org update) I got a shaving sampler kit (with the pre-shave oil, shaving cream, brush, aftershave balm, and moisturizing night cream) for someone last year and they are hooked! Shaving is something he has to do and maybe doesn't enjoy (at least I don't think guys love shaving), but this will pamper him a bit.

Edit: I know this doesn't really fall under "romantic" per se, but maybe it's something nicer than he would buy himself.

which is what I would classify as romantic, it would mean I was thinking of him, spoiling him, not getting the cheapest most practical thing.

these things would depend very much on how strongly they are scented - I'd have to be able to smell them all first

and for the guy with no time, I suspect making shaving take longer than normal isn't something he'd be seeking to do

once I gave him a cologne which had a gorgeous and unmistakable scent. I said to put it on when you want to get it on, since I would smell it and know. He hated it

he sounds quite fussy. you've got your work cut out for you, it would seem

yes! I'm so easy, I like so many things!!!

he is awful. Could it be like this because he came from less fortunate beginnings and realises the true worth of things are in the immaterial?

I don't think it really adds time to the shaving routine. They don't have to use the pre-shave or after-shave moisturizer, but these products are meant to work together to condition the skin and make the shaves closer and reduce sensitivity, ingrown hairs, etc.

In terms of the scent, I don't think they are cologne-y at all. The person I bought it for does not like cologne or strong scents and they were okay with this. I got them a starter kit from the "unscented" line: http://www.theartofshavin.../group/1/1

If it weren't so close to xmas, I would offer to mail you a box of samples I have and then you could see what you thought. Do you think there would be enough time? Do they even ship to Australia?

Edit: I see they do ship internationally! http://www.theartofshavin...merservice

[Edited 12/2/10 19:41pm]

I've spent thousands on gifts for him for christmas over the years.......I swear, the happiest christmas morning was the one where I included a hooded terry robe and a case of beer. (there were other items but I swear...these excited him most.)

some men r ungrateful and do not know the meaning of the word thank you

they do not realise the effort and hard work put into getting them something nice

plus what ever u do it is never good enough

so i give up....

write him a song. sing him awake. make him waffles with mango jelly and fuck him silly. take him to the zoo, or some other kind of walkabout. give him a certificate for a day where you do anything he wants to do

or not.

Listen up folk and take note. This is what you say in order to get anal.

I was tracking how many posts it would take before you posted the "a" word. So predictable.

Then again, I was going to say "unexpected head," so...

[Edited 12/3/10 8:10am]

is there an electric snuggie? It's cold here.
