Guys Are So Hard To Buy For

It's Jon's birthday in less than a month. It also happens to be the same time as Thanksgiving week-end here in Canada. Needless to say this is his FAVORITE holiday! He usually starts talking about this magical week-end in July. It's the equivalent of Christmas for him. He plans the food, the dessert, the food, the turkey, the food, oh and the gifts he wants to buy me. I've argued with him over and over about how gifts for me on his birthday is a little ridiculous. I mean it's HIS day and mine is only a month after that. His way of thinking is it's practically a Christmas holiday and it's his special day. He should be able to do whatever he wants on it. But I digress.

Because I want his "birththanksing?" "thanksbirthing?" "birthgiveday?"  birthday-thanksgiving to be fantabulous I search every year for the perfect gift. With the creation of etsy and pinterest looking for gifts has become a lot easier. Selecting the perfect gift, however, is still a challenge. He recently started a pinterest account so I thought today I'd post about a few options I could get him from what he's mentioned he likes on etsy and pinterest. I'm not going to necessarily get him anything from this list though! **Click on the picture to go to the website it's from**

 








So those are a few things he's mentioned he likes. Put nothing is really jumping out at me as the perfect gift! They all seem a little.... weird? Any suggestions?

  1. I love the thought cloud pillows! That is so cute! Wish I had some suggestions, but I don't, because like you said guys are hard to shop for. :)

  3. I love these. ^_^ That ring? Is charming. I honestly couldn't help you, as far as shopping for a guy goes. My wife and I only have one man we shop for and that's my father-in-law and he's not a huge fan of the holidays. Gah. x.x

    I would say go with his personality, go with his favorites (favorite movie? see if you can find an epic poster. Favorite sports team if he has one? Buy him some cool memorabilia. Does he love Science? Computer games? Etc.) and just try and think about what he already has and what he does and go from there.

    I hope I helped a little!!!

  4. hahaha.. That tshirt made me laugh. If I saw that man wearing it coming toward me I would probably laugh for a moment, then run in the opposite direction. You AWAYS think up a perfect gift so I know you will again this year. I didn't know Jon did that, although I'm not surprised at all...he does seem to love gift giving!!! How sweet.
