Hi men!
I'd like some gift ideas for my H. We are married for more than 14 years and I have given him many gifts like watches, his favourite football club things, special candle light dinner, phones etc......I am planning for a surprise gift soon and would like to know what kinda gift do men really like? Thanks in advance
It depends on the man, but for someone like me who tends not to spend money on himself, a gift card at a place like Lowe's, Home Depot, or Half-Price Books is great. I'm like a kid in a candy store.
And you can never go wrong with a steak and a BJ. Never.
I'll be watching this, as our first anniversary is in a month. The traditional gift is paper; I already buy him lots of books, so that's out. Our favorite team's season just ended last night, so that's out, too. Lol Posted via Mobile Device

Paper huh?
Why not wrap yourself in a paper towel bikini and present yourself to him to "un-wrap" when he gets home?

OK, you screwed up, it happens. Now apologize. But apologize just once. Make it loud, clear, short, to the point, and directly to those you trespassed against. Then move on.
I would say, mostly "experiences". Tickets to a football game, soccer or a concert. If it must be a "thing" then it's best if it's something that I wouldn't get for myself. Cologne perhaps. For me, we have horses but I'm not that into them, so horse stuff would be good for me because I wouldn't naturally go out and buy it and wouldn't be too picky.
For stuff I'm actually into, I've very picky. For example, I'm into climbing. I would like to get some new cams for this hobby. But there are about 10 different brands and I only like one of them, and I only need certain sizes. Things like this are very personal (I trust my life to my cams). Something like golf clubs sounds great until you realize that you pretty much need to know exactly what clubs he wants or he'll be disappointed. And he'll be stuck with clubs he wouldn't have picked for the next 10 years.
For me, the key is that I like to get things that show that the giver has paid attention to what I like. Too often, from the STBXW, I got gifts that she thought I "ought" to like, rather than things that I did like.
I got a new grill, because she thought we should grill more, and I didn't seem to show much interest in the old grill (because, I'm just not that into grilling).
I got new clothes, because she thought I should have some new clothes.
I got a new video camera when the kids were young, because I hadn't been taking as many movies of them as she thought I should.
NONE of those were good gifts. On the other hand, I once got a new bicycle seat, because I mentioned a couple of times that the old one was making me saddle sore. THAT was a good gift, because it showed she was listening to me and what I wanted.
Not a guy but my suggestion would be.... Suprise him by ... standing there in lingerie or... naked with a beer in your hand (if he drinks beer...) and something else he likes... maybe tickets to a football game or something for later?
What's your husband's passion? For example, I'd play golf until my hands bleed, and I have. It's safe to say that that's my passion. I also love Denver sports. So I'm easy to shop for. Anything in any of those arenas make me a happy guy.
So, whatever your husband's passion is, that's what you get him. If he loves baseball, then get tickets to a ball game. What's cool is you get to go too. Going to baseball games is much better than watching on TV, btw. My wife LOVES going to baseball games. If he's a football guy, get him a jersey of his favorite player. If he's a golf nut like me, take him to a golf shop to get a new driver, putter, whatever.

Seriously? Nakedness just goes without saying for things like this.

What kind of gifts do men like?
