My Wife’s boyfriend’s birthday is Saturday. What is a good gift idea for a really good guy?

March 19th, 2009 · 17 Comments

Jacquot asked:


Last year for my 35th birthday, he got me tickets to the Chicago Cubs game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a really fun experience! Go Cubs. :)

As a gesture of goodwill, I’d like to get him something he might enjoy as well, since he’s practically family.

My wife isn’t much help in giving me ideas. I guess they don’t actually spend that much time talking.

What are some ideas to give a guy for a gift to let him know you appreciate his friendship?

    If your wife has a boyfriend I wouldn’t bother getting him anything considering he already got your wife.

    I got my husband’s boyfriend a new Samsung 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV, and he’s really enjoyed it. So, maybe electronics are the way to go? That way you’ll both be able to enjoy the game together in hi-def when getting tickets isn’t feasible.

    Whatever you decide, I’m sure he’ll appreciate you thoughtful gesture of friendship.

    Your Wife’s Boyfriend? Sounds a bit strange to me! I don’t think I’d being buying him anything, but if you must, how about BULL’s tickets? I know they are not much to see since MJ retired, but he may like to see a game courtside if you can get them.

    Depends on the kind of guy he is- expensive cigars, new pda cell phone deal iphone or whatever, tickets to a hockey or football game, some power tool if he likes that kind of stuff, tickets to a car show or other local activity, or get him and your wife a weekend trip to a winery bed and breakfast or something like that.

    Condoms, so you do not have to raise his kids

  • 11 Jen N // Apr 5, 2009 at 10:34 pm

    Well you would have to know what he likes doing, besides you wife (buh-dum-dum). A gift certificate is always a good go to gift when you just can’t think of the perfect gift to get your wife’s lover.

  • 12 ? babby snuggie ? // Apr 6, 2009 at 8:29 am

    a voucher for a lifetime supply of condoms, that should make him happy.

  • 13 kafirdog // Apr 7, 2009 at 5:15 am

    Its not clear what you are trying to achieve but this would appear to be a joke question.

    get him a muzzle that he can use on your wife, this way you both get something out of it and everyones happy…except her

  • 16 starpenta // Apr 13, 2009 at 3:37 am
