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

    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.

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

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

    Lol, nothing, your wife isn’t suppose to have boyfriend!

    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

    Maybe a mutual girlfriend?
