I'm thinking ahead to Valentine's Day. I know it's not rally a "guy"s holiday but my DH spoils me rotten and I want to think of something to gift him.
He literally has everything, if he likes something he buys multiples!
He loves golf and football, and has really nice (pricey) taste in clothes/watches. Thoughts!?

I have the same problem!!!! He got into scotch a few years ago so that helped me out a lot! :biggrin: So now I get him a really nice bottle a few times a year. Also I got him a really nice watch winder for his Patek Philippe. Just remembered! Fancy cufflinks for when we used to get fancy and go out for birthday dinners. He has a set of Cartier, Hermes Porsche (insert eye roll) and a few others I cant think of right now.

My husband is also very much into Scotch. I believe we spent half our trip to Scotland taking distillery tours, lol. I don't drink but I very much enjoyed the "how it's made" educational aspect.

For someone who has everything, I look to focus on the "experience" rather than the "gift". My husband buys whatever he wants. If he wants it to be a gift, I'll just give him money for it and call it a day. There's not "thing" I can get him that he hasn't already analyzed to death over whether he wants it and if he does he buys it. He will always know more about watches/whisky/cigars/etc than I will ever care to know so there's nothing I'd want to try surprising him with.

So I look at smaller gestures. Maybe you make a home cooked meal, or maybe you commission an artist to create something meaningful to the both of you. I have occasionally gifted my DH flowers for fun. If he's into golf, maybe you can tell him you want to commission a custom measured set for him.

If he has a football athlete he really loves, you can check if they're on Cameo, you can pay for celebrities to record quick video messages for people. It can be really fun and unique to surprise someone with that kind of message.

Maybe something that would improve his quality of life? Like, if he uses a treadmill a lot, get him a tablet and a Netflix membership to watch shows while he works out.

Or, a really upgraded version of a mundane item, like really nice, high quality wool socks.

Or, if he likes watches, can you get him a very nice, upgrade watch box? Or find him a unique vintage watch?

He loves his watches, he has 2 Hublots and a beautiful 3 watch winder.
His friends joke that he has the nicest golf clubs for someone who likes to play but isn't very good lol
He has back stock on all his favorite products - cologne, shower stuff, etc. . .

He spoils me and himself apparently lol

I was looking at a branding iron for steaks with his initials maybe. Or I saw a cool tabletop fire pit but it was sold out.
I did see a friend on FB hire a private flight around the city for her DH and I remember it being a lot less expensive than I expected.

I want it to be thoughtful!

Might buy him something that allows him to practice his golf swing at home as in a virtual game that allows him to use his own clubs or, depending on space, a small putter course.

Also a nice idea might be to engrave a watch, existing or new.

If he likes to grill/cook outside, you might consider a smoker. My friends have one and really enjoy it.

I used to buy dh a bottle of scotch and cigars every year. But he stopped drinking. So now I buy him a Burberry shirt every holiday but I am always looking for one more thing to buy with it. It is hard to shop for guys who live simply or don’t have lots of needs/wants.

It's hard! Everyday there's a box on the porch; new golf shoes, monogrammed golf bag, Lulu for men, etc. . .
I'm like "BABE!!! Stop buying everything, I'm left with nothing to get you!!"

You can combine his love for golf and watches with a GPS Golf Watch if he doesn't already have one.
I bought one last year and I really like it. Here's a link: (Canadian site so pricing will be off). https://www.golftown.com/en-CA/golf-tech/gps-watches/
If he loves gadgets he probably already has a rangefinder, but I think it's handy to have on on your wrist, and it keeps track of (most of) your strokes and all the other fitness stuff too.
In the golf theme, you can get personalized balls with his name or a design or phrase on them...
You know like "keep a firm grip on your stiff shaft" or something like that :lol:

I like the idea of the flat iron grill thingy and the private plane (or heli) ride. Very cool :flowers:

Classic question! Most men are very difficult to buy for.

This is a question I've asked myself every Valentines, Christmas and birthday. Mine is into photography so that was a good vein to mine but I'm not the expert so I always needed to ask. The thing is, he will also sell what he no longer needs and I don't like the idea of a heart-felt gift ending-up on Ebay.

I really like the idea from rsnacks', an amazing night/weekend/short stay in a special place seems more appropriate for Valentines (and it doesn't have to be on Feb 14).

I use to buy him designer belts and Card cases but he doesn’t need anymore right now. These were the perfect little gifts to say Im thinking about you. Lately I have been buying him Burberry coats and jackets. It’s my new go to when all else fails.

I can relate Swanky...I charted a private fishing boat for a day of deep sea fishing in the ocean for him. DH said it was the
best present ever and I got to eat the freshest seafood ever.

Golf lovers enjoy being gifted a round of golf at extraordinary courses
