Birthday Gifts

Birthday Gifts for New Guy?

New Guy is less of a metrosexual intellectual (like the last one!) and more of a guy's guy--- athletic, into camping/hunting, has a golden retriever, working outside/home repairs on the weekend, etc... Not sure what to get him for his birthday. I'm taking him out for a nice "steak dinner."

Birthday is tomorrow... I'm procrastinating. No time to order anything online. Gift ideas? No local Houston gift certificates... he lives in the Midwest.

Hmm maybe a Lowe's or Home Depot gift certificate or a new set of tools if you know of any that he needs.

I don't know why, but my brothers and boyfriend always have some sort of fancy swiss army-ish knife on them, or are ogling someone elses. And none of them are particularly outdoorsy...but I know my bf gets a lot of use out of it, because I often see him pulling it out for some reason or another. I'll ask him for some good recommendations and PM you.

On the pocket knife idea....get him a LEATHERMAN!! I can't stress this enough...they're awesome!! They cost a bit, but they are worth it!

You can always shop through www.cabellas.com too

Does he take his dog out with him when he hunts? There's tons of possiblities there also!

Ok, I decided if he makes it to Christmas, I'll get the pocketknife. But for now, I've decided to ruin his self-esteem by adding a nice Banana Republic button shirt to make fun of all of his Abercrombie polos.

Is there a chain outdoor goods store near him? My brother is really into rock-climbing, but my cousin didn't know what exactly to get him for Christmas. So my cousin got my brother a gift card to REI.
