Re: 50 years old man

its DH's uncle. we are invited to a surprise party at a restaurant.

Re: 50 years old man

I got my uncle a wine decanter for his 50th birthday, not sure if that helps! Or maybe some beer mugs?

there's your answer. it's DH's uncle. put him in charge of this.

Re: 50 years old man

I would say a gift card or do you know what he drinks? you can make a basket with glasses and a bottle or two.

Re: 50 years old man

i am pretty much in charge of gift selections in our relationship. DH doesnt have the time/thought process to deal with planning gifts.

i dont mind, since i like shopping anyway

plus, as long as he is good at buying ME gifts (so far, so good!), i am okay with this deal

Re: 50 years old man

Do you know if he has any vacations planned? Like, if he's going on a cruise, get him onboard credits?
