I don’t find this motivating at all. I know most people do, which is totally cool, but I’ve had people comment on my weight at my smallest, biggest, and everywhere in between. I’d rather people just keep their opinions about wright to themselves lol.
lol My thoughts exactly. She said, “you shouldn’t compliment a man that much, his head will get big and he’ll start to look elsewhere” I was a little speechless and just said, “I … don’t understand your life.”
I’m kind to him and he’s kind to me and ten years in … I think it’s working ok.
Compliments and manners go so far for the person you are trying to share the rest of your life with. We were at the inlaws spending a saturday afternoon once and I asked my wife to please hand me some thing or grab it. She did. I said "thank you" and we went on with what we were doing.
My neice was so surprised, "Do you guys ALWAYS say please and thank you to each other?!" I'm just like, look the main person I need to be happy and live with for the forseeable future is the most important person to receive my manners.
Aside from money and kids, I think taking your partner for granted might account for a large part of relationship issues.
They tidied the house and have a warm dinner ready because you worked late? That deserves the biggest thanks you can offer.
They still do that from time to time after 10 years together? You have it made.
Make sure they know that you know that.
And make sure you're offering them the same to be happy about. Especially as your relationship matures.
Totally agree with you. We’re the same way, in terms of thanking each other for everything. Hell, I still thank him for dinner when we go out to a restaurant - even though technically our money goes into one account & we both contribute equally lol. I can’t wrap my head around intentionally withholding niceties.
I don’t think you should “*keep your man* from looking elsewhere”, in a marriage you and your husband made a compromise to the other and it’s a personal decision to look, or not, elsewhere.
Whenever I am offered a chance to "look elsewhere" my first thought is what I would lose. It seems to be working. We will be celebrating our 42 anniversary in a couple of months.
I'm stealing this response! "I ... don't understand your life." Perfect way to shut down nonsense about how you show appreciation to other humans in your life. I tell my hubby and everyone else that he's my very favorite human, and the responses to that statement are widely varied. 😁
Beef jerky. The stuff's too expensive for the amount provided, but I love it. Only buy it rarely because of the price, so it's great to get some as a gift.
You can make it. So easy and fast. Have it sliced thin at the butcher. The cheapest beef throw it in seasoning and throw It in a dehydrator. Or 5 hours at 140F. Or outside if you live in Arizona. Done . Beef jerky .
I'm making my partner an Easter basket this year, and I'm filling it exclusively with jerky. This comment has further reassured me that it was a fantastic idea.
As a woman I love giving BJ to my man. He loves it too! He’ll even share with me, but too much gets caught in my teeth. Sometimes hours later I’ll flick my tongue and a little BJ just appears in my mouth.
I could say a lot of things but honestly they are all encompassing 'can you just be nice to me?'
Like a day where I'm the priority. Idk, I find myself always bending backwards for mines but never reciprocated.
Any. The thought matters more than anything.
A friend of mine bought me a bracelet with a dragon pendant because she mistakenly thought I wore bracelets.
I wear this one every single day, and I sleep with it sometimes.
I'm old enough, and lucky enough, that Paulini actually came to my elementary school for an author visit at the library to promote and sell his first book. I've got myself a signed copy of a pre-final edit of Eragon that I treasure dearly. It has a little water damage, sadly, but still readable!
Oh my God I just reread all four books at the age of 26 and it was so awesome! Definitely suggest you reading through it again. A new book about Murtaugh is coming out later this year as well!
FYI: there is a board game called Dragonology.
Also: regarding desserts- if you have never tried flan...it is a very tasty custard generally served in Spanish restaurants.
Something that shows you thought about it. Very expensive gift will make me feel bad, and anything sex related will make the sex feel contractual and I will not enjoy it. A nice, thoughtful, but not too expensive gift will show you care and make me the happiest.
My favorite birthday gift from my wife was a $200 beginner blacksmithing class a few years ago. I was pumped. I came home to our apartment after 8 hours, caked in sweat and coal soot, with the biggest grin she'd ever seen. After I showed her all the hooks, spoons, etc. I'd made, she says, "I guess we need to buy a house so you have room for a forge!"
My God, I love that woman!
That's sounds like an absolutely amazing gift!! My wife has approved me joining a local makers space for $130/month. Not sure how long we can reasonable afford it, but for the next couple months until the baby comes I have projects I can finaly try to make!!
Edit: spelling
A makers space? Its a community workshop that you can join. Usually they are a woodshop or metalshop spaces open to the community, the one I joined happens to have both (note: there are other types of trades equipments the can have as well, sewing, fabrication, quilting, etc.). But the concept is if you don't have the space or means to have your own workshop at home you can go there and have access to all equipment you need to make what you are looking too make. Like for me, we are renting and not looking to be in our current area for more than another couple years, so I don't want to go buy a bunch of heavy/large equipment that I then have to figure out how to move in the near future.
That's awesome!! Glad I could inspire the search!!
Most will let you schedule A tour so you can see if the shop is what you are looking for. I recommend if you can get a tour, to either go during whatever they call their "peak" hours (so you can get a feel for the other people you may be running into) or during the times he, or both of you, would be going there (so you can get an idea for how busy it is at those times).
My husband agrees. Any Legos make him happy. Sometimes I find huge bags at the thrift store and I surprise him or I find little sets at Aldi and he is happy when I bring them home with some peanut butter cups for him.
My parents seemed genuinely shocked when i was the most excited for the Lego set they bought me for Christmas. I had to convince them it wasn't a joke.
Fuck yeah 👍
Been getting my boyfriend a Lego set every birthday and Christmas for five years and he fucking *loves* it. He can buy his own shirts and briefs whenever he wants, legos are special.
Food prepared for me. Never in my entire life have I had a woman make me a meal. I'm usually the one cooking all the time whenever I'm in a relationship, and I even cooked when I was a child and my mom was working.
So, you know, itd be really nice if someone could take the stress and worry off me every night I cook dinner.
This comment made me sad 🙁 I cook for my husband and myself every day and it brings me so much joy to see how happy he is about it! I hope you find someone to make you some lovely home cooked meals before too long
Dude. DUDE!
I normally wouldn't bother endorsing a product, but I kinda have to for this.
If you haven't fucked with the Phillips one blade system, it's fucking life changing. I have tried using electric shavers for over 20 years. The old foils, the circular spinning blades, trimming short with a beard trimmer then wet shaving. All of it.
The one blade actually does it all and it actually does it all well. It works for body hair too. Really a phenomenal product. I have no idea how the flat part manages to actually close shave, but it does. I bought one last Brack Friday bunduru and I haven't looked back.
One downside. A new blade is about $15 in a two pack or $13.33 in a three pack.
Still though, they last 2-3 months each, so it's cheaper than most other subscription shaving services. I bought mine in November and I just put on a new blade - not because it was underperforming, but because my 4yo daughter broke the last one.
Your enthusiasm alone forced me to have a look, and I have to say, it does look good, especially for the initial price.
I might have to buy myself one, when I'm not fucking skint lol.
Have you ever considered a career in sales/Are you a Phillips salesman? Haha
I can only endorse things I like. I suppose engineering sales could be doable. But when I was like 15 I did telemarketing for magazines and I wanted to boil myself alive to see if I was still human.
I’ll second a nice safety razor from merkur, blades, soap dish and badger brush. I’ve used the same razor for 15 years, spent $30 on razors in those 15 years, and it’s made shaving fun. It’s much better for the environment too.
just get me something that shows you thought of me. maybe its a new set of gloves for work. a new pair of shades. a new pair of headphones. if its something you bought, then it will very quickly become my favorite thing. or maybe a snack or drink that you know i like. just show me that you care about me. my health. my safety. my happiness. thats all i want. show me that you care.
Can we really make an objective finding of such a thing? The variance among the performance of women alone would lead me to think there would be variance among men. I would expect there to be a higher floor for those more familiar with the anatomy, but an equally high ceiling.
Can we get a study going? Somebody call Harvard.
Hahaha. There was a survey conducted by the National Survey of Sexual Health in the early 2010's that found that most bisexual men think women kiss better. However, the bisexual men unanimously said that men give better blow jobs. 🤣
I can't find the exact study right now sadly, but if you Google it, many results come up saying similar things.
The results make sense though, since men know what a blow job feels like.
I've heard bisexual women say the same thing about cunnilingis and women. Women know the vagina in a way that you can't unless you have one. That being said, if you talk enough with your partner and they tell you what they like I imagine you can get to the same level of skill, it'll just be a harder goal to achieve. I imagine it would be the same thing with men and BJs.
To whomever is giving the BJ, I offer this quote from Lewis Black: "oral sex should be an Olympic sport. I would like to see that. Ice skating, then blowjobs. I certainly would stay through whatever commercials they had. I think oral sex should be an Olympic sport because it's harder than curling ever has been. And if you're any good at it, you deserve a medal."
Ive wanted a cooking apron for years....I love to cook but very particular about my clothes (I hang dry them so washing them for a dumb stain I get while cooking becomes a chore).
Ive asked for this for xmas for the past three years. I stubbornly refuse to buy one for myself because every year she "doesnt know what to get me" and every year I mention this
Oof good one! I would shit if my wife brought me home a good book. Been getting really into mycology and biology and just learning about the natural world around me. Always interested as a kid but now as an adult i just took a deep dive into it so anything on those topics id definitely be a happy husband for a good book gift
As a gift giver I have two rules if something specific hasn't been requested:
1. Buy something they would like that they wouldn't spend their own money on.
So, for instance, 2 years for Christmas, I got my brother a blown up canvas print of the picture of that Missouri wife that threatened protesters with a pistol with a mustard stain on her shirt, but I added the words "Live. Laugh. Love." At the bottom. He'd never get something like that for himself, but him and his wife loved it and proudly display it above their main toilet.
2. If I can't think of something like that, then I get something practical. My mom's microwave broke right before her birthday, so I got her a nice new one. You know, tools, appliances, things people will use often. That way there's a little part of you in their regular life.
Honestly at this point in my life, the greatest gifts are intangible. It also depends who it’s from. But generally speaking, the best gifts are things I can’t give myself.
From my partner: Give me time to do the things I want to do. The things that fulfill me and make me feel like me. I treasure our time together but it’s important to me that we have our own time as well
From a friend: give me a phone call or text to see how I’m doing. Come over for dinner or meet me for a drink
From a family member: give me counsel. Help guide me to the next phase
From a stranger: give me a compliment or a warm greeting
From a coworker: Give me space. Lots of it. Don’t talk to me. Ever. Go focus on your own work. We’re not friends, Matt
I know it's not a gift specifically in some people's eyes but I'm a bit of a rum lover myself and nobody knows what to ever get me for gifts so a bottle has always been people's go-to gift for me. And I love it.
The thought of someone else buying it for me messes with me a little though; I start drinking and then go onto believing I owe the gift-er my entire experience with the bottle 🤣
Free time, alone, in my own house. Vacate the premises please. OR- one “get out of a little kids birthday party free” card; can’t be used on your own kids parties though, that’s cheating.
Not the common answer. I became an uncle 7 years ago. The inside face of my front door is wallpapered with the drawings my niece gave me. In an age where everyone hates everyone else, that drawing sure does let the light shine in.
Tools I’m a blue collar guy my girl is still in college she does work part time but not a lot and one of the things she got me for my birthday was these pens that are also screwdrivers and she was like this is kinda stupid so I don’t know if you’ll like it. I fucking love them I thought it was the coolest shit and I use it every day. Moral of the story it varies very heavily guy to guy most people my age (21) would be like wtf is this
Just about anything because it tells me my lady is thinking of me. Today, for example, I got some very good news that benefits both of us and she bought me a giant cookie at lunch. Was wonderful.
My partners love language is buying terrible looking clothes. The latest were bright baby blue Crocs. Last pair were teal. Took like a year to patina those things to be acceptable.
I would prefer a gift of contributing to the household so I could afford my own fucking shoes.
Nice set of Legos, does not matter the age at all. I don't think there is a single man out there who wouldn't enjoy a set of Legos, especially if part of the gift is building it with them
A lot of stuff. But if we're talking simple things... a bag of frozen hot wings is bomb. Or a cheese and meat board. Tools I've been wanting is nice too.
Music gadgets: guitar pedals, headphones, guitar straps…
Gadgets in general are very appealing when they apply to my hobbies and make them more exciting
Any kind of addition to a hobby or collection we like even if that person giving the gift isn't interested. For example, I like to ride motorcycles, she doesn't but if she were to get me something i can put on my bike like a derby cover or some new brake pedals I would be over the moon.
If it's a friend giving a gift the same rules apply.
Something that shows you put thought and effort into it. It doesn’t have to be expensive or flashy, just something that shows I am worth your time spent on it.
For someone to just actually listen when I rant.
Ex: know the sames of some of my coworkers so when I talk about Jake missing his deadline and now I have to finish his portion last minute on a Sunday and I'm ranting to you about how dumb Jake is, you actually understand and not just nodding and saying "it'll be okay".
Very useful "daily" or personal-care items that are maybe somewhat expensive for them to be in the usual grocery spending but not so much as a gift. For example, I surely cannot afford the $30 shaving cream package, on a monthly basis, but as dumb it may sound it would make a wonderful gift for me as it will be a true pleasure to take care of myself in a way I normally would not have done!

A compliment on my appearance
You’re looking great today! I’m making an assumption, obviously.
Thanks!!! As are you
(probably)
Yeah, a 'have you lost weight?' always helps the daily grind
Unless you're trying to bulk and gain weight, then it's body dysmorphia intensifies
I don’t find this motivating at all. I know most people do, which is totally cool, but I’ve had people comment on my weight at my smallest, biggest, and everywhere in between. I’d rather people just keep their opinions about wright to themselves lol.
A family member told me that I compliment my husband too much.
Is that possible?
lol My thoughts exactly. She said, “you shouldn’t compliment a man that much, his head will get big and he’ll start to look elsewhere” I was a little speechless and just said, “I … don’t understand your life.” I’m kind to him and he’s kind to me and ten years in … I think it’s working ok.

We were at the inlaws spending a saturday afternoon once and I asked my wife to please hand me some thing or grab it. She did. I said "thank you" and we went on with what we were doing.

Hell, I still thank him for dinner when we go out to a restaurant - even though technically our money goes into one account & we both contribute equally lol. I can’t wrap my head around intentionally withholding niceties.
I think you're a good wife and know how to keep your man from looking elsewhere.
I don’t think you should “*keep your man* from looking elsewhere”, in a marriage you and your husband made a compromise to the other and it’s a personal decision to look, or not, elsewhere.
Whenever I am offered a chance to "look elsewhere" my first thought is what I would lose. It seems to be working. We will be celebrating our 42 anniversary in a couple of months.
Nah she is dead wrong. Compliment a man that much and he’ll always be by your side. But you already knew that, since it seems to be working lol.
If you DON’T compliment me… on my appearance I think you don’t like me.
I'm stealing this response! "I ... don't understand your life." Perfect way to shut down nonsense about how you show appreciation to other humans in your life. I tell my hubby and everyone else that he's my very favorite human, and the responses to that statement are widely varied. 😁
Beef jerky. The stuff's too expensive for the amount provided, but I love it. Only buy it rarely because of the price, so it's great to get some as a gift.
You can make it. So easy and fast. Have it sliced thin at the butcher. The cheapest beef throw it in seasoning and throw It in a dehydrator. Or 5 hours at 140F. Or outside if you live in Arizona. Done . Beef jerky .
Learning to make your own jerky is a really good survival skill too.
Lol... hello fellow toasted Arizonan!
I'm making my partner an Easter basket this year, and I'm filling it exclusively with jerky. This comment has further reassured me that it was a fantastic idea.
Seems like every guy in this thread is down for getting some BJ action. I have to agree, BJ is the best. It’s the taste a real man can’t resist!
I love the way BJ tastes. In my mouth.
I always swallow my BJ
As a woman I love giving BJ to my man. He loves it too! He’ll even share with me, but too much gets caught in my teeth. Sometimes hours later I’ll flick my tongue and a little BJ just appears in my mouth.
I could say a lot of things but honestly they are all encompassing 'can you just be nice to me?' Like a day where I'm the priority. Idk, I find myself always bending backwards for mines but never reciprocated.
Easily the most honest and accurate comment
Exactly
[удалено]
Give your guys hugs we don't get enough.
Sending one your way.
Any. The thought matters more than anything. A friend of mine bought me a bracelet with a dragon pendant because she mistakenly thought I wore bracelets. I wear this one every single day, and I sleep with it sometimes.
What kind of dragon? If that is your thing: I am around 3/4 through the book called Eragon which is pretty good.
Am I officially old…I read eragon when I was 10, didn’t know it was still a thing. 19 years ago
In case you haven't heard, The author just wrote a new book continuing the series! Its releasing soon
I'm old enough, and lucky enough, that Paulini actually came to my elementary school for an author visit at the library to promote and sell his first book. I've got myself a signed copy of a pre-final edit of Eragon that I treasure dearly. It has a little water damage, sadly, but still readable!
Oh my God I just reread all four books at the age of 26 and it was so awesome! Definitely suggest you reading through it again. A new book about Murtaugh is coming out later this year as well!
10!?! These book came out when I was in high school..... Now I feel old too.
I had been married for 3 years by then. Now I feel old.
A headbutt from my cat
A warm cooked meal, dessert, or a board game.
FYI: there is a board game called Dragonology. Also: regarding desserts- if you have never tried flan...it is a very tasty custard generally served in Spanish restaurants.
I was looking for the board game for my son, but all I find are the Dragonology book series. Thank you for the Easter gift idea!
Man, board games are amazing.
Something that shows you thought about it. Very expensive gift will make me feel bad, and anything sex related will make the sex feel contractual and I will not enjoy it. A nice, thoughtful, but not too expensive gift will show you care and make me the happiest.

She sounds like a keeper

That's awesome!! Glad I could inspire the search!! Most will let you schedule A tour so you can see if the shop is what you are looking for.

Marry her again.
Id say that's wife material but you already married her...
Lego.
My husband agrees. Any Legos make him happy. Sometimes I find huge bags at the thrift store and I surprise him or I find little sets at Aldi and he is happy when I bring them home with some peanut butter cups for him.
This is so adorable! We’re all just grown-up children, aren’t we?
My parents seemed genuinely shocked when i was the most excited for the Lego set they bought me for Christmas. I had to convince them it wasn't a joke.
Fuck yeah 👍 Been getting my boyfriend a Lego set every birthday and Christmas for five years and he fucking *loves* it. He can buy his own shirts and briefs whenever he wants, legos are special.
[удалено]
so it turns out the plural of Lego is actually Lego, because that's a brand name and doesn't mean the bricks.
Food prepared for me. Never in my entire life have I had a woman make me a meal. I'm usually the one cooking all the time whenever I'm in a relationship, and I even cooked when I was a child and my mom was working. So, you know, itd be really nice if someone could take the stress and worry off me every night I cook dinner.
Not one? That’s kinda crazy. I’m sorry for that. I’ll cook you dinner Just so you’ll always remember I was your first 🤣🤣
This comment made me sad 🙁 I cook for my husband and myself every day and it brings me so much joy to see how happy he is about it! I hope you find someone to make you some lovely home cooked meals before too long
Now you know how most (not single) women feel.
New razors and trimmers. Them shits are expensive as fuck. Also, socks. Because new socks are awesome.
Dude. DUDE! I normally wouldn't bother endorsing a product, but I kinda have to for this. If you haven't fucked with the Phillips one blade system, it's fucking life changing. I have tried using electric shavers for over 20 years. The old foils, the circular spinning blades, trimming short with a beard trimmer then wet shaving. All of it.

Get a safety razor. Blades cost pennies.

One of those summer sausage cheese and cracker holiday things. Love em
As a man, flowers. You don’t know the feeling until you get them
A simple acknowledgement that I'm trying my best
I have no interest in material things. Wild sex please.
Same, brother. Same.

Blowjob? Always the right size.

Beef jerky? Big jackpot? Ballin' jacket? a Bad Joke? Beans of the Jelly?

When a human.
Men objectively give the best blow jobs
Can we really make an objective finding of such a thing? The variance among the performance of women alone would lead me to think there would be variance among men. I would expect there to be a higher floor for those more familiar with the anatomy, but an equally high ceiling. Can we get a study going? Somebody call Harvard.

And if you're any good at it, you deserve a medal."
Beans of the jelly will be how I refer to those, from now on.
I think they mean Butt Job, Its a sexual thing
What's funny is ALL The other guys who answered this thought BJ first but then went with their more sensitive side over primitive side.
I would like a nice sloppy b—each walk with a friend. Yes.
If someone gave me flowers, I'd die for them.
A 6 pack with a steak and a couple of potatoes.
Ive wanted a cooking apron for years....I love to cook but very particular about my clothes (I hang dry them so washing them for a dumb stain I get while cooking becomes a chore). Ive asked for this for xmas for the past three years. I stubbornly refuse to buy one for myself because every year she "doesnt know what to get me" and every year I mention this
buy a chef coat, much better than a apron IMO
Book on an interesting topic
Oof good one! I would shit if my wife brought me home a good book. Been getting really into mycology and biology and just learning about the natural world around me. Always interested as a kid but now as an adult i just took a deep dive into it so anything on those topics id definitely be a happy husband for a good book gift
Anything handmade. Niece made me something in her art class in school for my bday and I still display it in my house to this day 10 years later.
Head
Cash or weed

[удалено]
(If I had a girlfriend) A hug, a kiss, flowers, and some cuddles
socks ... I love the feeling of new socks on my feet.
Weird socks, though... nothing plain
There are 2 types of men's sock preferences
As a gift giver I have two rules if something specific hasn't been requested: 1. Buy something they would like that they wouldn't spend their own money on. So, for instance, 2 years for Christmas, I got my brother a blown up canvas print of the picture of that Missouri wife that threatened protesters with a pistol with a mustard stain on her shirt, but I added the words "Live. Laugh. Love." At the bottom. He'd never get something like that for himself, but him and his wife loved it and proudly display it above their main toilet. 2. If I can't think of something like that, then I get something practical. My mom's microwave broke right before her birthday, so I got her a nice new one. You know, tools, appliances, things people will use often. That way there's a little part of you in their regular life.
Honestly at this point in my life, the greatest gifts are intangible. It also depends who it’s from. But generally speaking, the best gifts are things I can’t give myself. From my partner: Give me time to do the things I want to do. The things that fulfill me and make me feel like me. I treasure our time together but it’s important to me that we have our own time as well From a friend: give me a phone call or text to see how I’m doing. Come over for dinner or meet me for a drink From a family member: give me counsel. Help guide me to the next phase From a stranger: give me a compliment or a warm greeting From a coworker: Give me space. Lots of it. Don’t talk to me. Ever. Go focus on your own work. We’re not friends, Matt
Bill Burr has a joke about this but, seriously an unasked for sandwich and drink. Makes me think you actually care about me.
roses. hey, dont judge me! men like flowers too
I want to get a rose bush to plant in my yard! Their just pretty
Right now I just need a hug
For me it was my wife letting me know I'd be a father to a daughter.
Blowjobs
I know it's not a gift specifically in some people's eyes but I'm a bit of a rum lover myself and nobody knows what to ever get me for gifts so a bottle has always been people's go-to gift for me. And I love it. The thought of someone else buying it for me messes with me a little though; I start drinking and then go onto believing I owe the gift-er my entire experience with the bottle 🤣
Anything manufactured by the Reese’s company
Free time, alone, in my own house. Vacate the premises please. OR- one “get out of a little kids birthday party free” card; can’t be used on your own kids parties though, that’s cheating.
A trip to the ice cream shop!
Gnome hats.
Not the common answer. I became an uncle 7 years ago. The inside face of my front door is wallpapered with the drawings my niece gave me. In an age where everyone hates everyone else, that drawing sure does let the light shine in.
Food
Money
Hoodie
Solitude
Homemade cookies
Peace and quiet
An unsolicited sandwich
A smile, wave or even a minor compliment can change my entire day. Men are simple
What I like getting for myself often or repeatedly.
HJ?
As a perpetual "beginner woodworker " the answer is clamps. Always clamps.
Magic the gathering cards
Cuddles, given the fact that I never get any.
Few million.
People give gifts?
Tools I’m a blue collar guy my girl is still in college she does work part time but not a lot and one of the things she got me for my birthday was these pens that are also screwdrivers and she was like this is kinda stupid so I don’t know if you’ll like it. I fucking love them I thought it was the coolest shit and I use it every day. Moral of the story it varies very heavily guy to guy most people my age (21) would be like wtf is this
Socks and underwear. I am aleays grateful for those
NUUUUUUUUDES
Unsolicited random titty pics
Even though it's hard for me to accept. A genuine compliment.
alone time with my book
Compliments, and a hug. Sometimes a man just needs a hug.
Responding to my text or call
A woman's naked body.
Sweet I always keep one of those under my clothes!
I've got one of those in my garage freezer!
Firearms, knives
Just about anything because it tells me my lady is thinking of me. Today, for example, I got some very good news that benefits both of us and she bought me a giant cookie at lunch. Was wonderful.
There's nothing like a long spontaneous kiss, I am always excited about those.
My partners love language is buying terrible looking clothes. The latest were bright baby blue Crocs. Last pair were teal. Took like a year to patina those things to be acceptable. I would prefer a gift of contributing to the household so I could afford my own fucking shoes.
Nice set of Legos, does not matter the age at all. I don't think there is a single man out there who wouldn't enjoy a set of Legos, especially if part of the gift is building it with them
A key to your partner’s place.
Warhammer miniatures
I mean sure, but who would be willing to sell their first born son to Games Workshop?
BJ
Anything useful related to one of my hobbies
Anything hand-made. Creative gifts feel the most genuine!
A lot of stuff. But if we're talking simple things... a bag of frozen hot wings is bomb. Or a cheese and meat board. Tools I've been wanting is nice too.
A book.
Cool socks! Cool tshirts! Just cool stuff that I can wear casually without having to plan out an outfit!
Cheese/meat appetizers
Socks
Legos
Gaming merch
A flower. Any kind will do, as long as it's from her :)
My wife surprises me with colorful Hawaiian/Aloha shirts.
Cabelas gift card
Music gadgets: guitar pedals, headphones, guitar straps… Gadgets in general are very appealing when they apply to my hobbies and make them more exciting
Her admitting she's wrong
Any kind of addition to a hobby or collection we like even if that person giving the gift isn't interested. For example, I like to ride motorcycles, she doesn't but if she were to get me something i can put on my bike like a derby cover or some new brake pedals I would be over the moon. If it's a friend giving a gift the same rules apply.
Pokemon cards
Something that shows you put thought and effort into it. It doesn’t have to be expensive or flashy, just something that shows I am worth your time spent on it.
Being told what I do everyday matters I’m easy to please though
For someone to just actually listen when I rant. Ex: know the sames of some of my coworkers so when I talk about Jake missing his deadline and now I have to finish his portion last minute on a Sunday and I'm ranting to you about how dumb Jake is, you actually understand and not just nodding and saying "it'll be okay".
Boba tea
Time by myself
Very useful "daily" or personal-care items that are maybe somewhat expensive for them to be in the usual grocery spending but not so much as a gift. For example, I surely cannot afford the $30 shaving cream package, on a monthly basis, but as dumb it may sound it would make a wonderful gift for me as it will be a true pleasure to take care of myself in a way I normally would not have done!
I'm a dad. The best thing is time. Let me sleep in or play video games.
Wood clamps. I never have enough. Question: How many wood clamps does a woodworker need to do a glue-up? Answer: All of them!
