What I have so far is about 6 books I picked out for him. They're all used (he usually buys used books because he reads them in about a week so it'd be silly to spend 15 dollars on one when he's done with it so quickly. Plus he's very practical. The books are…Two I just thought he may like and two came recommended from someone who has similar tastes and two I found from authors I know he likes. Then I made him a photo cookbook on shutterfly with all our favorite recipes and a bunch of pictures of him and I in it. Then I’m waiting on bookends I bought of an old tall ship (split into two to make each side of the book ends) (We took sailing lessons together that's how this applies). Is that enough? I've thought of getting him some cool electronic thing like one of those electronic book readers but i'm not sure he'd really want it and they're $260 so i want to be sure he'd like it. I feel like i should spend more on him but i don't want to go overboard either. I wish i knew what he was getting me so i could base it off that. A little about him: He's very smart, loves computers, loves to read, loves sailing and history. As I said he's practical so I don't want to get him junk. I love him like crazy so i'd buy him anything in the world, i just want to know he'll love it and be happy with it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
You Rock!
I think what you got him is great. It shows thought fullness and a great amount of effort to pick out the appropriate gifts.
As for the reader, save your money. You need to know what his thought is on the Kindle and the other e-book readers out there. If he appreciate's a good book, there's nothing like the feel of a book to curl up to. The e-readers also require you to pay for a subscription for the downloads so is that something he is willing to pay for.
Owners of the Kindle have some issues with them so there is always something they are not happy about with the reader.
I'd first sit down with him and talk about spending limits. My husband and I set them every year. He may not follow it, but hopefully he'll stay close, and you'll have an idea how much to spend.
I like your ideas. If you wanted to add something electronic, perhaps some sort of sailing gear? I'm not sure what's out there as I don't sail,but there may be something he could use for that. I think you're doing really well though!
