Valentine's Day is coming up and I'd love to get Freepers' opinions of the best gift idea they've ever heard of for a man .... something that will completely melt him like butter and make him feel like a million bucks.
I know there are plenty of creative and imaginative people on this forum so please help me here .....
Speaking from experience... to make my husband smile.. I head to Home Depot or Lowes. Anything you can pour gas into or plug in AND makes this sound... VRMMMMMMMMMMM.. is a winner. Wet/Dry vac, chainsaw, leaf blower... as long as it VRMMMMMMMM’S.. it is therefore manly.
If you don’t want to do that... some meat dish, potatoes, (skip the salad unless your man is unique) and his favorite beer. (I could add a few more secrets, darling, but that is how I ended up with 3 kids... giggle, giggle)
Sorry, it's Vermont Teddy Bear season again and I'm getting brainwashed by the commercials already.
Badee-ah, badee-ah, badeeeee-aaah.
Baseball tickets. My guy also likes dark chocolate and red wine. And computer stuff.
If I had a girlfriend or a wife, I would really be impressed if she got me a rare edition of one of my favorite books. Since you are talking about only $100, it probably cannot be that rare, but something along those lines.
Gallon-size jugs of Tabasco
Really? Not too hard to figure out and it wont cost much at all.

It’s a link to a blog (not mine). But it’s a blog post about bacon. Bacon that is rolled up in pork. And then wrapped in bacon, and of course smoked.
I agree. Many men I know take the same amount of time shopping at a hardware/home improvement store that a woman takes shopping at a department store.
I call it the “hardware store lust” look. Yeah... I’ve seen you guys! Eyes all glassy, mouth slightly open and the smallest bit of drool just hanging out! The new power mowers, the snow blowers, the drills... tempting you! It’s hardware porn.. plain and simple. LOL!
you are absolutely correct
the most horrible teddy bear I ever gave my wife.....hard as a rock and totally un-hugable......who needs a teddy bear you can’t hug....
Get a Disney Duffy bear...the bestest hug-gable bear in the world....
You married quite a woman (mine got me a silencer for my AR-15)! I hope my kids do as well as we did.
I meant a special little gift of some kind.
I believe you are correct in that assumption. I thought your type of the Female species died out with the Dinosaurs or was it the Flappers in the 20’s.
Thanks for sharing. You sound like a wonderful women.
I'm a guy, and I like this better than Tabasco any day of the week.
Well, there are only two things I can think of that make me feel that way, and I'm pretty sure you can whip both of them up for way less than a hundred dollars.
Heh... I got to indulge in a bit of that today, and my wife even paid for it! Only thing better is when your wife pays for your gun porn! LOL
Hmmmmmmm!
