My OH turns 30 in a couple of weeks - and he isnt really looking forward to it :( for his birthday we are going away camping for a few days with a few of his mates and his sister.  We are going to decorate the tents in balloons and stuff for his actual birthday and we might get his mum to come down ;)  I am really stuck though on what to buy him, im not particularly flush and really he has everything, his only hobbies are camping and  chelsea football club :rolleyes:  so I might get him one of those mini kit things for the car from the boys but I wanted to get him something special from me.  He has recently bought himself two watches and isnt really into jewellery so I am completely stumped :(

I have about £100 to spend on him if anyone has any ideas I would be most greatful :)

What about one of those Red Letter Day thingys? My dad won one once and he got to pick one he fancied doing,  he went on a Stars Wars simulator and  loved it :D

I always get stuck on what to buy for men aswell, hmmmmm, what about clothes? like some nice shirts, if you know what he would like that is, aftershave? erm . . . . case of beer? lol im sure that would put a smile on his face :D

Yeah like those rally day courses, great fun!

I've just looked on the website and they have some great experiences...think I may drop some hints to my parents even tho my birthday isn't until May!!!!

Or you could put the £100 pounds in a lovely birthday card and then he can choose what he wants to spend it on :-D

I usually buy him clothes, he does like my taste (infact he wont go shopping without me ;) ) so I will use this as a last resort :)

Red letter days, this was something I was thinking of ive done a couple of rally experiences and they were fab - but I am a bit of a girl racer ;)

Me too, I'd love a go in a rally car.....anyone feeling generous?!!!

If you do manage to pursuade someone to buy you one, the best one is in shropshire, its a whole days experience, and is great fun I was the only female and came 4th out of about 15 men - and I beat my dad :D :D

I got my OH one of those for his 21st, and he LOVED it!!! He wants me to buy him another one for his 27th next month. His fav persent on his 21st was our son, but the Rally Day came a close second!!! :D :D

Nice 1 girls! Us girl racers should all get together and go to one for the day for the hell of it lol :D
I call the Evo!

An Evo!!!! Now that is what my OH would REALLY like!!!!! But i keep telling him that Tyson wouldnt fit!!!! So it has to be a 4 x4 instead!! LOL ;-)

I will have one. . . . one day! :D think their bootiful!
Thats when im rich and il have a shogun on the side for blue! lol

I know the skid pan days are about £100, they are great fun...i'm a bit of a girl racer!

Men are so hard to buy for.... my OH is 40 next year (me only 24!!) so he's a little touchy on the subject!!! Men get really miserable round there birthdays!!!

If he loves camping what about a suvival weekend, tank driving (might be to expensive but fun!) paintballing with his mates, quad biking which you could probably book near a place you are camping as a surprise. POsh camping knife like a leatherman, or gadgets from online gift ideas shops put in mens gifs into google that might come up with some ideas. I do this sort of thing everyyear for my Dad, Brother and OH!!!

tank driving sounds fun, we were talking about this at the weekend I couldnt believe he had never been in a tank

I'm thinking of doing a red letter day for my hubby, maybe a balloon ride or a 4 x 4 day.  I did a rally day for my son, he really enjoyed it but know he thinks he's a rally driver! :-D

What about some photos?

We went to a place called 'Venture' they have places all over the country and do really cool modern photo sessions - we took the dogs along and we all enjoyed it. The photos are fab too, really different and vibrant compared to the traditional sit together poses you normaly expect from a photo shoot.

I think their gift range starts from something like £25 and that includes the session and a desk size photo - you can then chose to upgrade size/frames if you want :)

(lol i should get commission on that post :D)
