Gifts for a Husband on His Birthday
Surprising a devoted husband with a gift on his birthday is one way a wife can show her spouse how much she appreciates him. Choosing a gift he will like, however, can be challenging without his input or cooperation. Even if you are not sure what he wants or needs, keeping his personality and interests in mind can help you select a thoughtful birthday gift he will love.

Whether you have been married one year or 10, a romantic birthday gift can show your husband how much you desire him. Dress in his favorite type of lingerie and take a set of boudoir photos for him. If you do not feel comfortable having photos professionally taken or printed, use a digital camera and photo printer in your home. Write him a romantic letter or poem and spray it with your perfume. Book a room at a nearby hotel or inn for a romantic birthday excursion. Surprise him with a bubble bath, flowers, wine and chocolates. If the cost of a hotel is not in your budget, prepare a romantic night for him at home. Prepare his favorite meal and set the mood with romantic music and scented candles.

If your husband's idea of a good time is sitting on the couch, there are a number of birthday gifts he will likely love.

Make his time on the couch even more relaxing by giving him a recliner or LCD TV. Help him minimize wrist pain during his hours of working online or surfing the Internet by giving him an optical ergonomic mouse. Get him off the couch, at least temporarily, by giving him a gaming system with action sports or dancing games.
The Cook

If your husband is the chef in the family, give him a birthday gift he can use to prepare his favorite meals. Buy him a pair of silicone oven mitts in his favorite color. If he enjoys grilling, buy him a mini indoor electric grill he can use for grilling indoors. Stroke his ego by giving him a personalized apron with a message such as "World's Greatest Cook" or "The Grilling King" on it. Give him a soda maker he can use to create his own carbonated beverages. If he prefers beer with the meals he cooks, sign him up for a beer of the month club.
