Can't really spell it all out, ya know, LOL!!
Anyhow, DH is going to be fffeee....late April and I *know* he's going to be really depressed!
I want to do something wonderful and/ or get him something that he'd cherish forever and that would cheer him up. The only problem is this man is incredibly hard to shop for. Unlike me for instance (whereby if you buy me anything blingy, I'd be over the moon
), he doesn't want anything. He's not into designer wear, he's not into electrical gadgets, music (well, not really), not even cars (in any case, we don't want to buy another car - having lost some not-so-chum-change when we sold ours in Singapore before we moved to Shanghai). Once I bought him a Tiffany watch (the only one time I managed to convince him to wear something designer), the darn thing broke down after 3 days - so that solidified his belief that one should never "waste money on designer cr$p"!! (his words, not mine, LOL).
The only two things that he feels passionate about (well, apart from me and our beloved cat, that is) are his work and rugby. But obviously I can't give him anything related to work. Rugby, perhaps I could arrange a rugby holiday, but how do I go about doing that?
The other thing is that his mother's 90th b.day celebration will be a HUUUUGEEE event during the Easter weekend and his niece is also getting married at that time. I was thinking initially of arranging a surprise b.day party with all his family members in Chicago, but we can't now, now that these other two events are def taking place. So I've got to arrange a b.day party here in Asia for us and friends or maybe just the two of us elsewhere. I'm thinking he may prefer the latter, since DH is so low-key, and he wouldn't want people to fuss about him. Actually, now that I've typed it all out, I think he would *hate* for people to know how old he is.
We also love travelling but I wonder about the feasibility of that, or whether it'd be desirable since we'd have just come back from a huge holiday to the US (?).
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
