Help!!

The month of May is super busy for me. I need your help. I have 6 birthdays and 1 gradauation. Thankfully they are pretty spread out. The dilemma is that 5 of the birthdays are of the male persuasion. What do you get a man/boy for his birthday? When it comes to my sons, no problem. I know what they want. Another toy. My brother? I have no idea. My dad? Same. Two male cousins? Nada. Zip. The female cousin and the graduate are female. I can manage something for them. So, for those of you out there that know what the guys want for a birthday present - please, please, please tell me! Should I go with an actual gift? A gift card? The good-for-any-occasion money gift? Actually, since I have so many cousins I'm just sticking with cards for them. So all I really need are ideas for my brother and dad. And to make this even easier - my dad and I aren't really close, so it doesn't have to be spectacularly personal or anything. Hey, maybe I'll just get him a card. *sigh* See? I have no idea!! HELP!!!


Until next time...

Yes, gift cards are always nice...dinner and a movie from red robin is fun.

Oh, I get frustrated trying to figure out what to get certain people, too (especially guys -- why are they so difficult to buy for? WHY?!)

I agree with a gift card... maybe to somewhere like Amazon.com. They have all kinds of things, and, if it's over $25, it's free shipping.

Gift cards seem to be the easiest thing. That is what I have to do. I am not a part of my side of the family's everyday life, so I have no idea what they like anymore. Amazon would be a good place to start.

I am a big fan of gift cards, personally. Giving AND receiving them. THey're like 2 gifts wrapped up in one.

Oh - I was going to add - I also no longer buy cards for any ocassion. Talk about a waste of money? Cards are like $4-$5 and they just end up in the trash anyway (usually) so, I either handmake a card or write a note with a $5 that says I was gonna by them a witty card but figured they'd like the $5 more.
