Birthday gifts

[Adrian Foley]

One of my favorite instructors from marching band is turning 30 on Wednesday.

And I'm having a bit of trouble thinking of a good birthday gift for him.

Last year I crocheted him a scarf and made a plate of cookies- but time is of the essence, and I'm not creative.

What would you males out there like?

Re: Birthday gifts

Do you know why kind of music he likes? You could buy him a CD or made him a mixed one.

Yeah, I'm not very original either. But assuming he's a music teacher of sorts he ought to like music. And then maybe bake him some more cookies. =P

I'm 18- so I can't quite buy booze yet.

You could STEAL it. That's hardcore.

Ain't that the truth.

Oh golly. I just did a search for gifts on Target.com, and the first item that popped up was the "Mangroomer do-it-yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver."

That's terrifying.

For those among us who do not wish to be bears anymore. And not the gay bear. Just hairy individuals.

I could use one. =(

I can imagine all kinds of hilarious scenarios in which you actually buy one of those for this guy.

Having turned 30 once myself (and 29 twice) it's important to ease a man into this new phase of life with dignity and honor.

Personal grooming items should be fine so long as you avoid mines like hair-brushes or dye. Perhaps track down the name of a good urologist. It'll take some of the anxiety out of that first appointed prostate exam.

While not quite old enough to actually be your dad, you may want to remind him that you think of him that way with a gift of some plaid, golf pants.

Boy, that sure would be inappropriate considering the extent of our relationship in the past 3 years.

If theres one thing worse than no present. It's bad present. Get him something that tells him you know him. Not some garbage you get on clearance. The best kinds are the ones you make.

So far I'm making him a card (it should kick some relative booty), and my sister of similar age to him suggested a putter and driver for disc golf.

So... American Pie: Band Camp?

I'm sorry. My mind is a-wandering today and filled with random thoughts that I keep posting.
