Birthday gifts for the husband who has everything

He has it all. If he doesn’t, he finds it and buys himself the one he wants. Or, he knows exactly what he wants and won’t settle for anything else...only, you don’t know what it is. Ug. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for much gift giving. Or does it? When you’re shopping for birthday gifts for husbands who have everything you have some serious freedom to think out of the box. Give him a new experience, tickets to an event, a personalized book of the history of his favorite topic or sport, an original newspaper from the day he was born, or a book of the reasons why you love him. Those are just a few gift ideas that we’ve found keep the home fires burning for the guy who has it all.

Romantic birthday gift for your husband

He’s the one for you and you want to give a romantic birthday gift to your husband that he’ll get all revved up about. How about a romance novel featuring your names? Or, a book of the reasons why you love him? A romantic lunch on a sailboat? Or, a wine tasting event at a local wine bar? Go straight to the heart of your big guy with an experience or personalized gift that’s just for him.

Personalized birthday gift for husband

He’s making his mark in the world and is an awesome husband to boot. He deserves a gift with his name emblazoned on it to make it official!

How to go Beyond-the-Ordinary Birthday Ideas for your Husband

You can always count on your husband to make you laugh, so now you're in search of gifts to make him smile. These birthday ideas for your husband go beyond the clichés, since he's the complete package. He's manly, silly, a bit of a daredevil, and he makes the best tacos. Find a present to show that beloved husband of yours that he's a rare gift.

Show him you know what thrills him

Set him up with a gift that rifts on one of his favorite things to do (travel, biking, grilling, running). Your gift will get a lot of use, and he'll appreciate how you know him so well.

Toast to his other love

Your guy is a beer lover through and through (even though bespoke cocktails are all the rage.) Find birthday ideas for your husband to cater to his other love: cold craft brews.

Present the latest gadget

He loves to geek out on cool gadgets, so look for birthday ideas for your husband on the techie side. From a kitchen gadget for the grill master to a retro clock he'll love on his desk, get him wired on something new to fixate on.

Add to his rugged, anything-but-schlubby style

Skip the tie cliché for your sweetheart. Look for cool tees for your dapper dude or gift a manly grooming kit that he'll appreciate.

Play to his competitive side

He's all in with any kind of competition, so thrill him with a fun game or even a once-in-a-lifetime ride in a race car. Basically, look for birthday ideas for your husband that let him enjoy sports, even more.

Celebrate the husband who's a Saturday morning chef

No one makes better pancakes and eggs than your man. And he's not afraid to wear an apron. Look for birthday ideas for your husband that will help him be a top chef.

Let him jam

He's the guy who introduced you to some of your favorite bands, so you can be sure he'll love any gifts related to music. Pair a new device (headphones, speaker, charger) with a personalized playlist just for him.
