Finding the perfect gift for your husband can be tricky, you want it to be meaningful and special, otherwise, it won’t be as impactful. Here are some ideas to help spark your creativity and get you the right gift.
1. An Experience – Something Intimate.
Whether you take him out flying on a plane or spend the night at a hotel, an outing will be special and demonstrate your thoughtfulness and love. If you’re planning to do something more intimate you can also customize it to your husband’s interests. If he’d rather stay in and you prepare a romantic dinner at home, enveloped in his favorite scent with a few romantic movies in the background, then do this. An experience with lots of meaning and thought will bring much more to your relationship than a material gift.
2. Something Handmade

You can make him something like a scrapbook filled with memories, a poster of your favorite photos together or even something like a terrarium that you’ve made especially for him. If you’re strapped for time, customizing a gift or a handmade card will also bring a lot of meaning.
3. Technology Related

Customizing it with engraving, a name tag or an inside joke will make it even more special.
4. A Book
