"I never ask for anything and always say, I don't want anything, BUT, this year I would like to have, A Hova Bator and a Chicken Brick.

Done, now isn't that easy????

HTH

Chicks Rule is right.........say it just like that! I never ask for anything either, they will all probably appreciate knowing what you really do want!

Good luck!

we've been married for 15 years and he always gets me a nice gift, i just have a thing about picking one. and then the whole, everyone watching me open it. and i am SO not a shy person.

keep the creative ideas coming as well as the down to earth just ask for it ones! i need to build my courage to do something new!

Just tell him what you want. Or mention how REALLY AWESOME it is.

Some time to help my poor man out I'll leave a magazine out open to page of what I want or the computer open with that one the screen haha But I only do that if it's something that comes in different style/types or something so I make sure I get the right one

The best thing to do is to just say " hey can I get this for my birthday!"

LOL Well, do what I did... When I was 15, I wanted a new motorcycle for my B-Day (Harley Sportster) so I had little bits and pieces of info about it everywhere, and you couldnt even open the fridge or take a shower without seein somethin about a Harley. Well, ya know what I got for my B-Day? A blue 883 Harley Custom Sportster, all chromed out, so I guess it worked!

ha haaaaa! maybe they just wanted to stop finding Harley articles in their cereal!

I support this idea. Come out and say what you want. Men appreciate that, if my DH is any indication.

You could email him info and links on the products that you're interested in, too! Any bit of information can be of use. I've been in the process of getting my DH to embrace the whole idea of getting chickens for like 8 months, so to educate him I have been emailing him a picture of "the chicken of the day." Every day. A different chicken picture. There's a lot of pictures of chickens out there!
