What cool gifts do you buy a guy who has just about everything? That is one dilemma I face every year during the holidays. My husband is the type of guy who doesn’t NEED anyhing. When putting our holiday gift lists together every year, all I get from him is “A Best Buy Gift Card for the best tech gifts would be awesome”. Yes, every year the entire family buys him exactly what he wants and he ends up spending it on the kids and I. (Really, that isn’t such a bad thing, right?)

So this year, I decided to take on a different tactic. Why not tell him that we needed a gift and that I wanted to pick up a movie for a friend, then follow him around the store while he is checking out the best tech gifts for the season.

I remember when I was pregnant and looking for something a little different than the typical nursery pastels when I began decorating my daughter’s room.
