What is a good birthday present for my husband?

The upgrade he keeps putting off: a proper watch, good headphones, the fragrance he loves in the big bottle. Anything he uses every day and has been making do with is the answer.

What do you buy a husband who says he does not want anything?

Listen for the complaint and buy the fix. "It is fine" about anything he owns means it is not fine. If you cannot find one, ask him to write three things down — men find that easier than answering out loud.

Anniversary: gift or experience?

Both, small and large. A thing he keeps — a watch, a bag — and a plan you do together. If the budget only stretches to one, the plan; the thing can be a birthday.

Gift ideas for your husband

The longer you are married the better you know what he wants and the more certain you are he will not say it. Husbands drop hints in the form of complaints — the headphones that "are fine", the watch strap that is going.

This list is those hints, answered: watches, headphones and speakers, the fragrance in the bottle that is nearly empty, the weekend bag. Real US prices, in stock.

The married-couple fix is two lists. Yours first — he will copy it — and neither of you sees what the other has reserved.

Swap lists instead of guessing

Make a wishlist, send them the link, and ask for theirs back. You each get things you actually want, and neither of you sees what the other has already reserved — so it is still a surprise on the day.
