Women seem to underestimate a man's appreciation for flowers. What's good for the gander....

COOKIE: i always like something from LL BEAN. order a full catalog and look it over at leisure or go online. you can be sure it will be quality, from clothes to gear to household something.

CC, This may or may not be applicable to your situation but one idea may be to help expanding the man's experience a bit. Men are pretty set in their ways even before their fifties but sometimes are conceptually interested in something, they just would not make the move. I was conceptually interested in cooking for at least 20 years before I got really interested:). F&D

i have received many thoughtful and fun gifts from my partner over the years, but a stay at this resort, which has locations worldwide, is probably the most unique and appreciated gift I have received .... the food at all these Amangani resorts is worth the price of admission...even a simple visit for dining is a nice gift -

I always can find something myself that I love at an LL Bean or REI, but I have yet to receive that kind of gift ...since I give to myself from that source. My desires are very specific and detailed in the recreational area.

Find out his favorite food. Prepare it yourself if you are a good cook. Or get from a gormet shop... Out

A summer cruise in the Mediterranean visiting Greek Isles, Turkey, Sardinia & Sicily. Any woman who buys me that will be rewarded with the best sex she ever had :lol:

53 Next week. My wife is putting together a day with my daughters and 2 grandchildren for me. Nothing could be better-time spent with them is magic.

I'm really partial to rare, old Calvados, Armagnac, Cognac, and Bourbon. Frankly, a decent Scotch is usually a good to me as a really old one. The Calvados is just a little more spendy than I want to cough up for, but when I have it, I always appreciate it. Mark
