need help w/ bday gift for DH

DH's bday is tomorrow and we are closing on our house... so it will be a crazy spending money day, and I know I am so bad I haven't gotten him anything yet.... but what can I get that doesn't cost a lot?

He wants all these tools for the house, but is it kinda corny to get him that?

Tools are not corny -- it's somethings he wants and will be needing. Good luck with the closing!

First off Congrats on the closing of your house Chat Icon Chat Icon

I don't think it is cheesy to get him a tool for the house. Since you said there is a lot of work to be done, why not get him a toolbox filled with some basic things like hammer, screwdriver set & plyers....They will come in handy when you first move in...

ITA: There are still tools we need & DH wants. They would be a great gift!

I dont know how much you want tp spend.

When we closed on own house I got my DH the dvd of the movie "The money pit" Chat Icon it was pretty funny.

You can get some tools or maybe a good shop vac, I know we use ours all the time.

Not sure if you house needs a lot of work but maybe make up a garbage pail of stuff you will need all the time like drop clothes, work gloves, duct tape, masking tape, electrical tape, paint brushes, random tools, etc.

Or lawn stuff like rakes and all that jazz.

I know we needed EVERYTHING when he bought our house and it adds up fast.

TOOOOOLLLLLLSSSSSS!!!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I've been in our house over 11 years, and I still ask for/get tools for b-days and christmas. I usually give out UPC codes/model numbers for the tools I want, since I'm particular about what I want. Otherwise, HD, Lowes or Sears GC are great.

Definitely get him a tool or something that he wants.

We closed at the end of March and DH gets all excited about lawn mowers, edgers, blowers, saws and all sorts of tools now!!!
