Somebody help me with a holiday gift idea for hubby...

[CTyankee]

late 70s, has everything he needs, Wisconsin native and loves the Packers, loves sports, does not need another lumberjack shirt from LL Bean, we've stopped drinking due to health issues, very much into politics (lifelong Dem, very liberal), plus I see to it that he gets kissed by me very sweetly and deeply every day...

Any suggestions???

5. Oh, yes! The cheese and sausage sampler looks very good. He loves WI sausage and we can't

get what he likes here in CT...

4. Something warm?

Cold up there. Something for outdoors or even indoors if appropriate. Still driving? Some sort of winter device.

[CTyankee]

7. yes, still driving thn not in iffy weather. Will look for something along those lines...thanks!

6. Also from WI. Green Bay even

I bought him a leather and fur bomber hat that he adored.
I gave him a great pair of binoculars
he loved
I bought in one of those cheap catalogues a cheap pair of snowblowing gloves that he sAid were the best he ever had.
Lucky for me mine is into Rubik’s cubes so easy for me.

[CTyankee]

8. the hat is a possibility. He is partially disabled (uses a walker) so no snowblowing...

17. Slightly OT, but I always think of this whenever Green Bay...

...is mentioned.

When my husband and I were first married, he got stationed at KI Sawyer AFB in the upper peninsula of Michigan. He flew tankers. We used to Joke around that we were 2 of very few people who had to drive SOUTH to get to Green Bay.

[LakeArenal]

20. And was it worth the drive?

21. Considering hat there is pretty much NOTHING to do...

...in the UP, it most definitely was.

10. Good blue tooth headphones so he can watch programs when and where he wants.

Got them for my 73 year old hubby and he wears them watching TV cause he likes it loud and pairs them with his computer so he can listen to what interests him but doesn't have to sit at the computer.

11. Tickets to a concert or performance that you would both enjoy?

[CTyankee]

12. I'll be on the lookout for something here in New Haven...

There used to be an opera series we attended for several years but no more. Just crappy stuff. However, Yale has some nice stuff from its school of music.

13. Buy chickens and goats in his name for some poor family in Africa.

They can sell the milk and eggs for some coin they have no other access to if they are subsistance farmers. That means school uniforms and health care. It starts a cycle.

[CTyankee]

14. I'll google that (unless you have the name of a charity handy). And thank you!

[applegrove]

15. Buy the chickens. Apparently many people in africa are lactose intolerant

and goats are not the most efficient source of protein. Feed the Children is transparent like that. Here is the site i go to every xmas. Chickens look good. But it is a canadian charity. I don't know if they take US credit cards.

You could also buy bees. Or bed nets.
