Unique Birthday Gifts For Men

My hubbies birthday is coming up in a couple of months, so while I was checking for gifts I want to list on our Male Room page I found some really cool gift that I wanted to share with you. Well it’s gifts I think he would like but I’m sure these are guy gifts that most would like too!

One of the benefits, and time consuming, parts of personally picking gifts for the site is finding oh so many unique gifts. Of course the hardest part for me is when I look at fashion (as fashion is my passion) and with Billy’s birthday in mind, well…

I could have hung out in the shoes but though I best move on.

So next I thought maybe a sweater of a jacket.

Then, oh then I found a leather jacket.

You can check out these great gifts at the The Male Room Here

Needless to say I am still out searching for new gifts for The Male Room because I keep finding birthday gift idea for Billy 🙂

I think any of the above gifts your man would love, doesn’t have to be his birthday either!

I remember the first time I asked for a cat – I was not even school age. My Mum told me that I couldn’t have a cat because my Father was allergic to cats. I was so disappointed. I don’t remember if I ‘sulked’ but I probably did.

Not too long after that, I believe it was Christmas, my Mum said to come into the kitchen and see what she got me. She pointed to the floor and there I saw a bowl that said “CAT”. I remember rubbing my eyes, looking up at her and saying something like “I don’t understand”. She then told me to come with her and walked me into her bedroom where there sat my first cat – Katten. (We named him ‘Katten’ because he was too big for a kitten and too small for a cat – my Uncle Jim called him ‘Chicago White Socks’ because be had 3 white paws – the fourth black). Anyways, back to the bowl. That bowl was the sign of my dream coming true! Life isn’t complete without a cat.

A Long Held Tradition With Men And Barbecues

By Jan Carroll

Is your Man a BBQ freak? View 10 plus gifts for them.

Don’t want to read the post?

Jump to BBQ gift ideas

From the first hint of warmer weather to the first snowfall you will find him out in the backyard, or on the balcony, happily cooking up a meal. It’s some sort of primal instinct I think since you are not likely to see them happily cooking away in the kitchen, though of course there are exceptions. What better gift to give your man.

But before I go into that I have a story to tell you.

Our family is no different when it comes to the man at the grill. He happily cooks away day after day, month after month. This particular time it was well into fall but he wasn’t ready to give up his ‘man job’.

So bundled up he headed out to the balcony to fire up the BBQ.

He had to turn the outside light on to see what he was doing, that’s how late in the season it was. I was in the kitchen cutting up onions to put in melted butter to add to our meal. The salad was already done. I popped my head out to check on the progress and got the okay to start frying up the onions. I put them on simmer, grabbed my jacket and went out on the balcony to join my master chef.

As I closed the sliding door I heard a click. It was a click I hadn’t heard before but I didn’t think much of it.

We both hovered around the BBQ as he moved pieces and flipped the sizzling meat. He hovered as he worked, I hovered to try and stay warm. On the last flip I knew it was time to check that the onions would be done to perfection to enhance his meal. I went to open the sliding door and it wouldn’t budge. I tried again, nothing. I turned to Billy and asked him to try it, nothing.

It was locked.

How could it be locked. The only way to lock the sliding door was from the inside. Our cat was the only one inside the house and she may be smart but not that smart. After a lot of ‘how could this happening’ kind of mumblings between us Billy tried to force the sliding door open with a BBQ tool. That opened it a smidge, and I mean a smidge, but we soon realized we could break it if we kept trying.

That mission was aborted.

So here we are on the balcony of the house with the only door to get inside from the balcony locked, and onions frying on the stove with no one tending them. Not a good thing. The balcony on the house had no way down to the yard. I was about 20 feet off the ground. No ladder.

Our sister lived in the basement suite but her car was not there so yelling for her to help would not work.

We could see our neighbors to the right of us and starting yelling at them for help. That wasn’t doing much good because their doors and windows were closed because it was cold outside. So we started yelling and waving our hands in the air hoping to get their attention. I was getting a bit panicked because I knew the onions would soon run out of butter, fire would be next. The chef was none too thrilled his gourmet dinner could be ruined.

I thought of trying to go over the railing and drop to the ground but after a brief consultation that idea was scrapped.

The yelling and arm waving started up again. this time me leaning or the balcony in hope they might see movement, it worked. We finally caught the eye of one of our neighbors. She came out her door and yelled “what’s wrong”. We quickly explained our situation, to our embarrassment I must say.

Her and her husband grabbed their ladder and headed over to our backyard to rescue us.

Thrilled to see this coming to an end it suddenly dawned on me that the front door was locked. We always keep everything locked. That was the only way to get in when we got down. In the few minutes that it took for our neighbors to come around with the ladder we realized we could get down but not in the house.

We were still in trouble.

Once down on the ground I explained to our neighbors the next problem and Sandy said “well just get a key from your sister”, who did have a spare. I frantically told her that my sister wasn’t home, her car wasn’t there. Sandy said they saw her through the window as she walked past.

Hurray, saved again! I knocked on my sisters door, she opened it, I said “no time to explain I need the key to the front door”.

She grabbed a set of keys saying she wasn’t sure which one was the right one and handed them to me. I started to run to the front of the house hoping that the kitchen wasn’t on fire only to find that my master chef had left his keys in the front door (sigh). In I went and pulled the onions off the stove and into the sink with running water.

No fire – no onions. I don’t even remember if we actually ate that night!

The next night it was business as usual with my hubby at the grill. This time we made sure to keep the sliding door open, just slightly. As the neighbors passed in the back lane, out for their evening stroll, they yelled at us “still not ready to give up the BBQ huh.” Not my man!

There is a long held tradition with men and barbecues, as this story shows.

Note: I stand corrected. A visitor stated I did not know the difference between bbq and grilling. Here is a explanation of the difference:

“When you barbecue you are cooking with a slow circumvented unit of hot air with the lid closed. Grilling is done with the lid up and you’re cooking with direct heat on the bottom, instead of all around the source. “You grill a steak and you barbecue a pork butt.”

BBQ Innovations – The Rib-O-Lator

Half Year Birthday Celebration

By Jan Carroll

My birthday doesn’t fall near a major holiday but I remember when I was a young that there were a couple kids I knew that had a birthday the day before Christmas and the other on Christmas day.

They never felt that they really had a birthday.

Sure their parents did a cake and tried to give them a separate present, but with everything that goes over the holidays it just never made the grade.

Billy has an old workmate whose Birthday is December 26th. His wife’s Birthday is December 26th and their oldest son’s Birthday is December 26th!!! He asked them what that is like and his friend pulled a sour face and said it totally sucks, especially for their son.

I started to think about this today, because we are around the 6 month mark before Christmas. So for those who have kids, or actually anyone in their family, who has a birthday so close to Christmas my thought is…

Why not surprise them with a half birthday celebration, an un-birthday!

Now don’t grumble about spoiling them, or cost, because since it is summer time you can find all sorts of great gifts that won’t cost a lot, but will thrill them to bits. Plus with the benefit of summer weather there are more possibilities for great outdoor gift ideas.

Here’s an idea.

How about arranging a BBQ, and let tell the person (or child) about it and that there will be a few friends coming over. It won’t seem strange. You can even do a bit of decorating without it standing out.

Then before the ‘half birthday guest’ arrives at the BBQ you put a few finishing touches up, like a sign that says Happy Birthday (you could put in 1/2 yourself).

See some party ideas here.

Then you can have a present, or two wrapped, or even one special present that is unwrapped with a balloon or two tied to it that will thrill them right away. You could also give them one and then one for the whole family so everyone can enjoy. Don’t forget to have a cake ready for after dinner.

This is a wonderful way to give a birthday party and gift to those that have felt ‘ripped off’ for being born at that time of the year, and trust me, they will never forget it.

Reach Out To Someone This Holiday Season

By Jan Carroll

As the holiday season approaches it is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to it. There are people who have lost loved ones, people who don’t have family so are alone, people struggling to make ends meet, oh so many stressed in so many ways.

This is an important time to reach out to those in your circle that need an act of kindness.

It only takes a bit of time to think of who they might be. If you are not sure think about someone who may has stopped contacting you. Take a few minutes and think about who may have been the life of the party last year but, in fact, you haven’t heard a word from them lately. Think about the person you work with that has been acting agitated or troubled. Just take the time to think about those around you that may not be your family, or even friend, maybe just someone you met – do you see them now?

What can you do to brighten their lives, help them a bit through the holidays. Well in fact it doesn’t take much. Making a phone call might make the world of difference to them. Or sending them a card. You actually don’t have to do much, a small step can make a big difference.

If you want to do something to ease their stress here is a few ideas.

On our site we offer soul soothing gifts. These are gifts to help not matter what time of year it is, but can make a different during the holidays. You can see them here.

Or send them flowers or a plants. We have a great selection flowers and plant gifts here.

We all know that sweets can help our moods, in fact chocolate can stimulate endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure! Check out our sweet gourmet gift selection here.

No matter what, it is so important to reach out to people and let them know you care. Whether it is a gift or simply a kind word
