OT/ Gift idea for a guy?

deleted_user

Can you guys help me out with a perfect gift for a guy that I'm trying to make fall in love with me again? Yeah, yeah - I know I cant save a marriage alone, but I sure as heck will try.
I need one perfect gift that is something I can casually give to him as a friend and say - Hey honey, I found/saw this and just HAD to buy it for you.
Not too expensive, $0 > $200.

He: Proud to be Engineer, late thirties, loves sailing and his 25' Catalina - dreams of upgrading to new larger boat and sail overseas. Likes country music, buying new cars and travels a lot for work.

So I've been searchin E-bay in 3 countries for something connected to sailing - with no luck so far. Anyone else that can give me an idea what to look for?

Save your money.. material possessions won't win a guy back.. try writing him a heartfelt letter and just giving it to him... or make a collague of his favorite pictures.. or a cd of amazing songs... these thoughtful gifts will have a far greater impact that monetary one...

Since he likes sailing so much, what about getting him one of those REALLY nice sailboats in one of the glass bottles?

There has been too much letters- no more obvious pushing. It has to be casual and funny or special - he needs to believe it's given from a good friend and not a clingy wife. Cant be something that took me hours to do for that reason.
Sailboat in bottle could have been it if I had found a rare or special one.

I think you are deluding yourself. nothing you can buy will "win " him back..

Men please comment.

Never mind the story behind, I have my own agenda and this is just a small part of it. Just looking for a gift idea.

Buy your self a rain coat and show up at his place in just it. No trying to be crude but I am a guy and I would remember that many, many years.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
