The Big 3-0!!

The love of my life is getting old. Poor baby will be turning 30 in just under 3 weeks! {Realize I say poor baby because *I'm* not looking forward to turning 30 but he actually is quite excited about it!}. I can't believe we met when he was about to be 24 and the first birthday we celebrated as an actual "couple" was his 25th. Oh I remember that weekend SO well. Best memories ever :) I even remember the gifts I gave him and he loved them! Now it's 5 years later, I know him 100x better and have NO clue what to get him.

I always ask him before a birthday or Christmas what he really wants and not what he NEEDS because I know he doesn't just go buy whatever he's wanting at the moment {unlike his shopaholic fiance} but he makes it so difficult and can never come up with anything. So after much questioning and bugging, this is the grand wish list he finally came back with:

1. A gift card to his favorite book store, Half Price Books

{this one's our favorite location. Picture via}

and

2. A Waterpik. Yes, a Waterpik.

I know what you're thinking...How does she handle such a wild man!

I realize these are things HE wants but really, are they good enough for a 30th Birthday? I mean, the guy has tons of interests: football, basketball, science, working out, traveling...and this is his list?! Oy. We can go to Half Price or get a Waterpik anytime we want, you know? I just want to give him something better. He DESERVES so much better! But I'm stumped. So I have to ask:

What are some presents you've given your significant other?
I don't have tons of money but I'm open to all ideas and I appreciate your help!
