My husband is asking me for birthday present ideas, and while I’ve sent him a couple pieces of better-quality fashion jewelry I like, I’m kind of stumped on what to tell him. I don’t feel like a designer bag or anything in that realm is worth it (I’m very utilitarian and work from home, so I don’t need many options) and we’re all stocked up on things I would want for our house. Any thoughts? What would you ask for if you were me?

We decided not to do gifts anymore but do an experience (preferably together but doesn’t have to be). My last pre-pandemic bday was a cooking class with my SO.
This pandemic bday was a virtual cocktail class.

I got him guitar lessons once, and currently trying to figure out next one 😬
