Experiences

My husband and I try to give experiences for birthdays - not just traditional gifts.  However, we don't usually just get a gift certificate we actually do the experiences on the day.  For example, one year, he took me to the M's game and made an appointment for me to get a massage - he didn't just get me a massage gift certificate.

I took him on the Rides the Duck tour in Seattle and took him hiking.  Both things he loved.

Take a tour in your city, go to a sporting event, take a day trip to somewhere you've never been or somewhere you have been a million times and do something new.  Do some research into the "experience" to make it more fun and meaningful.  Maybe there is a great Italian place and they love Italian food.

Enjoy the experience - these are usually better than traditional gifts!
