a watch (if he had a hard time coming on time to seder)
why not wait and see what he gives you so you can have an idea

a nice article of clothing

a sefer of some sort that he doesn't have probably a chitas

actually, i can't remember a time in the whole year that he came late, and yes, he already has a watch.

maybe a leather siddur with name on it. how does that sound?

It's nice, he dosen't have a siddur already?

Cholentfresser · « **Reply #65 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:57:12 PM »

he has an old leather chitas in his tefillin bag, someone must've got it for him at his bar mitzvah. i don't think he has a leather sidder tho.

Is it common for chavrusas to buy each other gifts?

I figured i wouldn't start a new thread, and just put it here.

I'm looking for ideas of a present i can get for a chavrusa. around 50 or 60 dollars.

If he was always late for seder, buy him a watch

But seriously, a watch, pen, lighter (if he smokes), cuff-links might work. Or if he's the studious type, buy him some seforim.

It is my husband's 30th birthday next week and I would like to get him a nice gift. My only requirement is that it not be too expensive. He is not too "into" technology (hence me being on DDF).

Any ideas? TIA!

Okay, I read through the whole thing, but being that
a. he doesn't like technology
b. he isn't into wine
c. def. doesn't need a sefer

There wasn't too many ideas. Come on men - what would you like for your 30th bday? I know what I would want

Instead of telling us what he doesn't like, maybe tell us what he does like. It'll be a lot more useful.

Chayenu just sent an email that they are having a sale on a yearly subscription to chayenu for $99, instead of the usual $130, makes a nice gift. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=TImHJhG0gVEVu5HsJ2w-nonQbvnz3IPAq5ThXpPKM7eTpM74b8eq2yKRmSi&dispatch=50a222a57771920b6a3d7b606239e4d529b525e0b7e69bf0224adecfb0124e9b61f737ba21b0819882a9058c69cf92dcdac469a145272506

My aunt is doing us a huge favor (worth multiple thousands of dollars) and not charging us for it. I am looking to buy her a gift-$500-$1000. She is really off the beaten path (think non matching socks).
Any ideas are appreciated.

taking a random thought here, but maybe something like a roomba? I heard they actually work, and are quite cool.
