My guy is turning 29 soon, and I want to remind him that he's a child of the 80's, and not almost 30.
What can I give him that is practical, cool, and 80's-themed? I don't want to get him something he's not going to use, like a He-Man action figure. That would be silly.
We've been dating for two months, so nothing overboard, either.
Answer
it's difficult to make the 80's not seem lame. the reason we love the 80's is because they were so lame!
what exactly did he love from the 80s? Get him an A-team dvd or something. I bought my gf a cool staypuffed marshmallow man figure from Ghostbusters because she loved him in the movie and was real sad when they killed him.
You could find out what his favourite 80s shows or movies were (mines Goonies, before you ask) and get him something to do with that

i am a volunteer leader for my husbands military unit. i need to find the supplies for, and pack, christmas gift boxes for all of them. we are planning not to spend over $25 each. does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to go to get this many items? or better yet, what i could put in the boxes? we will make them gender specific. we also want to mix every 20 boxes up so they can mix and match as they desire. thank you
Answer
I'm from a military town and I've been putting together care packages and gifts since 5th grade (so, almost 20 years!) When I went to college I got my sorority sisters involved and tons of places are very generous. Wal-Mart is pretty cool about letting you set up a donation station outside. We actually cut coupons and gave them out to people and asked them if they would buy specific things. We also encouraged people to hit the $5 DVD bins.
