The Blonde Diaries

I am always looking for a unique idea for a Father’s Day gift or male birthday gift. I hate the standard of giving shirts or ties. Nothing against those that do but I just don’t feel like it is personal enough and similar to giving a female socks and underwear. Just not my thing.

So this year, I have my father leaving for England and my mom mentioned a photo of the family and I mentioned a digital frame for it so that seems like a good choice. Now I have Mike’s birthday to figure out. With our upcoming wedding, we decided no major/expensive gifts this year for birthdays or Christmas so I really really need to find something unique and special and budget friendly. I started thinking of everything we like and came up with a theme: Mixed Martial Arts – you know UFC! Mike and I just happened to be at our local Buffalo Wild Wings a few years ago on the night of a fight and decided to stick around to watch it and boy did I get hooked. I love UFC and so does Mike. So on my search today I found some MMA Gear that would work well -> Tap Out board shorts and a book about the UFC fighting style written by BJ Penn (one of my favs) that I thought Mike would like to flip through. The best part is both items would be under $80 and would be a unique gift! I’m super excited so I hope it goes over well. I have 1 month till I find out.
