We asked 20 husbands to name a product they would love to be gifted for a birthday, and the results are a pretty diverse wish list of tech, work out gear, clothes, and toys that can be purchased and gifted at the last minute. Thank goodness for overnight shipping.
Drone
Husband 1: Drones are really affordable birthday gifts right now and easy to order last minute. I would love to bring this on our next vacation and capture amazing videos from the air.

Ultra Light Slim Wallet
Husband 2: No more George Costanza wallets. These are light and slim enough to carry in your front or back pocket. You can find these in travel stores for a last minute birthday purchase, or order online for overnight delivery.

TRX Straps/Pull-up Bar
Husband 3: I don’t really want an expensive gym membership. This is a convenient way to work out at home without cluttering our home with weights and dumbbells. You can order this online at the last minute for a birthday.

Patagonia Jacket
Husband 4: Patagonia jackets are stylish, warm, and well made. I want a versatile jacket with plenty of pockets and storage. They are not inexpensive but you know you are investing in a high quality jacket that will last a long time. You can easily find these at the mall or at sporting goods stores at the last minute for a welcome birthday surprise.

Laptop Stand
Husband 5: This stand is ergonomic and clears up much needed space on your desk. It moves the screen up to your eye level so you aren’t hunched over while working.

Arcade Games System (Pandora’s Box)
Husband 6: This arcade system brings all the classic arcade games and experiences into your home. Dads and kids will all enjoy this birthday gift, and you can get last minute delivery online.

Bose Headphones

Wireless Earbuds or Airpods
Husband 8: Wireless earbuds are more expensive but they are so portable and convenient. Some people say you look weird wearing Airpods but they don’t know what they’re missing. You can find these at the last minute at the Apple Store, Target or Walmart, electronics stores, office supply stores, or online.

Lightning HDMI cable

Salt Gun to Shoot Flies
Husband 14: Heard about this awesome Bug-A-Salt gun and wanted it immediately. Get rid of flies and bugs with endless ammunition. It’s so fun that Amazon won’t even ship this toy to California or New York. If you don’t live in those states, this is a great adult toy that can be delivered at the last minute.

Ostrich Pillow
