What do you get a husband who has everything for Christmas?

Quick answer

Something he cannot buy himself: his own trading card. Put a photo of him at his rec league game, on the golf course or at the grill on the front, and stats only you know on the back, like "Remotes lost: 14". It is $17.99 in a magnetic display case, or $39.99 sealed in a graded-style slab.

Key takeaways

  1. A husband who has everything does not have a trading card of himself.
  2. The back is where it gets personal: real stats from your life together, written with a straight face.
  3. The Slab ($39.99) makes it look like a graded card, and a MEGA print ($49.99) makes it wall art.
  4. The same idea works for a dad who has everything, with the kids writing the stats.

Why it works when he has everything

A man who has everything buys what he wants the moment he wants it. What he cannot buy is something made about him. A card of him at the thing he loves, with your inside jokes as the stats, is a laugh on Christmas morning and a keepsake after.

Stat lines that land

Write the back like a real stat sheet:

  • "Remotes lost: 14. Remotes found: 0"
  • "Steaks grilled: 212. Steaks called perfect: 212"
  • "Dad jokes per day: 9. Laughs: 1"
  • "Position: Couch. Specialty: Napping in the second half"

Pick his card

Choose the photo that is most him:

  • His rec league or company softball game
  • A golf, fishing or hunting photo, as his rookie season
  • An old photo from his high school team
  • The kids' favorite photo of him, with their stats about Dad

Price and timing

One card is $17.99, and The Slab is $39.99. US standard shipping costs $5 below a $30 order and nothing on orders of $30 or more. For Christmas, order by Monday, December 14 with standard shipping; it is expected by Wednesday, December 23.

Questions

More questions

What do you get a dad who has everything?

His own card, with the kids writing the stats on the back, like "Bedtime stories read: 1,400". Two cards are $21.99 if each kid wants to make one.

Is this a good gift for a husband who likes sports?

Yes, especially if he collects cards or still plays. Put him on a card styled like the ones he grew up with, number it 1/1 and set it in The Slab.

What if he does not play any sport?

Make the card about what he loves: the grill, the garage, the fishing boat or his fantasy league. Any photo can be a card.

Can I make it funny?

Yes. Keep the front straight and put the joke on the back. The funny gag gift answer has more stat-line ideas.
