My husband birthday will be next week. Any idea of perfect gift for him? My budget is from 200-$300.

uh... without knowing your husband... suggesting a perfect gift could be tricky...
Why not ask him what he needs and get a gift card or take him out for dinner?
Night at a nice hotel, see a show, go to Ottawa see the tulips, Niagara on the lake + dinner, etc.
Hotwire and priceline right now you can get a 4 star in downtown for $79 or so, hotels are slow this month.

Just some suggestions (of course it will depend on the interests/needs of your husband):
- Something electronic often goes over big (if he doesn't already have it) : perhaps an MP3 player, sub-woofer for the sound system, new stereo receiver, high quality set of computer speakers, new computer monitor (if the old one is outdated), etc.
- leather jacket
- If he's handy, then any tools that he may have mentioned needing: maybe an electric miter saw, circular saw, tile saw, new drill, etc.
- Tickets for 2 with dinner, etc. to a rock concert or sporting event
- Accessories or equipment for any sporting activities he might be engaged in: eg. high-quality paniers for a cyclist, new cross-country skis (on sale right now), kayak accessories, hunting/fishing knife, new driver for golf (or a coupon for one), etc.
- If he is a beer or wine connoisseur, but doesn't usually spend the money on the more exotic stuff, you could get a variety of British/Scottish/German beer for him to sample and maybe some interesting wines. (Makes a good supplement if what you purchased doesn't quite come up to the amount you wanted to spend.)
Then of course, you could mix and match some of the potentially lower cost items from these suggestions to make $200-$300.
Go to Victoria Secret and buy something outrageously red and skimpy $150
Take kids to sitter $50
Make nice supper, bottle of wine. $50
Lock door, Show him your new "ensemble"
Happy Birthday!

Got to hand it to Berubeland. That's perfect. Something else you could do? Show an interest in something he likes. I'm a Husband and a father of two small kids, and my favorite thing (other than Berube's suggestion) is playing video games. Call me a nerd or whatever, but instead of watching tv, I like to play a game. Once in awhile my wife will sit down with me, and play for an hour. Actually try, and actually be engaged. She doesn't like games like I do, but sharing my past-time for an hour with somebody else makes it a great time.
Rowr!!!! but lets see now...that's $50 + $50 + $150 for the Victoria's Secret..$250.....Originally Posted by Berubeland
I'm sure like most husbands after a few years of marriage, those socket wrenches or power washer,
he's seen at Sears would bring a BIGGER smile to his face.
With both wifey and husband working under the car, to fix the broken whatever, that is true love!
