What do husbands want most for their birthday?

We crowdsource ideas and answers from husbands directly for this gift guide and got a glimpse into their most desired birthday presents.

But, if you want to surprise your hubby with a gift they can unwrap, each husband we spoke to mentioned wanting the same useful gifts they can use every day, such as cologne, a water bottle, a weekender or a small bag to store his daily essentials, clothes, and shoes.
