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. While a few of them gave us specific material items they either enjoyed receiving from their wife or hope to someday, most of the husbands we spoke to said that what they want most for their birthday is either gift experiences or gestures - like cooking his favorite meal or dedicating a day to watching his team play - that don't involve spending loads of money. 

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.
