It seems that the older I get the more challenges that I have finding appropriate birthday presents for my friends. Most of us make more money than we did a couple a years ago and if we want something we usually just buy it.

But that doesn’t mean that I still don’t need ideas when it comes to birthday presents. I’ve had a number suggestions that I should be buying gift cards for my friends so that they can pick out their own gifts, but I feel that the gift card shows that I didn’t take the time to find something appropriate for them.

With my best friend Dave’s birthday coming up, I needed to figure something out relatively quickly. I knew that he is a big coffee drinker so I thought that I might get him one of the best coffee makers on the market.

It took me a little while but I was able to find the best coffee maker and the best coffee pot sold together in one set. I bought it and hopefully he needs a new coffee maker, otherwise I don’t know what else to get him.
