I have a birthday coming up in two weeks and my fiancé is all over my ass about a present. I have never really been into birthday’s or presents or any of that, so I don’t know what to tell her to get me. I am not really materialistic and don’t really need anything. I digress, she has still demanded I choose something.
The only things I can think of are maybe some more business clothing or possibly the new Asus Transformer Prime android tabloid.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

The Transformer Prime is the first thing that popped into my head, it looks like its going to be pretty awesome
Threesome you idiot.
Maybe your reading comprehension is poor. I said I am engaged. Those dreams died a long time ago.
Ah yea, didn't see the fiance part, definitely don't ask for that then... Ask for something simple like have her wear lingerie and make you breakfast in bed. It's always a good way to start the morning, plus she gets to feel sexy
I'd ask for a threesome, but that's just me. Bespoke shirts are always nice too.
Budget?
...you could always just pick a recurring time slot for the anal night at the Nefarious house.
I want to keep it around $500 because anything more than that is absurd. She is a doctor though so it isn't like she will be scraping change together.
Nice score man.
New briefcase? Burberry has some decent ones if you want classy.
^ haha DM submitted that while I was typing.
I carry my half eaten crayons in mine.
Fuck you. I almost started laughing uncontrollably at work.
Are you a sports fan? Tix to a big game for you and her/you and a friend are what I'd ask for if I was in your shoes.
The hell you're asking people on a public forum about what YOU want.. smh
I don't know what smh means you social reject. Do society a favor and eat a gun.
LOL.
Kindle Fire perhaps?
Maybe she could schedule you for a made to measure suit/shirt fitting. Some services in NY (they've been mentioned here before) will run just slightly over 500 for a full suit.
I live in FL, those aren't really as prominent.
I also have all my suits fitted already and haven't had to wear one to the office in quite some time =\
Skyrim/MW3/BF3?
+1 on the new Kindle fire. I hate it when I have to specify what gift I want. Surprise me. But if this situation presents itself, I usually just take the latest gadget. I'm hoping for the Canon 550D for my birthday/Christmas.
New Nokia Lumia looks pretty sweet if you need a new cellphone.
nice dinner
Aww, I see you're getting married. I say get her to commit to continue BJ's weekly after you get married, and get it in writing!! Best present ever.
a lackey
Why are some off you guys saying kindle fire as opposed to the asus prime?
If you plan on doing more computational intensive things on your tablet, you better get the prime. That thing will be awesome.
just get an iPad and stop messing around
if you want a tablet, pick up the HP Touchpad on eBay for like $150 and make wifey get you something else
If I am going to get a tablet, I want one that will last. Since the primes benchmark are on a different planet from every other tablet on the market, that is the one I would go with.
Android > iOS in a big way all day
I would worry less about specs on a tablet than UI and functionality... for me it's mostly a toy that I use to read news while on the shitter, watch movies / videos, check and write emails, etc

the suitjamas are hilarious
Think about it...you're out one night, have to be in the office early, or over sleep....BOOM! Suit Pajamas.
Can someone please buy them and wear them to an interview.
I just had the same issue.
There isn't a single material thing that I really wanted, but I've been considering taking pilot lessons. My wife went out and got me an intro to flying package where I will learn some of the basics on the ground and get an in-flight lesson and some time in control of the plane. I doubt I'll pursue the full blown pilot training course, but this seems pretty fun.
She got me that and a few smaller items. Overall, I thought she did a pretty good job.
Of course, now there's Christmas in a month and I have no clue what I want again.
Luckily my birthday is in December. I force everyone to combine the gifts so I don't have to keep playing this game.
If you could take a 2-3 week raincheck, this thing looks awesome:

how do you seeing this comparing to the prime?
Well, it has 2GB of RAM vs 1GB on the prime. The Lenovo also has an "optical joystick", which I am guessing will be similar to a BlackBerry's trackpad. However, the Prime has a front facing camera, if that matters to you.
The big plus for the Lenovo is that it has a standard USB port. Want a keyboard? No problem. Also, Lenovo beats the hell out of Asus on build quality. I think they have the lowest failure rate after Apple.
I disagree on build quality. I will only purchase Asus PC's. I have had an Asus Eee netbook for four years so far as a web browsing tool. The thing has been on probably 3.5 out of the four years (as in not shut down, total) and no issues.
Every asus I have had I have found to be superior to anything.
As far as the keyboard, lenovo loses as the asus actually has the keyboard dock with extra battery turning it into a touch capable netbook.
You could say your love is enough of a present.
...and then ask for a threesome.
lol
Tablets are cool...
But you said it yourself your not materialistic, I'd ask for a vacation (if your time allows). Think about it, you get to relax at some exotic local, not worry about work and the daily bullshit of everyday life, plus you get more pussy than if you were at home anyways (Most chicks are like niagara falls at just the thought of a vacation).
one night for you to explore all your sexual fantasies on her and she cannot say no to any of them. Trust me, you will need it, after the wedding you'll be whacking off more than juiced up pimple faced teenager.
"Hey guys what do I want for my birthday?"
Followed by you shooting down everyone's suggestions. Reminds me of shoe shopping with my mom when I was twelve.
This is just dumb.
Ya, shooting down everyone for telling me to ask for blow jobs and anal. I am a retard.
I should have known better than to ask a bunch of college virgins for gift ideas :P
Hey now, I backtracked when I saw she was your fiancee mofo.
How about a tumi bag of some sort?
since you clearly like tech and aren't in an environment where its expected that you spend on appearances too much, have her get your get you a gadget
You clearly prefer android, you can trade off between various tablets on your own. You're in Florida so unless you are an avid skier I'm guessing you have less of a need for vacations than most of us monkeys.
One thing I would suggest is a sick sound system. For the house if you have one or for the car (if you drive). That's a real luxury that I miss now.
some sort of cleaning or maid service?
year sub to brazzers
Satelite radio if you don't already have it. Exponentially improves your commute if you have to drive.
To the OP - why don't you tell your Master to buy herself a new coin purse - a little, tiny one where she can put your balls . . .
MAN UP SON!
If you're so scared of a threesome at least have her buy $500 worth of lingerie and treat you to a whole birthday week you wuss.
Valtrex subscription
What'd you get in the end?
threesome
You got her a threesome...bold.
How do you know that?
because he was there
dun dun dun
How's your fiancé feel about this bromance?
flake and I quickly phased her out
