My Husband Wants An Executive Office Desk For Christmas For Our Home?
I’m not sure if I want to spend that kind of money on a desk that he will never be home for because he is always on the road working. I would rather give him something that he could put to better use. Any ideas?
If you have the opportunity to attend a few auctions in your area, you might be able to get one at a steal.. I’ve bought several (very nice, solid wood) for $5 to $20 at auctions and resold them for much more.. the thing is, most people at an auction just don’t want to deal with a desk.. then you could use the left over money to buy something else that you want to get for him.

if it would make him really really happy and if it wont hurt the family budget that much,why not give him what pleases him.after all he might be giving his best to please the family all year long.life is short lets make it happy i suggest.

Geez, who is this present for?
You are making a problem out of nothing. Buy the guy a desk. It’s a nice piece of furniture.
You sound kind of selfish to me.

Go on your local freecycle or craigslist and post a wanted for an executive desk. No cost other than your time and labor to go and pick it up.

He sounds like he watches too much TV. Get him a wii for a gift, that way you can both benefit from it.

Buy a desk that you like and make yourself right at home with it.
