calledtobehome Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wanted to get my hubby another gift. While I was in the shower I was thinking about the gift and the ideas came to me to buy a NERF GUN. Why not? Both boys (7.5 and 6.5) are getting one and he may just want to join in the fun!

Night Elf Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I think it sounds like a fabulous idea if he actually plays with them. Nerf guns really are fun. I bet the boys would love if their dad had his own gun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My dh loves taking off with one of the boys' Nerf guns and sneaking up on them! :lol: It sounds like a great gift to me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Go for it! :thumbup: The Nerf Maverick is only $8.00 at Walmart stores right now, and it's a great gun. If your dh wants a major tactical advantage in the wars against your sons, he needs the Nerf Stampede ECS. That one was $44 at Walmart the last time I checked. Also, Toys R Us is having a buy one, get one at 50% off sale on Nerf stuff right now. But as always, the TRU prices are usually higher than every other store, so the "discount" may not be worth having to buy two things. Let us know what you get!

Parrothead Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 This is the last thing I have to get for dh. I'm considering getting on for dd too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvenice Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Great idea, but don't forget extra darts. Our boys have several guns but there always seems to be a shortage of darts. The Stampede comes with 100 in some configurations this year, but will set you back $45-50 with all the accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calledtobehome Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Great I'm going for it! I think I'll just get him the maverick with extra darts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Great I'm going for it! I think I'll just get him the maverick with extra darts. Exactly. Do you think Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, or John Wayne went for fancy guns? Simple with lots of bullets is the way to go. :D Go ahead, you'll make his day. :tongue_smilie: Ahhh can you tell it's two days before Christmas? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I always thought the nerf tag game could be....well..used by adults...in an adult capacity...if no kids were home. :leaving: (strip nerf anyone?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my kids (big and small) love Nerf guns. Dh and older nephews, everyone gets into the game. It is a great active play to do when stuck indoors!!!!

MrsBasil Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 As long as you don't mind being a human target for the next 2 weeks go for it! I got my DH and brother one for Christmas last year. They had a blast having Nerf wars and then teamed up to take me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarmom4 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Great idea--he will love it! I gave fil one for his birthday this summer (needed a gift, it was the only thing I had on hand!!!) and was so surprised by his delight. My mil even pouted because she didn't get one. (whole other story, ladies...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I bought my husband and boys all a nerf pistol and we just finished opening presents. They have been having a great time shooting each other. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
