My DH is hard to buy for (at the amount of money I have to spend anyway)
What are you gorging for yours?
I need inspiration as he is one of these guys who has everything and doesn't want anything inept ocular, but goes to great lengths to get me something nice

Well my ex-DP would have been getting something very expensive and useless at his request, so now I'm single again I decided to treat myself to a fancy gadget instead. Sorry, I know this isn't helpful at all, just massively chuffed that I'm saving a fortune this year! 
I'd recommend Firebox for cool things anyway, it's my personal heaven. Or truffleshuffle!

OMG I never heard of firebox and now I NEED one of these ^^
Wonder if I can persuade someone to buy me one lol - better keep off that site!
Jeans, a couple of merino baselayer tees, Joop Homme Wild, lots of ale, some bits of camping gear he wants, socks, pants and the what.
Nothing exciting but he'll be pleased. He had a Kindle last year that he still adores. Might get him an Amazon voucher to buy some new books for it.

Latest Assassins Creed and some luscious Sheridan Bath Sheets.
We are also getting some new xbox remotes, but that is a joint family present.

nokidshere that clock is amazing! I swear if I had unlimited funds I would buy out the entire stock! I also really LOVE the tent in the shape of a slice of watermelon, but unfortunately it's £495, and not Summer.

Buy out the entire stock of the whole site I meant of course. Not purchase 500 odd clocks!
I don't know if it's still there but there's also a really cool mug in the shape of a camera lens, and not too pricey. Perfect if your DP/DH is into photography and cups of tea. I also like the weird foodstuffs they stock, like chilli flavoured sweets and 'space food'

Camera lens mug
okay it's £14.99 so not that cheap. I'm sure it was less before. Maybe more due to pre-xmas price hike! Still very quirky though!
Haven't a clue tbh - I can afford a tenner at most. Any ideas?
A claymore sword 
god knows why. I worry about him

An iPad.. We agreed a budget of £100 for christmas gifts, however we also agreed a budget for this years wedding anniversary present. I got him a lovely photography book, he got me a very expensive bracelet. Last year I got him a not hugely expensive jacket he asked for, he got me a mulberry handbag. The arse. I'm not being the person who sticks to the budget this year (besides, I want an iPad too).

We don´t do presents either unless either of us particularly wants something.
I got a Kindle last year-he got nothing.

Xbox live subscription. Probably some big bang theory dvd's and Gaslight Anthem cd
There is only 6 weeks between his birthday and christmas which can be a pain. Lots of xbox gamed out this year though that he likes.
If GTAV was an option how about Assisins Creed 3, Lego LOtR is also out before christmas. Or Halo 4.

Steel toe capped boots. Speakers for his computer and the qi fact book. Not a very exciting list!

I haven't a clue, he literally has everything. I will get him some nice aftershave but will use this thread for ideas

Dh and I never buy for each other at Xmas, we have a day shopping at the sales in January.

I have bought a couple of cheap ring-binders and 150 plastic pouch/pages for inside. I am going to secretly take my DH's massive untidy pile of guitar music, put it all in alphabetical order and put each one into a plastic pouch and clip them all neatly in the ring-binders. He will be able to find any song he wants in seconds and yes he really will be happy with this present.

So far I've got some Bond Girl Top Trumps for his stocking.
I need inspiration too.
Fortunately the DC's are getting old enough to have some good ideas sometimes.
