Share gift ideas for adult men here!

[GreatSoprendo]

I think it's really hard to get great gifts for husbands, male partners, dads, brothers, BILs etc - and I suspect I'm not alone......
How about we share here what we are getting for men, so we have a big list of ideas all in one place?

[GreatSoprendo]

As a start, big successes in our family last year were;

• subscription to Beerbods
  
• Private Eye subscription
  
• hamper of cheeses

[ahbollocks]

It is really tough!

I always think the men's sections for Christmas are pretty dire :(

For dh I am buying the new fifa, another tattoo, paperchase diary and the new given chy aftershave

FIL will get a bottle of château neuf

My uncle a jigsaw puzzle

Bil Scrabble or similar

Totally stumped for my brother and younger BIL.

My dad I usually make a goodie bag of fortnum marmalade, hotel chocolate, new mug etc

These ceefax style mugs are great for any football fans

[RedToothBrush]

I went a bit crackers on another thread a couple of weeks ago here

[winewolfhowls]

My brother liked the wallet ninja I bought for him

[Jackmelad]

There are some really good ideas on the thread linked by Redtoothbrush. I have now finished off my husbands presents, so rather happy about that.

So far, I've bought a box of craft beers from Flavourly (but must remember to cancel membership as I only wanted a one-off with a discount code).

Millennium Falcon Haynes Manual off Amazon for £3.99.

I got one of these Yorkshire Beer Experience sets for Father's Day and may well order for FIL for Xmas: shop.keelhamfarmshop.co.uk/collections/for-him/products/yorkshire-beer-experience

Boden have some nice bits in their Loungewear section for men which work out quite well with the code A2G2 on top (gives extra 20% on top of sale prices, ends tonight).

Saw the following in Waterstones today:New York Times 36hrs in Europe
There is also ones for Asia, North America & South America. Beautiful books, with tabbed pages.

Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: The Atlas of Everything You Never Knew You Needed to Know
Again very beautiful.

Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travelist: The 500 Best Places on the Planet...Ranked

Spooks: The Greater Good

Haynes Manual Make Your Own FM Radio
There is also an Arcade Game to make but I can't find link to it on either waterstones or amazon.

raspberry pi complete starter kit

[Trills]

My brother likes nice aftershave so I got him a set of mini ones last year, so he could try them out and decide which he liked better.

[happsymum]

redtoothbrush you've inspired me to find something like your 36 hr books but on Dubai ( our holiday next year ) . Inspired me on another thread with another suggestion - you are good! :) thanks

[BearFoxBear]

The 36 hours books are stunning, I have a few myself.

Love the private eye subscription, that's BIL sorted :)

[lozengeoflove]

Fancy coffee flask, subscription to a magazine, theatre tickets, whiskey, food hampers.

[CrapBag]

Checking in because I haven't a clue.

DH isn't into clothes, doesn't wear aftershave, doesn't smoke or drink, only hobby is a martial art which I can't buy anything for. Doesn't like fancy food. I'm absolutely stumped this year. I don't think there is an Xbox game he wants at the moment, he has a couple thousand films and I don't want yet more bloody DVDs.

I do like the magazine subscription idea. Need to remember which magazine he very occasionally buys now .

Also need ideas for my dad and step grandad.

[Twolefttoes]

I'm getting dh a keyring engraved with a drawing ds has done, its of a superhero and as he is only 4, its pretty cute.

He is also getting molton brown black pepper things as a treat, instead of the usual supermarket shower gel.

[ApricotSorbet99]

There are some fantastic Lego kits for grown ups....Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower, The White House etc. Think I might get my DP one of those this year....he used to love helping DS make his on Christmas morning when he was little (DS, that is).

One year I got a poker set and some beer & pork scratchings. That went down well.

Also, last year, all the adult males got a Firebox mystery box each. Good fun nit knowing what they'd got until they opened them.

[Sadik]

Inspired by a lovely leather bag linked to on another thread, I'm now bidding on ebay for used vintage leather music bags for choir-going DH.

[FannyFanakapan]

Im thinking of buying DH one of those in-car dashboard cameras. He likes gadgets. And he drives like a maniac.

Otherwise....not a clue.

[FannyFanakapan]

Ive also bought him a T shirt with "Knows chemistry" (pic of breaking bad chap); "knows Physics" (pic of sheldon) "Knows nothing (pic of Jon Snow) - three of his favourite TV shows.

[BayeauxT]

DH sorted after reading this thread - have ordered raspberry pi starter kit and Fanny's T-shirt which he will love - thanks for the great ideas.

[Pointlessfan]

Interesting beers always go down well with my DH but the most successful things I ever got him were a bread making day with a baker and a magazine subscription.
I find my dad really hard to buy for though, he always ends up with whiskey and chocolate.

[Pootles2010]

My dad is getting the Game of Thrones monopoly, thinking of getting DP new Guy Martin book not for me oh no, other than that - I'm stumped!

[NicoleWatterson]

Pistonheads have 15% off with OCTOBER15

Great gifts for petrolheads

[GothicRainbow]

I've started stocking gifts. We don't have big budgets for each other this year but have found some nice PJ bottoms in primark and also a Sons of Anarchy tshirt which I know DH will love. Otherwise I'm abit stumped. He cycles a lot when in London but it's more for his commute so was tempted to get him something for that - maybe a go pro!! He does like a bit of tech.

[MajesticWhine]

For men who like cooking and/or takeways? This book might be fun. Am planning on getting it for DH.

Homemade Takeaways: How to Make Your Favourite Takeaway . . . But Better

[mrslebon]

Another idea for men who cook?
