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

inept ocular Grin love the phone typos.

Tickets, and depending where & when the event is, dinner and a night in a hotel too!

And socks, obviously.
And a bottle of whiskey.

Mcchristmaspants - I really wish we did this, but DH even when he has said ok will get me something, so not risking that again

Inept ocular = inpeticular! Silly phone

My DH likes watches, but havnt found anything nice in my price bracket.
He also is keen photographer, but the lense he wants is £400.

A ride in a Lancaster bomber along a runway. I admit that is quite an eclectic choice but he will love it

I have brought dh a Sodastream, he always wanted one as a kid and never got one and he is forever moaning 'there is nothing to drink in this house'

I am hoping to both delight and silence Grin

A onesie. Hopefully a monkey one if I can find one! (and then maybe a matching one for the baby too!)
