Kindle might be a good idea....or maybe a magazine subscription. Something like Time Magazine....

thanks for all the suggestions - some good ones but yet to find that 'eureka' present. Why are the men I know so hard to buy for?

A coffee bean grinder, Bodum one.

Coffee is pretty much the basis for all his presents Grin

Men are hard to buy for!
DH is getting aftershave and then a stocking full of his favourite treats eg. Chocolate, chilli jam, posh marmalade and some interesting beers.
As we had a baby this year both our dads are getting a framed photo of their granddaughter and perhaps a book (bit of a cop out but maternity leave means we are strapped for cash this year!).

DH - never know what to get so I have bought a Badedas (because he loves it) and a bottle cinnamon flavoured vodka that has real edible gold leaf pieces floating about (because it looks fun).

my dad died a few years ago and DH buys for FIL and rest of family so I don't have to worry about anybody else.
