I've got mine a Fitbit Blaze and will get little bits now, couple of jumpers and some aftershave and nice shaving stuff

He's pretty easy to buy for, never treats himself through the year so always wants something when the time comes luckily

DP is getting Lego and a fair amount of it at his request (he is an AFOL), that's pretty much all he actually wants.

He is also getting a couple of nice jumpers, some alcohol, aftershave and something else (just not quite sure what)

Initially I was going to buy him a pair of Louboutin shoes as he's always wanted some and he's had a really terrible year, but they don't do them in a big enough size

Oooh is the Bluetooth speaker a Bose? We love ours!

Thank you for the link, I did search Christmas first but couldn't find it.

Where are you getting the jumpers from Ron if you don't mind my asking? I think I've exhausted most options in previous years!

I am getting DH a new coat and hiking boots, have already got him a watch box, and the skincare line he uses and will do a few more goodies for a stocking and a bottle of Pear Grey Goose.

Gin I had same problem with DH and loubs as he's big-footed! You can get them custom made but of course it's a very pricey option!

He's a 12 user

MrsVan I had looked into that option, maybe next year! Was gutted tho really wanted to treat him to something that he wouldn't have bought himself

Yea Gin definitely a lovely lovely gift but one that might take a little bit of saving up! My DH has size 14 feet and it's a nightmare even getting normal shoes Confused

I had visions of all of these men trying to squeeze into tiny black stilettos with red soles.

Google tells me that they make them for men as well.

Size 14 MsVan! That must take a lot of looking for! I know DP complains he can't get a lot of choice in his size so it must be a nightmare
If I start saving now he should be able to get some made for next year.

A beekeeping lesson and honey beer thing in London to go with his best friend. Waterproof trousers for his scooter, woolly hats, and I got a local professional photographer to do some photos of baby and me (she was doing cheap mini sessions) so will get those printed and framed. And novelty chocolates. Always need some tat :)

A Nintendo classic, tickets to see Still Game (one of those is my gift also) and the usual boxers, socks and lounging trousers. We both have a £100 limit this year to stop it getting a bit ridiculous like previous years.

I'm getting OH some decent headphones and a vinyl record. I want to get him more but am poor and don't know what to get him.

A homebrew starter kit as I make wine and he keeps mumbling about making beer but not doing anything about it. He's dropped some small hints about a PS4 so I suspect our children and his mother will buy him part of that! Then silly things, a chocolate orange, Top Trumps cards etc in a stocking.
