I am running out of ideas.
I already got him shirts, sweaters, chocolate, wine, nice after shave for Christmas.

Doesn't like games, drones. Last year got him drones, cooking/travelling books, only used it once.
He likes music, travelling, cooking (Italian mainly), dogs, stationary.

We are in early 40s, live in C. London.

He drives long distance to work and tends to get stressed easily.

Any suggestions? Budget is 200-300.

Many many thanks :)

I sent mine in a pasta making course a few years back in Marylebone. He loved it.

Think it was here:

If he likes gin I took my DH to the Ginstitute in Portobello road and blended our own gin, you can reorder as well as they keep your blend on record

A good pair of wireless bluetooth headphones for listening to music etc
A subscription to Audible so he can listen to books on his long commute. My DS wouldn't be without his, he finds it very relaxing.
Cashmere scarf.

Thanks everyone.

I really like gin idea but his new year's resolution is no alcohol for this month. I will keep details saved for another time. He already has bluetooth headphones. I will check pasta making classes.

Random but I am buying my dh a terrarium. Really nice ones are about £50-100 depending on size. But my dh likes gardening stuff so maybe a bit niche...

Thanks ItsNice I like the idea of terrarium. I remember dh wanting plants for his office.
Where are you buying yours?

I got this one from Made. Not too pricey!

I was planning to do some research on online botany/gardening sites and if family ask for ideas, suggest a gift voucher for there so he can buy the stones/plants to put in it, otherwise I imagine you can spend a fair amount buying things to fill it with.
