Presnet ideas for DH - who has everything!

[Overseasmom100]

So we dont really buy big stuff but this year I cant think of anything to get him! Ive asked him and he said he cant think of anything...HELP!!!!

He has enough toiletries, socks, pants etc....

Cinema tickets or a meal out?

We only go the the cinema when there is something on we want to see and usually use Meercat.

A few ideas I had for my similarly inclined DH:

Rocketbook everlast notebook
Ember mug
Electric paint circuit kit
Magnetic knife rack
Fancy knife

thank you, come lovely ideas but not for him sadly...he's very difficult!!

What I have bought :
Dr marten Boots
Aftershave
Electronic item
Jacket
Hobby item
There is something else I bought but I can't remember what or where it is!!!

In the past I bought DH a lock picking kit. It wasn't expensive, about £15 from memory, but kept him good for hours.

I bought mine tickets to see Hawkwind this year as he has everything but likes live gigs im the one who when he asked what do you want for Christmas went omg I don't know don't need anything or want anything

I've bought:
Cooking lesson
Helicopter ride
A subscription to a car valet company
Boss dressing gown
Trainers
Theatre vouchers

I'v have bought a swivel table vice.
Don't ask, I haven't a clue, it is what he wanted.

trouble is it only cost £20 so it is hardly breaking the bank.

He also has a new tape measure and a book.

really going overboard chez nous this year!

Escape room voucher?
Couple of nights away in a nice hotel?
Coffee machine?

Make a donation to an animal charity - adopt a horse or donkey rather than buying 'something' for the sake of it.

Just ordered dh roadscents- super posh car airfresheners that supposedly smell nice and not artificial.
Thermal Henley top.
A few years I have got him desk toy gasket type things.

Afternoon tea?

i've got DH an iphone cover with a photo of him and the DC on holiday.

Also some clothes for his various sports.

I'm most chuffed with junglespeed (the game). Can't wait for us all to play it.

Tickets to a gig or show?
Super car experience

Does he drink whisky? He might like one of those fancy whisky experience sets you can get...

Never heard of Jungle Speed but it looks good. 🙂

I paid for DH to drive a tank one year, he enjoyed that.

Ah some fabulous ideas here but none would suit him I dont think. He likes Gin so may get him something ginny

Just about the only successful presents I've bought my DH have been to do with making coffee - fancy grinder, aeropress, stuff like that. I've also toyed with the idea of a subscription coffee club where you have some coffee sent each month, but I'm saving that for when I'm really desperate. Maybe there are gin subscriptions?

Hori hori knife if he's a gardener?
Leather touchscreen gloves?
Cotswold gin do a nice gift set with glasses. (best gin by a mile if you ask me)
Steak stone?

I was going to suggest an experience or concert tickets. Or look at charities such as Oxfam where you can pay for a field of crops, a goat etc etc.

Things I've bought my similarly annoying to buy for DH
Food - cheese hamper - chocolate & lots and lots of cola bottles
Booze - beers he likes, whisky
Books - things he wouldn't think to buy for himself but has ultimately liked reading
Comedy gig tickets tucked in a book by the comedian we went to see
Theatre tickets
Fancy headphones
Jumpers
Gardening stuff
New leather work bag
New wallet

God, watching with desperate interest. I think I must be seeing your DH’s doppelgänger because he’s exactly the same. Doesn’t particularly like “stuff” or “experiences”, very picky about what he wears, and we’re also fortunate enough to have good incomes so anything he does actually ever decide he wants he just buys for himself there and then.

For his birthday I bought him a huge Serrano ham with stand and knife, he liked that. In the past I’ve bought a wanky artistic desk lamp for his home office, a really lavish wool dressing gown and got an artist friend to paint his portrait, he quite liked those but they’re one-offs. One year I signed us both up to run a two-day mountain ultramarathon with wild camping: neither of us liked that much but it gave us something to bitch about in the lead up and some hindsight good stories.

At this rate he’s getting a gram of cocaine and a threesome with my best friend, I am all out of sensible.

Do you have to get him something? For years now DH and I have picked out something for our home and said we're buying it for each other.

We've been trying to get our new bathroom fitted for about 10 months and it's happening right now so this year that's what we are claiming as our gift to each other! Last year was a painting by a local artist.

We don't really do presents, I'll buy him bits like smellies, deodorant, hair gel etc for a stocking, but we tend to wait until the new year then book a day out or something. This year we are going to buy tickets to go and see Book of Mormon and have a meal out in London.
