What does Dh want for his birthday?

37 replies

Please please please need ideas!

He's turning 51 so not a significant one. Past presents that were a success include ipad, nice speakers, ugg sleepers. Best one was a trip abroad but because of Covid I'm ruling out restaurants and hotels.

He likes electronic stuff but has all he needs I think. Has an apple watch. Doesn't need a new phone. Has the speakers. Hates Alexa. Got a kindle before and ignored it.

Hobbies wise, he's pretty boring. Likes football but not enough to watch every week. Likes to read and is really into economics and politics. Maybe a magazine subscription? Likes good dark chocolate - a taster subscription? any recommendations?

Heeeelp!! :-)

Ive managed to find a lot of random things on Firebox that have worked. Not mega expensive or useful but they seem to have a lot of bits that fit our 'in jokes'

Thanks! Will check out Firebox, hadn't heard of them before.

Did / does he like Lego?
My dp loves star wars so this year I got him a lego Yoda. He was really chuffed.

Interested in this thread?

Beer 52 subscription. My DH has it every year. Beers from all over the world, stuff he wouldn't usually have access to or try. Comes with a mag every month to tell you about the beers. DH loves it. Well worth it.

Ear pods if he doesn't have some already?

360 degree camera.

Ask him? I don't know what DH wants for his 41st in October so I'll ask him. As will his parents and sister.

He has fancy headphones already.
I have asked, he always says nothing! He'll be offended if it's not s surprise as well or if it's a voucher. It's impossible Sad

I always get beer52 for Christmas. Also I can't stand their harassing marketing and have decided not to buy from them again. Even yesterday they called me after I emailed them saying they weren't to contact me again and should delete my contact details!

I'll have a look at a camera 😊

My DH bought himself a camera a few years ago a canon SLR digital. He loves it and helpfully always needs accessories! He also always says he doesn't want anything which is unhelpful as I know he does want something nice. I am a nice person who maintains a Pinterest present ideas list!

DH is also impossible. He has appreciated subscriptions to Stuff Magazine and National Geographic, a tiny but super powerful keyring torch and a tiny sharp keyring folding knife from Spyderco.
