Gift ideas for DH

Looking for inspiration!

He doesn't drink alcohol or enjoy fancy foods particularly.
Doesn't have any sporting hobbies.
Wouldn't like an event ticket or a hot air balloon ride type gift.
We aren't going on holiday anywhere.

His birthday and our wedding anniversary are within days of each other and this year I'm stumped! So far I've bought:

A new mug
A new Apple Watch strap.

What does he enjoy? What's your budget?

The best gardeners gifts I've bought are from niwaki. The hori hori is the best tool ever.

Would he like a projector? My DH loves his. It was only a cheaper end of the scale one at £140 but he's watched the football, the cricket and movies on it.

Would he like some fancy trainers? Other items of clothing?

Cab you upgrade something he already owns? That's usually a popular suggestion on here.

Boring stuff like aftershave, beard oil, moisturiser?

An upgraded radio for his car? An echo show? Earphones? Wallet? Cashmere socks? Books?

He does enjoy gardening actually so perhaps I can get him some kind of new tool!

I was thinking of a new wallet or card holder, perhaps a designer one as we haven't needed to budget for going abroad.

Check out Niwaki. There's a golden spade which looks great, but I have given 5 hori horis now and everyone has said they can't believe they used to garden without one. My DH also really rates their gloves too.

Interested in this thread?

Something for the garden - ornament, bird feeder, chairs etc.
My Dh has expressed an interest in a telescope … could do some astronomy books as a gift one day followed by a scope for the next big day.

Thank you. I have ordered a hoki hoki for my DH. I’m also giving him the Tim Harford book Making The World Add Up and turning the glut of gooseberries on his beloved bush into jam.
