Christmas ideas for the boyfriend who wants nothing

8 replies

I am sure there is a trillion threads alike but ideas would be amazing!

Subject: Male, 24 years old, doesn't have any specific hobbies, likes Liverpool FC, enjoys a beer, normal 24 year old iw ould say.

Situation: We have agreed to prodimantly save our money, and hit the sales after christmas and get majority of our presents for eachother then. But we have set aside £50 (although i know i will go over so £100 really) for presents to open on Christmas day.

I am usually pretty good with ideas but i am stumped - my one idea was to buy Crufts tickets for us both and we are massive dog lovers and i know he would love them but therenot on sale yet and dont know when they will be.

Any ideas on reasonably priced presents that arent clothes?! Help!

A craft beer hamper? Doesn't need to be super expensive, just a gift bag, buy a nice selection from various supermarkets etc and a few bags of posh snacks, maybe a nice glass or tankard?

There's various subscriptions available online, bug they are usually pricey!

He's asked for nothing and you're supposed to be saving your money, so buy him nothing, or at least something that costs far less than £50.

Crufts is a nice idea so why not make that your Christmas present instead of buying something he doesn't want, just for the sake of it?

Maybe look for some interesting beer that is somehow dog related for him to open on Christmas Day?

Thanks for this!

Well its not that he wants nothing as such, its just most the things he wants are new clothes which we have agreed ot go after christmas, but we live together just us two and we love buying for eachother, so Christmas morning would be a bit sad with nothing under the tree!

I do thing a dog related gift is a good idea, he loves our little furry son's so would appreciate that

I’m all about experiences rather than items.

A gift of a nights stay away somewhere nice together?
A Michelin starred restaurant?
Race car track thingy?
Anything that involves a day out or night away basically.

Yes i totally agree, for his birthday in October we stayed away overnight then went to Zipworld in Wales which we bothed loved - thats why im hoping to be able to get some Crufts tickets but i may also see what else there is going on!

Thank you :)

How about drawing a set of vouchers ?

A cup of tea, a lie in, a back rub...

I remember that the "sexual fantasy of your choice" got passed between us again and again for many happy years 😁

What about a anfield(Liverpool ground) stadium tour? Virgin experience days do them
