What to get the man who has everything?

DH birthday coming up. We’ve been together for 15 years, he buys everything he ever wants and I’m out of ideas, so hoping someone can inspire me!

He is into fitness (at the gym most days), plays tennis (I feel like he has everything for that but maybe not?), golf (ditto), loves his car (again, got all the wax etc to keep it pristine) and enjoys music and socialising. I have bought an experience for him but he needs a gift or two to open, particularly from the kids. He’s not overly sentimental but has already had the various mugs / key rings etc over the years from them.

he drinks lots of coffee, already has a coffee machine and fancy beans, doesn’t wear jewellery, has lots of toiletries and hasn’t read the books he asked for for Christmas yet!

He doesn't need anything to open he has everything he needs. The kids could make him breakfast in bed and a homemade cake.

Any gym clothes, gloves, water bottles, supplements etc that are running out or getting worn out?

Blue Mountain coffee... or kopi luak if you want an experience.

Any drinks? Selection box of flavours like gins, whisky etc?

Power tools?

I'm the same... if I want it, I buy it... the only thing I'd appreciate are 'upgrades' to things I already have, consumables (food, drink, fuel etc lol), or personal items.

Sounds bad, but one of the best gifts is an escape! If he's a family man, works, looks after the kids etc... a day to relax, i.e. a day when the house is empty, eithout anyone there for 8 hours, or even a weekend, is sooo nice.

Interested in this thread?

Sports socks, nice shower gel for using at the gym, new water bottle. I have similar problems with DH, so it tends to be things that will be consumed or wear out, or experiences.
I also agree with C1N1C, I keep asking my family to do this for me.

Fancy heart rate monitor?

Night away in a hotel for the two of you (couple hours drive) with golf for him / spa for you (Wink) . Nice food . Nice night away.

It's what I get my husband, similar man who doesn't need anything!

Something to put everything in.

When I was a child, there was a shop (Edinburgh Woollen Mill? Tourist tat place?) on Princes Street that had little boxes bearing the label, 'For the man who has everything.' Inside the box was a circle of sheepskin, labelled 'A sheepskin belly-button warmer'.

You could get him one of those.

You're welcome. <bows>

A donation to a charity, sponsor a child in another country, an endangered animal etc. Sounds like he has enough 'stuff'.

Following as in a very similar situation!
