I'm officially out of ideas. If anyone feels up to telling me what they've got , or getting for the man in their life that would be grand.
Humongous thanks in advance :)

A recipe book on pies & pasties, and some pie tins! Also a massive block of chocolate

He’s recently taken up bowling so I’m getting him a bag for his bowls and shoes. Nothing exciting but it’s what he’s asked for!

Headphones
Aftershave (Burberry Hero)

Some skin care products
A heated jacket
Possibly a lego set

It's his birthday a few days before Christmas so need to have a few things.

AhBiscuits · 06/12/2025 06:49

A cheese and crackers subscription.
Rechargeable hand warmers. He always has ice cold hands and he can pop them in his pockets when he goes to the football.
A book.

Lookingforwardto2025 · 06/12/2025 07:03

Pair of boots
Pair of slippers
Leather washbag
Boxers
Socks
Desk tidy

Looks so boring but is all stuff he wants.

Loop earplugs to help him sleep (new house noisier than old one)
Big bar of chocolate
Fancy coffee beans

Ralph Lauren knitted sweater (hugely discounted);
Car scents with family photos on them (cheap on Amazon);
A bottle of single malt whiskey; and
Christmas tree decoration from the Christmas market with a black pug (our dog) and his name written underneath.

Now you've made me go and google twinning toilets! What a brilliant charity! I love a person who could get so interested in toilets that they'll read ( or write!) a book about them.

Ps what is the book please @DeQuin?

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 06/12/2025 07:12

A three in one charger thing for his watch/iphone/airpods
some nice quality plain T-shirts from Cos
Trainers
Paella pan
cook book

Nothing very exciting but I think he’ll like them all!

DeQuin · 06/12/2025 07:17

@WinterFrogs Lonely planet toilets of the world 😀

WinterFrogs · 06/12/2025 07:32

Wonderful, thank you! @DeQuin
I was about to order for DH, then I thought, I'm the one who would like a twinned toilet and a book about toilets, so that's what I will ask him for 😆

gamerchick · 06/12/2025 07:34

What he asked for, which was a task and a half! Like they have all year to come up with something. Especially when they can just buy their own stuff. That's when they end up with a pile of socks to last for months.

Maybe it would be easier if you told us what he likes and maybe someone can have some inspiration.

TitanicWasAGreatMovie · 06/12/2025 08:36

A nice jumper
A voucher for a simulator helicopter pilot experience thing (he asked for it)

Shoxfordian · 06/12/2025 08:40

Love the twinned toilets

So far my dh has a jacket and some pyjamas but I will get a couple more things too

DeftGoldHedgehog · 06/12/2025 08:42

Personal trainer sessions, then some other bits - Toblerone will be one.

girdlehurdle · 06/12/2025 08:42

Trainers
Few pieces of knitwear
Tracksuit to wear when he takes DS to football as he always throws on random stuff that doesn’t match 😂
The new Jack Reacher book

I also do a stocking and was going to put some spicy sausage in there and probably socks and pants

I might get him a new Gucci tie and then he’ll be finished. I got him one at Bicester about 5 years ago now and he turned his nose up but he always pulls it out for client meetings and it looks so smart (it’s a subtle pattern, not Gucci written all over ir or anything!)

Can highly recommend the Prada Paradigme aftershave, he got it for his birthday a few months ago and it’s absolutely gorgeous. They do a mini one for about £30 which I’ve bought my nephew for his gym bag

GRCP · 06/12/2025 08:42

A fleece, a bottle of nice vanilla vodka, some books, trainers, fragrance

falalalalalalalallama · 06/12/2025 08:45

A jacket (TK Maxx, £400 reduced to £80, and exactly what he wants, bargain!)
Books
Nice shirt
Socks
Probably some bits and bobs for the kitchen as he loves cooking.

Toooldtopretend · 06/12/2025 08:47

A Sage coffee machine and a night away and dinner at a gastro pub that was on The Trip (he’s a Steve Coogan fan), plus some other little bits just to open (charger lead, body wash etc)
