Can you say what you're giving your partner for Christmas 🎄🎁?

[RememberBeKindWithKaren]

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 :)

Dh was wanting a specific drum and found one on eBay for a lot less than they sell new (£1500). He’s been trying to raise money selling his other kit in order to buy it before someone else buys it. Imagine his disappointment when it suddenly was sold. He keeps going on about it and how he missed out on it.

I’m the buyer…

That is so lovely! I bet you can’t wait to see the look on his face on Christmas Day.

Brilliant. That will be a lovely surprise for him.

Wool jacket from Fairfax and Favour.

I couldn’t afford anything for DH’s birthday so will spend more than usual on his Christmas present. So far he has a pair of boots from Next. Also going to get him some slippers & he has asked for pants! Probably get some Zero Peroni too.

Kids crazy golf set as we all like crazy golf 😆
Tfl game as it was 2 for £20 with the above
Case of beer as I got a 'free trial' from beer 52 and only had to pay postage
Book on games you can play with your kids while lying down

I did ask for ideas but got a lot of 'I don't know' 🤷‍♀️

I’m going to pay for a tattoo as we’re short on space and neither of us need any ‘stuff’.

• Two new pairs of shoes as he lives in the same ratty black trainers every day
• A 2026 diary (something he asked for)
• Some socks in the vain hope he'll replace some of the holey monstrosities he's had since he was 16
• A couple of books
• A new shaving brush and soap set
• Some new tops

I'll probably also get him a bottle of rum and a game he's been coveting but I'm waiting for that to go down in the steam sale.

It’s a chisel…A very nice chisel with a shiny wooden handle used for wood turning. He was v interested in it in a shop so I went back for it. Man cave stuff.

He chose a star wars inspired artwork, I have also got him a Masonic puzzle book. A pair of best husband ever socks, a masonic rubber duck and a 'i have a spreadsheet for that' mug to go in his stocking.

Tickets to see a comedian

Mine is getting rum, a new rucksack, homemade pyjamas, new shirts and some fancy chocolate

Lots of hardback books!

I did the same last year. Like me, he loves reading, but not always the same books as me. I searched carefully for books similar to ones he prefers, by googling “books like (title he has)” and reading lots of reviews and he loved all those I chose last year. Hopefully it will be the same this year.
