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 :)

Something cycling or running related, I think. The reason I don't actually know is that he's bought some stuff and given it to me to wrap up and put under the tree. In fairness, I do the same for him, and there's a nice handbag coming my way.

Warcraft expansion and a new iPad because his went missing just before his stroke a few weeks back. Wanted him to have a way to read his manga again to help him reconnect with the stuff he loved before the stroke. Considering some PT sessions at the local gym as well as a ‘daddy present’ from our newborn. Definitely a very different Christmas from the one we were planning just a few weeks back but will still be lovely!

I've bought mine:
A bike computer.
A book about endurance training for men no longer in their prime.
Some nice merino cycling socks.
A new bell for his bike.
Shaving cream from l'occitane.

Mine asked for 2 more wildlife cameras to go with the 3 we already have! We only have a small garden but it has fields on 2 sides and we get a lot of wildlife visiting. Mainly badgers and foxes, but we have had deer as well.

He also has some coal (chocolate covered honeycomb pieces) for his stocking.... Stay home husband who has done no cleaning this week so is in my bad book!!!

May i recommwnd some waterproof socks? My OH works outside and i bought him a pair from amazon and he loves them. Literally never off his feet! I had to buy another 3 pairs so i could wash them! They cant be tumble dried.

Calliekins · 06/12/2025 19:04

Why are men generally so hard to buy for? So far I've got my hubby some Cornish whisky (where we are from), board game which actually does sound fun, some odd ball boxers, chocolate and I'm giving him as his main present an "experience ". He has a birthday 22 November so he had new boots and some bits and bobs then. I run out of ideas!

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…

I love this (fellow wife - possibly hope I've not offended if not - of a drummer here!)

Xanadu58 · 06/12/2025 19:22

A dressing gown , slippers , molton brown soap and a rucksack.
