Nothing. We are having a childfree day on the 29th to chill and have lunch instead. I feel like I never bloody see him so that's present enough.

A beautiful leather belt, which I hope he'll like, as it is too beautiful Grin

spinny light thing for the garden, food processor and master chef cook boooks

ViviPrudolf · 21/12/2011 09:45

Owl handling day sounds awesome , herbie

tardisjumper · 21/12/2011 09:47

DP - Glenlivit whiskey, complete works of shakespeare, slippers, men's perfume stuff
Mum - JL vouchers as she has lost lots of weight and wants new clothes
Dad - Ipad app voucher
DSIS1 - electric whisk (she asked for it!)
DSIS2 - vintage style owl cushion
DFILS - selection of posh spice mixes

Writing it out makes it sound ridiculously middle class, which is good as I have been having a flap about whether or not it is generous enough!

OldGreyWassailTest · 21/12/2011 09:58

A boxed DVD set, a greenhouse watering kit, 5 second-hand books (can't get them new any more), special cheese.

ViviPrudolf · 21/12/2011 09:59

Mmmm. How special is the special cheese, OldGrey?

NeuromanticisedVisionsofXmas · 21/12/2011 10:06

I'm getting them a signpost to CHAT. Or Christmas.

MabliD · 21/12/2011 10:48

Electric razor (he's had his since he was 16. He's 31, and it's seen better days.), Stephen Ambrose books, X-Men cartoon Dvds, handwarmers for fishing, some smellies, trainers and a leather camera case. I always go overboard on him, this is quite restrained as DD is due in three weeks! Brought what I could from Boots with points though, so not blown budget too horrifically.

DoesNotGiveAFig · 21/12/2011 11:00

A shirt (he wants shirts), his fave shower gel x many so he doesn't need to buy any for next year, a new dressing gown that is warm (which I gave him already) as his old one is a bit thin.

So practical.

DoesNotGiveAFig · 21/12/2011 11:01

Oh, and choc coins. It isn't xmas without choc coins. TO ensure I also get some, I bought my own and gave them to him to give to me. [control freak]

Tigerstripes · 21/12/2011 11:02

For DH: ps3 (also for his birthday which was in July as webbed no money then), batman ps3 game, senna blu ray, Nike exercise shirt.
DSis: leopard print shirt, reindeer all-in-one babygrow type thingy (she is 25 but will LOVE this!).
I want an owl handling day!

Hulababy · 21/12/2011 11:03

Have so far bought him some shoes. Have ordered and hoping they will be delivered: shirt, book and a PS game. And DD has chosen/helped buy him a new dressing gown and slippers.

TheRealMrsHannigan · 21/12/2011 11:03

I've got DH a Gap jumper, a pair of jeans, the Micky Flanagan dvd, a razorpit thingy, magic touch screen gloves, new dressing gown and some chocolate.

Ephiny · 21/12/2011 11:06

I got him some warm pyjamas, but have given them to him already - didn't see the point of him being cold at night for 3 weeks just so he could receive them on the correct day!

DoesNotGiveAFig · 21/12/2011 11:10

Thank you to the Senna DVD peeps, you have reminded me he needs one of those Grin

DoesNotGiveAFig · 21/12/2011 11:12

For the ILs we are supposed to be getting restaurant vouchers as they love eating out at proper places (michelin starred thingy) if DH gets a shift on.

TheRealMrsHannigan · 21/12/2011 11:14

IL's : We got them a cinema voucher so they get a (very rare) night out together, also got MIL a new top, and FIL has a pasta cook book and a pair of jeans.
Have gotten a goody bag of pampering bits for my mum, nice shampoo and conditioner, bath salts, bubble bath etc.

Yulewithadragontattoo · 21/12/2011 11:17

White Stuff pyjamas and the Discworld game.
