A watch he wanted (kept receipt in case he prefers the other color...), 2 xbox games (including Puss in boots which he'll probably play with the DDs on Xmas day) and a calendar of the kids - everyone in the family gets one of these...

There are various options at the moment for DH's present. I wasn't going to get him anything but am now considering:

  1. A new duvet (courtesy of Groupon) as we desperately need one
  2. An Edinburgh minibreak (courtesy of Groupon)
  3. A pair of new bedside lamps

He is definitely getting a new belt

A leather satchel/messenger bag type thing from Scaramanga
2 DVDs, both fairly inexpensive
Reflective running vest and running water bottle
A top gear magazine, end of year issue
A kinder santa and some retro type sweets
