If you are exchange gifts.

If you're a man, what would you love?

msvan my hubby also has size 14 feet and I agree finding shoes is a nightmare. Nike are fantastic for a big selection of trainers (though expensive), but the only place we can find 'normal' shoes are Jacamo and occasionally Brantano. Not a great selection of shops or shoes though!

When we buy his motorbike boots they have to come from Sidi, but he's a 15 in their sizing! Confused

And in answer to the original thread question, I'm buying him a motorbike stand for Xmas. Smile

NES Mini. I've just managed to get my mits on one after being signed up to Stock Informer for weeks. DH isn't a massive gamer but he is nostalgic for this and would like it so that he can play with DDs. I think he'll be happy with it.

My DP didn't want anything, but I bought him a few things that I thought he might want or need anyway.

A ted baker satchel/document bag
Ted baker socks
A bodywash/hair and deodorant gift set
A hoodie from superdry
An iPhone case (A Joker one as he likes DC comics)

Might buy him some chocolates and some nice spicy cooking sauces as well.

I'm getting my OH socks, aftershave, boxer shorts and a jumper.

Socks, obvs. My exh would be counting down to sock day.

ChippyMinton · 29/11/2016 22:56

I'm trying to encourage him to get rid of stuff so won't be adding to it. I've bought concert tickets and will add dinner and drinks on the night.

19lottie82 · 29/11/2016 22:56

Some Timberland chukka boots, a pair of Paul Smith socks (I always get him a posh pair of socks every year!) and a set of 4 mini deep fat fryer basket things to serve chips in, like you get in posh restaurants!

19lottie82 · 29/11/2016 22:57

chippy I hear you! My DH has farrrrrrr too many clothes, so I've held back this year.

PlymouthMaid1 · 29/11/2016 23:04

A pair of slippers, a bottle of beer and a giant box of jaffacakes.

ChippyMinton · 29/11/2016 23:09

Lottie I've also made him swear not to buy me any tat. Smile

cheerylilthing · 29/11/2016 23:11

DP has a new pair of Vans trainers, face wash & a voucher for a back massage from me & a bottle of aftershave from DS.

Trainers are to replace his current ones that are way past their lifespan & aftershave is to replace the one he ran out around the time DS was born & it became harder for us to justify treats for ourselves.

Coffee & chocolates go in his stocking.

Bettyspants · 29/11/2016 23:19

All the family have a small but v stretchy sticking from mr. F.C. Ours has useful things in and a few nicknacks e.g. Ck pants bought in Black Friday sale, Lego (useful to entertain dc ) smellies , etc. Pressies to each other (rather th FC!!) we're waiting for the sales due to cash flow!!

arethereanyleftatall · 29/11/2016 23:42

Nothing.
He finds opening presents pretty boring, and we are in a financial situation that allows us to buy whatever we want whenever. So, there is absolutely nothing I could buy him for Christmas that he wouldn't have bought already if he wanted it. Which is a, sort of, shame.

Foofer · 30/11/2016 00:19

user1479495984 - no bose! Just a cheapie to make sure it'll be used with an upgrade option for the future
