If you are exchange gifts.

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

Hi OP - just spotted you asked me where I was getting jumpers from! I'll probably get one from Reiss and then a couple of more everyday ones from topman or gap.

DH's GF died a couple of years ago. They were close and DH still misses him. His parents very kindly gave me his old record player, a Garrard 301, which is in a bit of a state - I'm getting it restored for him for Christmas. It's an expensive business, but it's bringing something that has enormous sentimental value for DH back into use.

Test match tickets

I've got mine a 1940's style pin up girl framed print Smile

TheNaze73 · 30/11/2016 08:11

6 Nations rugby tickets, obligatory bottle of Chanel Bleu, new gym gear & a top from Paul Smith

A watch, outfit for Christmas Day (I get him a posh shirt, designer shoes and his fave jeans), chocolate, smellies, bits n bobs.

I wanted to get him something sporty, like the football ground tour but not as we live nowhere near a ground. He loves all sport but I'm stuck Confused

A season pass to the holiday camp (for soft play and swimming)
Harry Potter trivial pursuit.

DH has just cashed in his change jar and bought himself a PS4, so I've got him a couple of games for that, a couple of books, a beer subscription and a big ball of Lindt balls.

A coat and a bag. Via a Westfield voucher as he's such a fussy twat that I would get it wrong and we would argue in a most non Christmassy fashion!

He has a beard (I liked it when it was sexy but now it's more American civil war general, sigh), so as an early Christmas present I got him a "bearded gentleman" advent calendar - a different scent of beard oil behind every door. Lots of cool beard treats for stocking fillers if your gentleman is bearded.

Silly bits from notonthehighstreet and a Molton brown box of shower gels.

Mine is tricky mainly due to our budget restrictions - so I have bought him 3 sessions on a dry ski slope with tuition, last year it was a surf lesson. I hope he will love it as that's his main present. Also bought him a watch box for storing his watches, a thermal coffee mug and a cookbook.

queenofthemountains · 30/11/2016 08:26

A book on trains, Meccano train model, chocolate selection box and a new cycling top. That'll do.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 30/11/2016 10:28

What's the watch box like Chips?

PrancerForHoney · 30/11/2016 15:17

Tickets to The Dead 60s, a painting he loves in the local pub, a jumper and Boss Orange Aftershave (from Duty Free last month)

hels18 · 30/11/2016 15:30

My OH wanted a Nintendo NES. It's like the bloody Hatchimal for adults as seems to be sold out everywhere. Confused He's got a record player instead, which was his second choice.

GetOutMyCar · 30/11/2016 15:34

Mine's getting a cheese making kit.

ScoopyDoo · 30/11/2016 15:36

Festival ticket ( he'll get me the same) as we try to buy things to do every year, plus it's a way of justifying the cost.
But also got him a slow cooker, whittling kit, fish de-scaler and bone tweezers, and a book about building cabins/sheds.

paap1975 · 30/11/2016 15:50

Snorlax, if you're looking for a nice watch box, Le Tanneur do one which is lovely

handslikecowstits · 30/11/2016 15:54

book about building cabins/sheds

ScoopyDoo what's the book called please?

IhatchedaSnorlax · 30/11/2016 22:20

Thanks paap.

Mulberry72 · 30/11/2016 22:24

An Apple Sport Watch, clothes, some Clarins products, a pair of boots he's been after, aftershave and a book of some sort.
