What are you buying your husbands/partners for xmas?

[howdoyoudecide]

Taking inspiration from the other threat running.

My DH is very hard to buy for.

His hobby is mountain biking but he has some health issues At the moment which stop him from doing that.

He has recently gone on a much needed shopping spree and so has pretty much a new wardrobe.

He has just bought a new tv wit some inheritance.

He has an iPad and fancy headphones.

He doesn’t really do books.

He has a leather hold-all and wash bag I bought a few xmases ago.

I do not know what to buy!!!!!!!!

What are you buying for your other halves? Inspiration needed!!

So far...green and blacks chocolates.

Also have the 'birthday close to Christmas' issue and we've been together 20 years so hard to think of what he doesn't have

Oooh liking the bathsheet idea!!

I know it's motorbikes not mountain bikes, but how about tickets to Arenacross? It's indoor motocross and acrobatics- he might enjoy it.

We just do each other a stocking with a tenner limit. So less stressful!!

We set a £40 limit - he wanted some lovely whiskey glasses from house of Fraser- lovely and heavy

Old tools
Antiquarian technical books
Kitchen gadgets
Sweets/chocolate
Socks
New call of duty game
Gin

Hoping to steal some suggestions from here

I bought a royal doultan whisky set, Bose speaker and creed aftershave in one year, all of which he loved, we have gone downhill since then as I have no more ideas

An Alexa
Coffee syrup
A book
Phone case
Desk calendar of kids (annual tradition)
Little crate of chocolate lecquers
Port

Ark for ps4 air fryer socks naice tie cologne slippers

Personalised ordinance survey map xx

Sorry about the xx

I got DH a couple of merino wool undershirts for his birthday ( hes a cyclist and amateur astronomer so keeps him cosy). Would that be an idea fir when he's fit enough to get on his bike again?

For Xmas DH is getting new lenses for his camera and malt whisky.

A Raclette Set

Probably this one:

VonShef 8 Person 3 in 1 Raclette Grill with Natural Stone & Traditional Plates, Fondue Warmer & Tapas & Mini Crepe Maker includes Spatulas & Pans https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01C34WDGO/ref=cmswwrcppapi_vDfgAbJN80NVF

Pandemic board game Season 2.

Game of Thrones card game.

Whisky.

Two jumpers
A heart shaped oil and vinegar dipping plate
Some olive oil and balsamic vinegar to go with it
Four wine glasses (his request)
Blockbusters mini game
Two books
An 'activity map of the UK' by OS maps
A map measuring tool (because our walks are always 2 miles longer than he says they are..)

#broken - that is quite possibly one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. And I want it! But he would see that as a present for me. Which he would be fine with probably lol

No idea whatsoever. He has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer so the tickets to see his favourite comedian next November seem a bit insensitive. He has a nice new leather overnight bag and wash bag for hospital, new slippers and dressing gown, and I bought him an iPod for his birthday. He doesn't really enjoy reading. I would love some suggestions - he has no energy for his interests any more and isn't interested in food or drink any more which is a huge deal as he has always been a foodie

I've bought my oh morrissey tickets. He idolises the man, has done since he was a teen.
I am going with him to the concert. Woo, I can't wait to go and listen to a grumpy miserable old man singing in his weird voice! I'll fake the happiness!!

We can just abou afford clos e family presents so we're not doing big presents, he's got a nice of liqueur chocolates

I nicked this idea off another mn thread I think - dh is getting a bacon delivery subscription as part of his present! 🥓

I am quite prudish in bed and I have decided to go a bit wild and brought him some sex toys from Love Honey ! They had a massive sale on, so got a few bits. I thought it beat the usual socks etc and it will be a real surprise for him and us. Spices up life a bit

Bought him tickets to see Joe Lycett, comedian. Also going to get him a new fluffy dressing gown, a shirt, some fancy gingerbread, sweets chocolate etc and if I see a nice aftershave that isn’t too pricey I might get him that.

A Kindle Fire and possibly a new rugby hoodie if I can find a nice one. Socks as well, of course, and maybe a game or book or something as well.

Andnone - I am so sorry to hear that. I don’t think I have any good suggestions. Maybe a weekend away somewhere?
