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!!

My DH has a LEGO Starwars first order star destroyer for Christmas :) that and loads of retro sweets. (Lets hope he doesn't google my username )

An airsoft shotgun, a ps4 game and a phone. Well the phone isn't really a Christmas present, he needed a new one so I got him one. We normally just go on holiday rather than presents, but wasn't able to do that this year

An iPad, a jumper and lots of nice chocolate

A signed game and vinyl I know he wants, some of his favourite sweets that are a bit tricky to get hold of, a nice dressing gown and some aftershave, though I'm not sure which one yet Not sure if that helps!

Nothing - we have a no-present pact. We have a joint account and if there's anything we need or want we can just buy it ourselves, within reason.

Warhammer stuff

But it's a bit niche and quite pricey given it's just bloody bits of plastic so I wouldn't recommend as your husband will either be baffled (sane response) or be thrilled (unlikely but you will then be bankrupt and have shelves in your house covered in little models)

I bought a lovely slate wine rack for a wedding from slatewineracks.co.uk. this year. Ioan is welsh by birth but operates from Southampton. He was sooo helpful I've decided to buy one of his gin racks for my DH. He can do them in Portland stone and my DH is from the West Country so I think I've hit the nail on the head! 😀. I'm wondering if I've got time for him to engrave it for me!

I don't really know - DH is as bad as I am for not wanting anything.

But he has said:

Whisky - a nice malt and something cheaper like Famous Grouse for everyday and hot toddies
7th series of GoT
A book

And that is it.

what about some good audio books?

My DP is quite tricky, his interests are very expensive and specialist computer stuff so it’s a bit risky for me to try and buy related gifts.

So I tend to get him a stocking, lots of little nice bits - pants, socks, Books, chocolate, tshirts, shaving bits etc. Always goes down well

I’ve put together a Christmas stocking with individually-wrapped mini-presents of things that I think/hope he will like.

Nothing.

I think adults buying Christmas presents for other adults is weird.

His favourite aftershave
Tshirt with a silhouette of his fav car
Millenium falcon bottle opener
Vodka miniature (hopefully crystal head if the local shop get more in)

Not terribly flush with cash this Christmas but it's all stuff he'll hopefully be pleased with!

AndNone. I hope his treatment goes ok.

I’m getting my dh a board game and a nice bottle of wine.

Love the DVD and radio ideas. Thanks!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners Does he listen to audio books? How about a subscription to audible?

So far I've bought:-
Merino wool hoody
T shirt
Posh axe!
Waffle bathrobe
Lego campervan
Personalised wooden bath rack
Plus stocking stuff still to get
His birthday was last week too! Always very generous and thoughtful in his gifts to me

A new Barbour scarf - as he kost his last year in the pub

A Fred perry polo shirt

A handmade leather belt

A few books and vinyl

DH has asked for a plant propagator with heat and light. That'll be his main present. I'll also get him some food treats - gentleman's relish, deli nuts, a couple of paperbacks, some eau de vif (he loves it, I think it smells like/is paint stripper) and some Occitane bubblebath.

Notreally I love 'Posh axe.' None of your common choppers for Christmas, eh?

Call Of Duty ww2...I also want to play this :D

Iron maiden tickets and hotel stay.

Footie shirt.

Funny tshirt about men with beards.

Matey, colour changing bubble bath and matey pirate flannal.

Inflatable island soap dish complete with palm tree.

Bar of lush soap.

Iron maiden beanie.

And i'll order him an iron maiden tshirt at some point

I am getting DP an IPod Touch, craft gin and mixers, plus a few other bits.

My mum is getting him a DNA testing kit from Ancestry so he can trace his origins and family tree. Slightly left field gift but as he knows almost nothing about one side of his family, I think he'll enjoy it!

A bacon home curing kit

My BiL is hard to buy for and going to get an adopt a beehive gift set.

Mandraki got mine Joe lycett tickets too!
He is also getting a
geeky t-shirt,
pyjamas,
a nice catering standard microplane for the kitchen
Possibly some slippers
Cd

And the dog has bought him walking socks
