He took DS out Christmas shopping today and after a lot of badgering on my part told me he'd got me seven things in total for Christmas.

Aside an xbox game I've got him I don't know what to get, I wasn't expecting him to get me so much.

A new keep cup, a polo shirt and a fancy bottle of whisky.

puzzledlady · 08/12/2018 22:53

Nice watch. Some tea. Whipping siphon.

1hello2hello · 08/12/2018 22:53

Tickets to see Brian Cox.
That's it, they bust the budget but he'll be excited.

Hikers · 08/12/2018 22:55

A wallet, a first edition of my favourite book (that he hasn’t read) and a fairly expensive tie.

Ivegotthree · 08/12/2018 22:55

Trousers, tie, socks, photo calendar. God so boring.

ilovepixie · 08/12/2018 22:57

A cruise to Norway and human league concert tickets.

Ikeameatballs · 08/12/2018 22:58

Whiskey, whiskey stones, whiskey glasses (can you see a theme?), a personalised bag he wanted for his sports stuff, a fancy electric toothbrush. It’s just been his birthday and he got some nice things then too.

PawPawNoodle · 08/12/2018 22:59

Some Ralph Lauren t-shirts and socks, a couple of pairs of Levis all from Ashford designer outlet on sale , a few books that he's been saying he wants and therefore I assume were Christmas clues for me, and will get him a new electric razor on Boxing Day in the Boots sale so I can use my points to buy it.

AdoraBell · 08/12/2018 22:59

Body warmer, bottle of port and Lindt fruit and nut. I started on the chocolate tonight after he annoyed me, we’re both too bloody stressed.

Avacadobaby · 08/12/2018 23:00

Favourite bottle of aftershave and some natural gut, leather grips and restringing for his tennis racket. He's easily pleased thank goodness.

YahBasic · 08/12/2018 23:00

Ancestry DNA, work shoes, electric toothbrush, couple of books, 2x baking books, chinos & rugby shirt. Stocking with mainly food bits and alcohol miniatures.

gamerwidow · 08/12/2018 23:00

T-shirt with stay puft logo (his favourite film is ghostbusters)

Blacktoffeecat · 08/12/2018 23:01

Hackett leather key ring
Days of the week socks
Nice marmalade and lemon curd
Gin, nice tonic, beers
Coffee, hot chocolate
Aftershave
New rucksack
Notebook
Boring but will all get used

Curlyshabtree · 08/12/2018 23:02

Nowt as he doesn’t celebrate Christmas. One less to buy for!

SaucyJack · 08/12/2018 23:02

Nothing for him, but the cat has splashed out and very generously bought us all a PS4 to share.

Shockers · 08/12/2018 23:04

A holiday we’ve just been on. He’s got me a holiday in January.

We’ve bought the kids a skiing holiday (with us) in March.

I’m old and have everything I really need. I don’t want ‘stuff’, and neither does he.

musicalmama · 08/12/2018 23:04

A coffee machine since he broke ours.
A hoodie
Different beer T-shirts

For his stocking he is getting:

Christmas boxers and shorts for on the day as per tradition
VIPoo
A pizza cutter (again since ours broke)
PJ masks ghekko sweets (our little boy loves PJ masks and they pretend to be catboy and ghekko)
Body shop tea tree wash and face stuff he likes
Flick-a-chicken toy (same as our little boy)
Pic n mix sweets
Obligatory toothbrush

BuffaloCauliflower · 08/12/2018 23:04

We’ve bought ourselves a holiday. Will get each other a few little stocking type bits but nothing else big.

NanooCov · 08/12/2018 23:05

A new wallet
Socks
A new coat
(All of which he needed and are terribly boring)
A wooden kit to build the London skyline

NotyourMummynotyourmilk · 08/12/2018 23:05

A Jack Wolfskin coat a running hat gloves and socks a bottle of plum porter
He has bought me an eternity ring , I saw it on his desk, (unless he had another woman and he is about to propose to her.!) and something else which he says doesn’t have a size so he can’t tell me how big it is!!!

HJWT · 08/12/2018 23:05

Some basmati rice from waitrose (we normally buy the Aldi version)

😂😂😂😂

Mamabearx4 · 08/12/2018 23:06

Car jack ( asked for)
Heated blanket for truck
Book from favorite author
Clothes
Chocolate boobs
Telescoping magentic tourch thing.

sulflower · 08/12/2018 23:07

Levi's, polo shirt and moccasin slippers as fed up him moaning about his current ones and vouchers for dives for our upcoming holiday. Currently looking for a decent compact multi-tool as the one he has is too bulky for travel.

MinesaPinot · 08/12/2018 23:11

Satnav
Book
CD

I had a very heavy hint about some chocolate from Hotel Chocolat today, so I'll get him that. Probably a top from one of his favourite shops and something stupid (he's a bit of a kid sometimes!)

ZacPosenatemyhamster · 08/12/2018 23:16

A bean to cup coffee machine, box of beers, gloves, a Nintendo Switch game, socks and chocolates
