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.

It’s his birthday today so I got him a pamper hamper full of naice skincare, different gins and chocolate etc.

Christmas so far I’ve got him a cosy hoodie, t shirts, a drone, golf ball finding glasses, a heated back massager, some nice ties.

A tube of jelly tots
a box of after eights.
A wok.
A crate of different ales
A personalised avengers tshirt with his name on it that I made myself.
I’m also getting him a white “posh” shirt that you need to wear cuff links with as he’s lamenting the loss of his old one.
I’m looking at a couple of different smaller bits to.
The kids have got him
A pair of slippers
A pack of socks
A Christmas tie
Two dvds

If he plays xbox games online then a new headset might be a good gift (obviously if he doesn't has one)

My DP has a headset but it's just a standard one so I'm buying him a new one that picks up on sounds standard ones don't, like people creeping up behind you and someone loading there gun etc so helps you win.

The guys in the game shop are very helpful if you tell them the games your DP tends to play they will advice on best headsets.

I got him what he asked for but I wanted to get him a chilly bottle, new hoodie and some nice socks. Hey how, sorted for his birthday instead.

  • A tour of favourite football teams ground with a meal for two.
  • A new electric shaver
  • Aftershave
  • Both Grand Tour books
  • A drinks bottle you can’t knock down (he saw this in a gadget shop on holiday and is the only “hint” he has given)

A GoPro. We are going skiing for the first time in years in February and he'll love it.

T-shirt and hoodie from the American Football team he supports and a book token. And if he's really, really lucky, a son! Grin

wierdwords · 09/12/2018 13:44

Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal as his main thing... he will luff it!

londonmummy1966 · 09/12/2018 14:03

Driving experience vouchers - 2 so he can take a mate - got a good Black Friday deal on them.
A book I think he'll enjoy
Aftershave - if I can face the trek into town as it is a niche one that isn't that easy to buy
Three pack of Frys Turkish delight (I don't know how he can eat that stuff but he loves it)
Loud stripy socks
A CD his mate made.

FourFuxxakes · 09/12/2018 15:05

Nothing. We have no money.

Birdie6 · 09/12/2018 15:09

Theatre tickets for both of us - the show is on our anniversary in January so it kills two birds with one stone.

AdoraBell · 09/12/2018 15:43

Four when we are short of funds I tell my DC I only want chocolate or coffee. Is there something cheap ish like that he and you would like?

Not trying to force you to spend money so ignore me if money is non existent.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 09/12/2018 15:44

Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Xbox. Won’t be getting anything else other than little bits - Ferraro rocher and the like.

Sirzy · 09/12/2018 15:46

A medal hanger and a jumper so far.

ilovetocook · 09/12/2018 15:46

A new DVD like always,a book and a new surf board and cover.

Camomila · 09/12/2018 15:49

Dh would like a digital radio for the car, he needs to send me a link though as I dont know what to get.

A tablet case and screen protector.
A Mr men Mr perfect mug.
Tickets to a comedian he wants to see.
Ive still got to get some PJ's and something new to wear on Xmas day and some of his favourite sweets.

Andromeida59 · 09/12/2018 16:04

Gone a bit all out this year, 3d printer, trip to London, Metallica tickets and some books.

gladiatorgirl · 09/12/2018 16:06

After nearly 50 christmasses we can't be bothered
Can't believe how much stress there used to be trying to find something he really wanted
He's asked for nothing and that's what he's getting. Same goes for me.

thismeansnothing · 09/12/2018 16:11

Me and DH just do stockings with a £20 limit for Xmas. So far I've got him a bottle of craft beer and a Bowie CD. He'll also get fudge, nougat, a pen, socks and pants.

His birthday is Xmas Eve. DD has got him some aftershave he loves and ran out of ages ago. I've got him 2 1:1 golf lessons at the driving range and a voucher for a bucket of balls so he can go again and have a play.
