To ask what you've bought your other half for Christmas?

[NotMyOriginalName1]

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.

Brian Cox tickets and a CD that he wants. No idea what else to get him!

Mine is getting a second wind of his midlife crisis and wants an electric guitar. I'm embarrassed for him.

New travel mug
Skydiving
Daddy Pig socks (tradition, even though the DC are too old for Peppa Pig now)

A canvas picture of the (ridiculously remote, tiny Scottish island) village he grew up in. It took a lot of heavy googling but I managed to find one of the house he lived in! And a bottle of nice port.

A card game called Exploding Kittens
A t-shirt with a joke on it
Two Vinyl records
The latest star wars film on blu ray
Bamboo socks

Pyjamas, slippers, coffee, wallet and tickets for the Hans Zimmer tour in March (he bloody loves his scores).

A sack truck - last year he had a wheel barrow. That is what he asked for.

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?
We're "asking Santa" for a box of chocolates like we got last year - a whole kilogram of celebrations chocolates from Amazon. That's more of a family gift though rather than just for dh, especially as he's paying for it with the voucher that he won

A season ticket for his football team.
A couple of new Fred Perry tops.
Alcohol.
New kindle.

We went to a festival over the summer so I have printed some photos from that and made a collage (am attempting to be sentimental). I've also got him three books plus bookmark, including Slash' autobiography, who he's going to see next year, a nice shirt, socks and a star wars millenium falcon tray to go on his bedside table to empty crap from his pockets in. That's it at the moment. Dd has bought him scrabble plus a hat, gloves and scarf set.

@WeBuiltThisBuffettOnSausageRoll ... It is indeed a thing. Although I may threaten him that I will bribe the operators to keep the lid shut if he pisses me off 🤔😂
Yeah he read about it and mentioned it a few months ago so he won't think I have remembered about it. Finally might be able to surprise him at last! He guesses every present every year!

A cashmere jumper, an Aspinal diary, a print for his bedroom wall, a couple of books and a mug.

He got a load of fishing gear earlier in year so small pressys. Slippers beer etc

Just doing a stocking this year with little gifts.
I've got him
• running socks
• cufflinks in the shape of a protractor
• pi-shaped cookie cutter (maths geek!)
• a few craft IPA cans
• a chocolate Santa from hotel chocolat
He's really easy to buy for as he doesn't spend much on himself but has a lot of interests and looks good in almost any clothing (tall and lean but broad shoulders)
I've gone a bit all-out for his 30th in January though

A t shirt
A leather bracelet with his niche hobby logo on it
Whisky
Amen single malt aftershave
Whisky
Whisky glasses with our nicknames on
Some sexy ish black trunk type undies
Chocolate
A weekend at the seaside just us two between Xmas and new yr

Wrapped a tin of beans, he likes Jean Paul gautier....

A coat
Trainers
The wrecking crew making a murderer book
Sonic mania for switch
Nerf dog gun
Joggy bottoms
The white album by the beatles
Alien man aftershave
Might get guess who

Nothing. Money is tight so it gets spent on the children.

So far, diddly squat.

webuilt No I'm treating him because he never treats himself he's always treating me and our 5DC because he enjoys buying things more for other people than he does himself,just like I prefer to buy for him and our 5DC rather than buy for myself!

He does also treat me to clothes and other bits that he knows I love,not every man is a chauvinistic pig!

My DH has taken a seious career break because I became seriously ill within 2 years of us getting together and he's now my carer.

maelstrop Thankyou,he's getting lots of non pratical stuff as well and all of the clothes I've bought him are designer labels,which he used to love and buy but won't now we have 5DC(and he's not the biological father of our 4 oldest DC but to him he is they're Dad and to them all he is Dad)he's a really decent guy and so I like to spoil him,he spoils me all of the time

The cornetto trilogy and her blu rays. A chillys water bottle, a sausage dog hand warmer, a bonsai tree and some post it notes so that he remembers things!

Cycling jacket (fancy brand that he wanted)
Cycling chain oil (fancy brand that he wanted - it was £50!!!)
Support to go cycling every weekend and holiday all year (may need to remind him I've given him that...)

CRICKETMum84 I have to say that gift sounds so lovely and thoughtful I'd cry if someone gave me that for Christmas.I bet your DH/OH will love it!

A beer advent calendar, which has been a huge hit.
Tickets to see Metallica next year. I'll get him some fancy chocolate as well.

Mine has a birthday and Christmas a few days apart .

Joint present for both is a stupid sub woofer thingy he hasn't shut up about .

Little bits are some lounge pants , band t-shirt , Beenie hat , bottle opener , a vw camper birdhouse , vw camper airfix model , some chocolate and some socks .

Bits to be spilt between bday and Xmas .

He is a big kid really and still believes in the power of the pile

Mine better be good ... he buys me sod all the rest of the year
