I find my DH really difficult to buy for. Not only that, I find my dad and my brother equally difficult. All the men in my family! I never know what to get them!

What are you getting for the significant other in your life this year?!!

A Paul Smith polo shirt

Wherearefoxssocks · 15/11/2020 17:49

A ps4 game, a spice rack and a Marvel jigsaw so far. Oh and a Terry's chocolate orange. I now need some stuff small enough to fit in a stocking. So probably some whisky miniatures, a new Daddy mug from DS (cos I may have smashed his old one) and a big bar of galaxy

LunaMuffinTop · 15/11/2020 17:56

Darth Vader mug
Rick and Morty wallet to replace the one he lost on holiday a couple of years ago.
Autographed Rick and Morty framed poster
After shave gift set
Once upon a time season 5 I have been slowly buying them for him. There was more on list but I’ve had to cut it down a bit because he’s on furlough at the minute.

ShopTattsyrup · 15/11/2020 17:58

A pair of limited edition Simpsons print Vans.
Some new boxers & socks (his request)
Cookbook
Some games for his switch
And couple of little token bits: superman car air freshener etc.

TheUpholder · 15/11/2020 17:58

An Apple Watch. DD has chosen him some chocolates (which she is hoping he will share Grin) and ‘Santa’ will probably put some socks, pants, toiletries, nibbles and some local beer in a stocking.

Mine is a nightmare too, zero interest in new gadgets or general consumerism. Did tell me he'd love some 70's New York punk bands on vinyl recently and I noted them all down and have bought some of those but the rest are impossible to find. Also got a t-shirt of one of the bands, and Tim Minchin new cd.

NaughtyButNice · 15/11/2020 18:47

A bag for his fishing gear in the standard horrendous neon colour they all come in and some gloves to wear when fishing. Nothing really exciting but things he really wants.

GlennRheeismyfavourite · 15/11/2020 18:58

Panettone, whisky, le creuset mugs as little things then Cartier (sp??!!) pressure washer and deep fill toasted sandwich maker !

ViciousJackdaw · 15/11/2020 19:07

Just out of interest, has anyone's DH/DP asked for an extra large Pyrex dish this year?

maddiemookins16mum · 15/11/2020 19:08

So far.....
Marvel pyjama type bottoms
Book by that bloke from Oulander
The Les Mis staged concert DVD
Adult themed lego.

orangejuicer · 15/11/2020 19:08

We're only doing stockings this year so just a few little things. I've ordered him an old Matchbox Mini off ebay so far.

maddiemookins16mum · 15/11/2020 19:10

When I say ‘adult themed’, I don’t mean ‘adult themed’, just the architecture sets. Just to be clear.

G1nF1zz · 15/11/2020 19:32

Rugby shirt (it was on his list). Debated Lego but may save that till his birthday.

No but mine wants a sugar thermometer
Ukholidaysaregreat · 15/11/2020 20:16

Grin glad you came back to clear up about the adult Lego Grin

Otamot · 15/11/2020 20:17

Fuck all. Just how he likes it. He hates presents.

lovepickledlimes · 15/11/2020 20:18

PlayStation 5 if I can get my hands on one

EatDessertFirst · 15/11/2020 20:41

DP paints minatures so he's getting a codex, some dropper bottles and a paintbrush stand. I'll probably get him some Lego and my DC have chosen some Star Wars baubles for his Christmas tree.

kleanex · 15/11/2020 20:47

nothing

OneTC · 15/11/2020 20:51

Considering a bike

Beentherefonethat · 15/11/2020 20:52

Probably new motorbike leathers, boots, something like that. I think he’s getting me a piano.

lowerthanlow · 15/11/2020 20:54

He wants a new gilet. Stumped for anything else at the mo.

Thesaltandthesea · 15/11/2020 20:55

Mine is getting a Nike Apple Watch, an Echo show if they come up cheaper on Black Friday, a personalised mug from the kids and some new knitwear.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 15/11/2020 20:55

No idea. Haven't given it a moment's thought and nor have I thought about what I might want from him.

JaceLancs · 15/11/2020 21:17

Socks
Chocolate
Fancy gin
Some parts for his car
