I need your help

[Chocolatehasruinedmylife]

OMG! I've been so busy with work and getting over Christmas, I've only just realised that it's DPs birthday on Saturday,
You lot have been fab in the past, please help me out and tell me what I can get him, shops are obvs shut so it would need to be from somewhere that would deliver In time.
He's 43 😀

Thank you all in advance....I'm relying on you

A spotting scope

Chillys have just brought out a coffee cup? Bought my husband one for Xmas and he loves it, keeps coffee hot for ages and will go nicely with a coffee subscription!

Buyagift/Red Letter Days/Virgin Experience Days

I got someone around that age a very nice Barbour gilet. There are some good reductions on the website and they deliver quickly, you can email them to say its an emergency.

Ooni pizza oven

Shiiiiit! My dh's birthday is tmw and this thread has reminded me, so thanks for that! I need to think of something tomorrow!

Readly

DH loves it. Recommended on here.
1000's of magazines to read
Also one subscription can be used on up to ?5 devices so DH has on phone and iPad
Really super selection of magazines and some newspapers

Smart watch, chocolate covered espresso beans and some booze. Also don't forget snacks and cake!

Hard to say as you’ve not given much info However it was my DP birthday today Bought him 2 new shirts, and a t shirt, his favourite gin, 2 escape games, pocket knife, costa gift card, DIY tools, biscuits/chocolates (luxury) cash towards things he needs like tyres for car (out of work and bees transport)

Whoa. All that for a birthday?!

Swiss Army knife? With all the gadgets?

I received one in 1985 and still use it at least once a week; it's in the kitchen drawer.

Felco pruners and wire cutters are great if he's gardener. They're superb.

Good sunglasses?

@Chocolatehasruinedmylife

For info - He's a beer drinker Coffee drinker Mountain biker Likes films Likes gadgets

I am currently looking on Amazon for inspiration, hoping something quirky jumps out at me

Flavourly beer subscription

In case he’s a swimmer, I bought my DH last year swimming Google’s by a firm called ‘form’ they have a heads up digital display so you can track your stroke/distance etc. He absolutely loves them. Apart from the novelty he also says they’re the best goggles he’s ever had. Not cheap though :—( Not sure about a gift this year though so following with interest!

GoPro to record his bike rides?

I'd recommend the Ninja Foodi - we bought one at Christmas - it's AMAZING. We got the one with 9 different functions (fancy!) and it is every kitchen-gadget-loving fan's dream, I reckon! Not much it can't do!

Oh and also, I agree with the person who recommended the Readly subscription - it's great. Saved my husband a fortune on gadget/computer magazines he reads! £7.99 a month (although there's probably a joining offer at the moment) and he can read magazines a-plenty for that cost - normally just one of those magazines was costing at least £5.99 - so definitely worth the subscription.

No particular suggestions of what to get, but I ordered form Argos last night, will be ready to collect from the mini Sainsburys across the road this morning.

An aeropress! If he’s into coffee it’s fun to use and really affects the taste- much closer to barista made than any other home method

GoPro or cheaper budget ApeMan camera to record bike rides. Mountain bike shoes.

I'd suggest a voucher for an experience so he has something to look forward to and it's something he will always remember, rather than an item that will get used or forgotten over the years. What about hot air ballooning or something like that?

Inflatable canoe
My partner asks me every year what I want I always say a Lamborghini.
Every year I am disappointed 😔

UPDATE

Whatever I get needs to be available from a supermarket

Supermarkets do vouchers for different things? He could choose something?

A bottle of posh spirits?

Sainsbury's also have an Argos in the stores I have visited recently?

Or Halfords do click and collect for biking stuff?

I think I'm going to look through Aros tonight, He has most things, which makes it a tad harder. Think I might try an experience day?

I never even thought of Halfords 🤦‍♀️
