DH just wants a card and a day out with me or the family. I found out a long time ago that he's not bothered with birthday gifts and thinks they're more for the giver to feel good. They're a reminder that we care so he's not bothered what the gift is just that we thought of him.

This was a massive hit at Christmas:

Inkbird IBT-4XC Waterproof Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer with Rechargeable Alarm Meat Thermometer for Kitchen Outdoor Cooking Smoker Oven Grill BBQ Smoker Thermometer Food Digital Thermometer
by Inkbird Tech.

Its a meat thermometer with an app, so you don't have to keep going outside to check the temperature.

Also Weber Gloves are great, I think these ones are on offer:

I've also bought him a wok, a skillet, rotisserie, pizza stone, extenders (to make the bbq bigger so the turkey can fit on it)
Then cheaper things like scrapers, aprons, tools, wood chips and planks for fish.

Honestly, it's great for a good few years! I'm running our of Webber stuff to buy now though! Grin

Sex and a bacon sandwich. According to "Dinner ladies". I fear they may be right.

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 16/01/2022 18:24

Nothing.

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 16/01/2022 18:29

I should say DH doesn't want anything.
