Presnets for DH .... heeeeeelllllllpppppppp

[mummycreepynora]

So I have pretty much finished my christmas shopping.... except DH... I haven't even started DH..... HELP!!!!!

We have set a budget this year £10 from the kids , £30 from each other.... so I have £40 to play with

WTF do I buy him

he's into lots of fitness stuff - but I end up buying him running gear etc for everything! Birthday, fathers day, crimbo - the lot!!!

I haven't a clue what else to get him!

Im of no help but can offer sympathy because im in pretty much the same boat, except its golf, not running.

Wish they'd write a bloomin list or something!

lol I get.... I dunno - clothes or something!

If I got 'clothes or something' in that budget it would be a pack of pants from the kids and a top - thats a pretty crap christmas isn't it!!!

what about making something from the kids, maybe decorate a mug or do a personal calendar with pics of you all. can't think of anything from you though, sorry!

did a mug as a last minute add on on fathers day!

I am dooomed aren't I!

Ipod Shuffle? I think they are under £40 and he can use this when he is running if he hasn't already got that

how old are the kids? if old enough why not get them to do a book of vouchers with things like 'this voucher entitles dad to ... a free car wash, breakfast in bed, lunch of your choice, etc maybe with stuff he likes & you could also "help". that way it's kind of free, they can help make the booklet & you get £10 more to whatever you choose to buy & he can cash them in when he wants (within reason of course )

Does he like comedy at all? I bought DP 'Best of Matt (Telegraph) books and Radio 4 series Dead Ringers and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and both have gone down well. Good luck though. I'm searching for ideas for a main prezzie this year too and it's been a painful hunt so far....

Well, I was going to buy mine a giant beanbag to facilitate his favourite hobby (lying on the floor, sleeping with the TV on) but he wants a golf GPS thingey.

does he play computer games?
my hubby would love the new medal of honour for ps3.
unfortuneatly for him he's only got a ps2! hahaha.

nice jammies?

malt whiskey?

cool hat and gloves from some kind of outdoor shop?

ooh, chocolates. truffles from thorntons? and toffee too.

cannae beat a good book. cd? dvd?

good luck!

DCs are nearl 1 and nearly 4 ....

he's got an ipod already...

DVD's is a good one I guess, I just think they're a boring present

I have been mega organised this year and got some really nice things for others, so want something inspired and thoughtful.... not going to happen is it!

oh I did spot some hat thing with speakers in so he wouldn't need to wear earphones - naff or a good idea? He does tend to wear a hat when running?

i seen that too!
well, if he wears a hat when running then why not!

truprint do nice personalized calenders and posters.

my hubbys fave author is james lee burke, if he likes thrillers and stuff.

DH isn't a big reader... I tried! He's dyslexic (sp?) and finds reading quite hard work...sigh!

Bugger it, will get the hat and a dvd or something?

Box set of music to run by. He can download them onto his iPod.

what about an audio book he can listen to whilst he runs? My DH doesn't read but likes an audio book.

If you haven't got expensive telly (freeview like us!) Lovefilm do subscriptions as presents and some of the higher value ones come in a gift box...bit more exciting than an actual DVD?

I think membership of Lovefilm is a good idea. The gift that keeps on arriving. What about a subscription to a mag . Altho I do like the hat/haedphones idea.
