What are you getting your dh / dp for Christmas?

[hmc]

...so I can shamelessy nick your ideas.....

So far I have planned for dh.....nada!

Usually get him clothes ..

Might get him a complex jigsaw.....other than that???

socks - he loves them.

I have bought a book so far - dont know what else to get him (aftershave maybe)

What's the book?

Have been pondering this
cufflinks box but it might be right up there with slippers and ties!

gortex raincoat - it is romance all the way in our house at christmas

painting by local painter .....

iwant am impressed!

Lego or other complex construction thing / gadget

Really - it's what he wants

Jumper from me and DS.

Santa has got him lego {yes really}, car bin, counting money box {yes really} and some nuts

I never thought of lego for grown ups - but my dh might like that too!

if I am feeling rich I may get him a balloon trip thingy

dh has just got a new (to us) car. his christmas present this year is he gets to drive us all to my mums in it

i may get some baubles to hang from the rear view mirror

DH has requested a trumpet this year :)

I'll get him a few other bits as well.

Last year I got him a lovely chunky lambswool jumper, a crepe pan (which he asked for) and some books and smellies.

lucykate - you are a hard woman

I'd like to get him a nice painting, but unfortunately we don't have the budget for the works he likes!

I'm struggling to remember as I was super organised and did it ages ago. This is stuff for Xmas AND his birthday in Jan, haven't decided how to divide it up yet.

New Tolkein novel
Last in boring scifi book series (I've been getting them for him over the years)
Book about forensics behind Sherlock Holmes
Populous game for nintendo DS
Disney films (yes really) - Mulan, Hercules and Tarzan
Greatest hits albums of Massive Attack and Groove Armada.

Golf lessons

hmc. I feel the same but DH's thought will be 'what's wrong with leaving them on top of the dresser and then demanding you help look for the one that's missing'

I also want to buy DH an overnight bag as he keeps nicking mine when he goes away on business - but he would consider this too practical too.

I bought him slippers once as an 'extra stocking filler' He nearly divorced me.

Lots of various hot sauces
Cuff links
RC helicopter
2 Books
A shirt
Chilli chocolate
Signed GLC CD

Definitely a new pair of shoes, not sure what else. I always buy him clothes/shoes as he is too tight disorganised to buy them himself.

He might get some books too if he's very good.

Blimey fruitstick - you have your work cut out there

Not really (well not in the gift buying stakes anyway).

Some PS3 game, some random part for his car, something for his garage.

He's a 13 year old boy essentially

A cherry tree from me and probably a jumper.

PS3 flying game, whisky, Toblerone (every xmas, birthday and Father's day), Bad Science book from DCs.

can i highjack this slightly? i am considering buying my dh a ps3, which his best friend assures me he NEEDS! my main concern is whether it will get used by him, and also by the kids. fruitstick and foundwanting have you got kids and if so do they use the ps3? do you use it? what games get most used? all my friends have a wii so i don't know much about the ps3! thanks.
