What are you getting your DP for xmas?!

[Longo]

My DP is so fussy but refuses to say what he wants for xmas! Help desperately needed!!

Oh he is also getting:

Bottle of tanqueray gin
Bottle of single malt
Some guinness
Some bottles of local real ale
A lager set with posh glass and bottle opener
A twinings tea set with mug cosy
Some christmas coffee from Whittards
A cheese and cheeseboard set (might get him sort port to go with it - trying to sneak in finding out whether he likes it first, if not a nice bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape)

Books are good if you know what he likes to read?

DP likes rugby, vintage cars and planes so I have got him a few things related to that too.

Blimey Nappy - don't let the rest of our dps see how much yours is getting - or they'll all want to come round your house instead! Especially with all that booze there!

Sainsbo's have some v good offers on port at the mo, of any use?

Have already seen Nappy's list. Wifeswap for Christmas week?

Am still reading all this but:

ChateauRouge thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning the LRB subscription. I could kiss you!

Still in a bit of a panic though.

So far then,

LRB subscription

Moleskine pocket diary

A History of the World in 100 Objects

Thomas Hardy biography

Book about ancient Iraq

Wow nappy, have you been saving up all year? Do you get lots of pressies too?

Jenai - god I love moleskin. Sadly dp just won't get excited about it. Adds some to his list anyway just because it's NICE! :)

Dp has decided he would like some moisturiser for Christmas (is this the first sign of an affair ). Can anybody rec one that isn't horribly expensive please? He's forty and spends A LOT of time outdoors, so I suppose it needs a SPF.

I lied - he is 42. I had forgotten how old we're both getting!

I really want that History Of The World in 100 Objects for myself - the cover is so beautiful.

Wonders how much longer she can go on talking to herself for? :)

Buy it for your dp!

The new Smasung Galaxy
Kinect for the xbox 360

So far I have gotten him The Haynes Dad Manual

Have I bought him too much? It's our first Christmas and I got a bit overenthusiastic about spoiling him!

Awww no - we were all just feeling guilty in comparison. I'm sure he'll be a very happy MrAddict! :)

nappyaddict - No not at all!! I would love to be able to spoil my DH like that. Its my DHs birthday a couple of days after Christams so I tend to buy something bigger then (infact thats what I spend my Christmas cash on!)

An ipad
A pair of shoes
A French Connection jumper
A French connection polo shirt (to go under jumper)
Will also fill a little stocking with a couple of goodies like boxers & chocolate.

He has been rather spoilt this year!

Bumping this as still needing more inspiration.

A pair of boots
Ice Road Truckers DVD set
Smellies.

Not particularly inspired, but it is what he wants!

chopping boards

Next boxers

and he is getting nothing else, unless I stumble across the yard of jaffa cakes!
