QueenofClean · 21/10/2013 18:54

chutney & marmalade is a good start. Any idea of posh versions?

www.tracklements.co.uk/relishes/onion-marmalade Anything from here.

Chocolates.

Kitchen gadgets.

Posh biscuits.

Local beers.

does he like manly, dark, bitter, chunky marmalade with peel?

www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Frank-Coopers-Oxford-Vintage-Marmalade-/39852011?sku=39852011&dnr=y

or, sometimes available in a stoneware jar,
Keiller's Dundee marmalade

if he likes a savoury (very very thin) spread on buttered toast
not considered suitable for women and children

surpisingly, some of the best speciality chutneys are at aldi.

A stoneware jar of stilton might go down well

Wherediparkmybroom · 21/10/2013 20:27

Bacon jam, real boy food in a flash jar!

QueenofClean · 21/10/2013 20:40

Piglet he likes strong chutney.

Didn't think about Aldi's speciality ones.

Thanks for the links so far everyone.

Oooh Queenofclean that's a lovely idea...that I'm going to steal Grin

Depending on budget: anything Hotel Chocolat for budget blowout (I recommend the salted caramel stuff!) or for budget bargain those £1.80ish box of seashell copy Guylain chocs from Lidl - they look more expensive than they are and are very moreish!

What everyone else said above (cheers!) plus maybe a joke/novelty item for shits and giggles Grin

PigletJohn · 21/10/2013 20:46

Lindt chocolate if he likes is

Ritter bars if you can find them (German brand, also sold in Aldi)

Special mug possibly with PG tips.

PigletJohn · 21/10/2013 20:53

if that didn't work, it's Tesco's stock no. 270312569

QueenofClean · 21/10/2013 20:58

Thanks bean Smile

My DH eats any chocolate.

what's wrong with socks :)

QueenofClean · 22/10/2013 05:23

Where do I get bacon jam from?

OP posts:
Chottie · 22/10/2013 05:48

A key ring with a mini LED torch attached

A special mug

Waitrose have a range of speciality local beers with a tankard (3 for 2 at the moment)

DharmaBumpkin · 22/10/2013 05:59

Small bottles of whisky... Normally £2-3, means you can get a couple of posh brands to try :)

QueenofClean · 22/10/2013 07:42

All fab ideas so far Smile

Bilthong

MortifiedAdams · 22/10/2013 07:45

A couple of magazines
A bottle of real ale
A dvd

A pair of smartphone gloves - to use with his iPhone.
Ironman 3 on 3D blu ray - Amazon
Bacon Salt - Firebox
Tabasco chocolate - Firebox
Bacon Jam - Selfridges
Nutter Butter Biscuits - Selfridges

My DD's will get socks and pj's etc so I won't put that in there.

I'll add Christmas ale & a bottle of Jacques Cider as he likes that. Any other ideas...he's a techy man!

Posh popcorn? Joe and sephs do some lovely sounding ones

QueenofClean · 22/10/2013 14:31

Sounds good - will go with iron man.

Any other suggestions would be fab...any ideas for posh crackers as will get him some jarlsberg nearer the time as his fab cheese, will also get him some Brie.

I'll look in Aldi for speciality cranberry sauce - goes lovely with Brie.

He's not a book person and doesn't write much.

Any good nifty puzzles/mazes would be good, if anyone knows of any?
