What are you buying your DH?

[AugustaCarp]

After 10 years I've finally run out of ideas! Need inspiration!

Not sure. I am considering a voucher for a diving course but it may be too expensive.

Chanel Bleu aftershave and an electric toothbrush - that new black one that keeps being advertised (he's asked for it).

Some cycling gear. Other than that, I need inspiration. He mentioned he was thinking of getting a Go Pro camera thing back in the summer and hasnt done, so I may look into that but have no idea about cost etc.

Two books so far and a packet of sweets. I need inspiration for his main present though.

Gliding trial voucher and some charlie booker/alex horne books

Bowlersarm - does he have a GPS for his bike? If not would be a good present depending on budget obviously. OH bought one recently and raves on about how good it is.

We have set a budget of £50 this year which is less than a third if what we would usually spend due to impending baby arrival. I've bought OH a mint condition Le Coq Sportif cycling jersey from the 1970's as he kept banging on about the reproduction ones they released recently at the ridiculous sum of £70. The original was £17 from a local vintage shop. Also got him a cycling related print from a local artist. Really struggling with the fact I've only bought him two presents and gone a couple of quid over budget. I'm used to giving a few presents

This beer poster and a Garmin golf watch. For once, I've not left it to the last minute.

key finder - expensive one where you press button to make it bleep back - with ones you can stick on the remote too.

Photo book

Toblerone

plus a few other little bits for hamper - everlasting match lighter if it ever turns up, scratch repair for car, some favourite food bits. Plus he will probably want some music type thing which is so specialist that he will order it himself.

Felix, thanks for that, but yes he does have GPS for his bike. He's getting really hard to buy for now.

cigars and accessories ( new hobby, likes to have one on special occasion s)

grooming kit

sweets

whiskey

keyring and mug from DD

sweets

socks and pants

Worst one! I have no idea - got him a driving day voucher for an Audi r8 for his birthday which went down well

The GoPro camera is about £300. It's a brilliant piece of kit, though.

So far I've got him the lego hobbit board game, a dr who tshirt (wibbly wobbly timey wimey :o), mini sci fi magnetic bookmarks, tiny lego harry potter set

There will be DVDs too but having trouble narrowing it down!

An electric drill

A onsie

Pyjamas

Couple of jumpers and jacket from SportsDirect

A hardcore heaven CD set

Curtis Warren biography

Lynx sets

A playstation 4, although this will be a combined birthday and Christmas present from everyone.

I'm doing an Xmas stocking for him with:
Beanie hat
Earphones
Face cream
Shaving balm
Aftershave
Chocolate

Plus anything else I see.

Mine has actually come up with a couple of ideas this year - a magazine subscription and a cardigan (of all things) that he saw in H&M, so he's getting them.

I usually end up leaving him to last though and cop out and give him money, alcohol and stocking fillers.

I'm struggling as always as we have his bday, fathers day and xmas in the space of a month, so its, aftershave (again), jogging trousers and gloves from DS.

(I got him moisturuser, a champagne saver cork thingy and shoe grips (for walking on ice) for his bday)

Tickets to watch snooker live at Alexandra Palace and a lego mini figure display case!

Dp's birthday is a week before Christmas so always tricky. Money is tight but I bought him an expensive jumper a few weeks back he said would be for his birthday. For Christmas it'll probably be:

New boxers/socks (as everyone gets!)
Chocolates
Some lounge bottoms from fat face
Some coffee bags
A new radio for work
Umm.....

Nothing. We're on our uppers at the moment, so have agreed to spend the money on the kids.

I feel properly shit about it.

I've bought him nothing at all so far. All he wants is a jumper and a huge pile of books.

Sven autobiog
Slippers
Wellies
Possibly some Bose/beats headphones

DH has bought himself a bike trainer thingy and some new bike shoes ,
I have got him a Lumie clock, jigsaw, wheres wally boxers, cycle socks and am considering some sheepskin slippers from M&S.

Am so jealous of Felix getting that cycling top.

The Go pro might be an idea for next year,

Jumper and socks from Gap when they had a 25% off code.
Shower gel and face cream from l occitane - his favourites and they are so bloody expensive it is a birthday/Christmas staple
Nuts in shells (I will re wrapped the nut crackers!)

We're not buying presents for each other, we're going to go away for a night in January instead.

Will probably get him something like PJs from the DC tho.
