So what are you all buying your men for Xmas?

[McDreamy]

Help.....I need some ideas. What do you buy the man who everything?

God I don't know, Not for want of ideas but because he's asked for so many things I can't decide and I wanted to give him a surprise. I bought a philosophy football t-shirt that he said he liked but then had to give it to him for an anniversary present as they ring I wanted to get him was too small and couldn't be enlarged. I bought him the Billy Bragg book feeling very pleased with myself - then he told me that he wanted it so that was another surprise gone! He wants a top from Fat Face, a remote control speed boat or a stand alone turntable for all his old vinyl....but I want to get him a surprise....

I'm stumped...

At least he has given you some ideas.....I don't have any. I'm really really stumped. He's a bit of a gadget man but I wouoldn't know where to start. Also he's off to Afghanistan soon so was trying to find something that might help his time out there but again - stumped!

What about an MP3 player?

He has an Ipod!

Here is Dh's list of "idaes" of things he would like for christmas

One of those body protector things that rugby players wear under their shirts - but he's only a referee!
Rosslyn Revealed, a new book about Rosslyn Chapel
Peter Kay's autobiography
Navy blue rugby shorts
An electric razor
and something for the PC, can't remember what it was.

i have also bought him the Edinburgh version of Monopoly

What about this then, it is what I am getting my dh link

Liking that Debbie! Might look into that one.

Has anyone ever bought their dp/dh, or indeed themselves, a driving day? I'm thinking of getting dp a Ferrari driving day but I can't decide if it seems like a lot of money for not much pressie iyswim? Is that just because I'm not interested in cars?

The cheapest I can find near me is £99 for 5 laps in a Ferrari.

a chocolate orange and some lynx

My mum bought that for my brother's 30th - he said it was fantastic! I have bought hotair balloon ride, flying lesson and a helipcopter trip over Manhatten before for Xmas pressies and they have all been worth it.

At this rate, nothing. Cant afford to. Lets hope he will be happy with a xmas fumble under the duvet.

i was going to buy a new briefcase for him but he muttered something about one of those tomtom navigational gadgets that goes in the car , which is a bugger because i was going to wack the briefcase on my m&s card , other than that ,book,cd ,new shirt ,boring stuff

I have done the driving thing before - I bought DH a rally driving day a few years ago and he LOVED it, a friend of mine sent her husband too so they went together which was nice.

I am buying DH this year - an Aquascutum shirt if I can find a stockist (he already has one which he lurrrrves), some M and S jumpers (dull but necessary), a few books and some new aftershave.

Boring but like you say - what do you buy the man who has everything!!?

A digital camera.
Again.
Apparently this one is much better.

And a reference book that I have just ordered

It was his birthday on Sunday and I bought him a digital camera so can't get that one again!!

my dh seems to have anything.. I thought about it.. pressie was between an xbox 360 (the big kid he is) or a trip away somewhere..
I have booked a weekend away to dublin. so i get something out of it as well!

Ok, bought it!
Ended up paying £115 so that he can do some more laps. Just a bit worried that you can only use it between March and November so he will have a bit of a wait until he can actually do it.

He's having a day at the Falconry Centre - and so is my brother!! It's a fabulous day for £85 very "hands on" with the birds of prey.

Last year they had vouchers to go on a cookery course at Ashbuton Cookery School - they chose Middle Eastern .... I swear if I have another Tagine there'll be trouble !!!

I'm getting mine a digital radio for one of his presents. I was quite disappointed though as I thought it could pick up any radio station you wanted, but its dependant on the area you live in and whats available. Still he is so fussy I can't think of anything else so thats what hes getting

Probably get him some sweets, recordable DVDs, aftershave - the usual stuff too.

Mine's getting a clip round the ear and nowt else.

If I'm feeling generous, it might be socks

Would that be a diamond clip IGW ??? !!

My only ideas so far are a book I want to read too (although I am not sure if it is out in paperback yet) and a toasting fork.

Not much use to you McDreamy.

Dh announced the other day that 'we aren't going to get each other presents this year are we?'

So I have no idea if I will get him something!

Just found out that the book I want is not out in paperback until February. Do i buy a hardback copy instead? Why are men so hard to buy for?

yes definitely get the hardback. It is christmas after all! I am asking for some hardbacks. It so nice to have something good to read
