Dh mid 30s. Not laddish. Not really sporty. Likes finer things in life eg think total false economy me buying clothes in primark.

Things that have gone down well in past:

Pewter pint jug with his initials
Hip flask
Gentleman's valet (wooden stand for clothes)
Shoe cleaning set in posh wooden box (or maybe that's the valet and other thing is called something else)
Leather folder for work
Leather photoframe for his desk
Meat tenderiser
Set of bike tools
Toolbox and toolbelt
Meat slicer from Lakeland

Any ideas? Don't really want to get actual food or drink.

DH is (nearly Grin) 30 but pretty into his rugby. Not laddish but sociable. Awful at buying things for himself - will just go to primakrk and then wear things till they fall apart Hmmquite strict paleo diet so chocolate and booze are out. Things that have gone down well (or that he already has but likes) are
Personalised boot bags
Personalised cuff links
Leather work bag
Good quality sports bag that can be easily washed for ridiculous amounts of muddy kit
Smart work coat
Clarks shoes (ridiculously wide feet so comfy is important)
Watch

Thinking of getting him some tailored shirts this year if anyone knows a good way to go about it - I guess it can't be a surprise? He's got a props neck (20"!) but a 34" waist so all of his shirts look like parachutes

Well, I've got DP a spot on butchery class (based in London, small classes of 6 are taught butchery skills and come away with meat!) as his main present. The bonus is that he will come away with approximately 10 kilos of lamb Grin
I've also got my eye on some Ray Bans (prescription lenses) and a mac that is smart enough to go out in/wear to work. I need to surreptitiously figure out which sunglasses he'd like and what size mac will fit him.

For his stocking so far I have a finger-shaped pen that makes a fart noise when you pull it, and a pair of pants with penguins on them.
