Share gift ideas for adult men here!

[GreatSoprendo]

I think it's really hard to get great gifts for husbands, male partners, dads, brothers, BILs etc - and I suspect I'm not alone......
How about we share here what we are getting for men, so we have a big list of ideas all in one place?

As a start, big successes in our family last year were;

• subscription to Beerbods
• Private Eye subscription
• hamper of cheeses

It is really tough!

I always think the men's sections for Christmas are pretty dire :(

For dh I am buying the new fifa, another tattoo, paperchase diary and the new given chy aftershave

FIL will get a bottle of château neuf

My uncle a jigsaw puzzle

Bil Scrabble or similar

Totally stumped for my brother and younger BIL.

My dad I usually make a goodie bag of fortnum marmalade, hotel chocolate, new mug etc

These ceefax style mugs are great for any football fans

I went a bit crackers on another thread a couple of weeks ago here

My brother liked the wallet ninja I bought for him

There are some really good ideas on the thread linked by Redtoothbrush. I have now finished off my husbands presents, so rather happy about that.

So far, I've bought a box of craft beers from Flavourly (but must remember to cancel membership as I only wanted a one-off with a discount code).

Millennium Falcon Haynes Manual off Amazon for £3.99.

I got one of these Yorkshire Beer Experience sets for Father's Day and may well order for FIL for Xmas: shop.keelhamfarmshop.co.uk/collections/for-him/products/yorkshire-beer-experience

Boden have some nice bits in their Loungewear section for men which work out quite well with the code A2G2 on top (gives extra 20% on top of sale prices, ends tonight).

Saw the following in Waterstones today:New York Times 36hrs in Europe
There is also ones for Asia, North America & South America. Beautiful books, with tabbed pages.

Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: The Atlas of Everything You Never Knew You Needed to Know
Again very beautiful.

Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travelist: The 500 Best Places on the Planet...Ranked

Spooks: The Greater Good

Haynes Manual Make Your Own FM Radio
There is also an Arcade Game to make but I can't find link to it on either waterstones or amazon.

raspberry pi complete starter kit

My brother likes nice aftershave so I got him a set of mini ones last year, so he could try them out and decide which he liked better.

redtoothbrush you've inspired me to find something like your 36 hr books but on Dubai ( our holiday next year ) . Inspired me on another thread with another suggestion - you are good! :) thanks

The 36 hours books are stunning, I have a few myself.

Love the private eye subscription, that's BIL sorted :)

Fancy coffee flask, subscription to a magazine, theatre tickets, whiskey, food hampers.

Checking in because I haven't a clue.

DH isn't into clothes, doesn't wear aftershave, doesn't smoke or drink, only hobby is a martial art which I can't buy anything for. Doesn't like fancy food. I'm absolutely stumped this year. I don't think there is an Xbox game he wants at the moment, he has a couple thousand films and I don't want yet more bloody DVDs.

I do like the magazine subscription idea. Need to remember which magazine he very occasionally buys now .

Also need ideas for my dad and step grandad.

I'm getting dh a keyring engraved with a drawing ds has done, its of a superhero and as he is only 4, its pretty cute.

He is also getting molton brown black pepper things as a treat, instead of the usual supermarket shower gel.

There are some fantastic Lego kits for grown ups....Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower, The White House etc. Think I might get my DP one of those this year....he used to love helping DS make his on Christmas morning when he was little (DS, that is).

One year I got a poker set and some beer & pork scratchings. That went down well.

Also, last year, all the adult males got a Firebox mystery box each. Good fun nit knowing what they'd got until they opened them.

Inspired by a lovely leather bag linked to on another thread, I'm now bidding on ebay for used vintage leather music bags for choir-going DH.

Im thinking of buying DH one of those in-car dashboard cameras. He likes gadgets. And he drives like a maniac.

Otherwise....not a clue.

Ive also bought him a T shirt with "Knows chemistry" (pic of breaking bad chap); "knows Physics" (pic of sheldon) "Knows nothing (pic of Jon Snow) - three of his favourite TV shows.

DH sorted after reading this thread - have ordered raspberry pi starter kit and Fanny's T-shirt which he will love - thanks for the great ideas.

Interesting beers always go down well with my DH but the most successful things I ever got him were a bread making day with a baker and a magazine subscription.
I find my dad really hard to buy for though, he always ends up with whiskey and chocolate.

My dad is getting the Game of Thrones monopoly, thinking of getting DP new Guy Martin book not for me oh no, other than that - I'm stumped!

Pistonheads have 15% off with OCTOBER15

Great gifts for petrolheads

I've started stocking gifts. We don't have big budgets for each other this year but have found some nice PJ bottoms in primark and also a Sons of Anarchy tshirt which I know DH will love. Otherwise I'm abit stumped. He cycles a lot when in London but it's more for his commute so was tempted to get him something for that - maybe a go pro!! He does like a bit of tech.

For men who like cooking and/or takeways? This book might be fun. Am planning on getting it for DH.

Homemade Takeaways: How to Make Your Favourite Takeaway . . . But Better

Another idea for men who cook?
