Gift ideas for hubby who 'doesn't need anything'

I'm completely at a loss as to what to get my dh for Xmas. There is nothing he really needs or wants [his words] and so I'd like to get him something out of the ordinary or a bit unusual. He's quite a gadget fan and likes his' toy's' but nothing naff or disposable.
Perhaps tickets to something in the Berks or Berks/ Hants area if anyone has any suggestions - Comedy preferably. He loves 'The Pub Landlord, Tittybangbang, Catherine Tate' etc.

I'm getting my dh 4 flying lessons. I am sure that there must be a flying school near you - Blackbushe?

membership to a gym?

PrincessPeaHead · 05/12/2006 23:01

subscription to private eye (cod suggested this 3 years ago and I've been renewing it ever since - very popular!)

the one man star wars show was touring a while ago, that was brilliant apparently

I also saw ross noble last year, he was fantastic.

alternatively give him a flying lesson? they do them at thruxton (hants)

Subscription to a gadgety magazine or one of those experience days? Hot Air Balloon or footie match or rally/racing car driving. They've got the big comedy bash on at reading hexagon feb 11th - variety of comedians including al murray or lenny henry in april?
