What are you buying for your DH for Christmas?

[DaphneGaffney]

I need inspiration!
Thanks

My Dh only has essentials at Xmas, we don't do luxury gifts. This year he has new pants, pjs, slippers and some new boots from Asda!

Oh yes dh will be getting essentials too, I just wanted something different for a present, a surprise as well as the standard boring stuff. I got a great idea for Dd's birthday from here (something I hadn't even heard of) so I thought I'd ask for dh too!

Bumping as I need ideas too!

Tickets to an event
PJS
James Bond gift set - all 23 movies
Zippo lighter for camping
Beer bod subscription - beer delivered every week
Stocking with snacks
Hotel chocolat advent calendar

Season pass for the holiday park so he can take the kids to the fun swimming pool and soft play.

National trust membership for the year to encourage us to get out too.
Jelly babies - his favourite sweets.
A Lynx set.
Some books of his Amazon list & a surprise one I know he'll like.
Plus beano Tin of biscuits.

Mines getting:
F1 lego
A coffee hamper I have put together
Copious amounts of chocolate
Whisky glasses
Face wash and moisturiser for men
Toiletry bag as he works away alot
A crinkle chip cutter (because jamie Oliver has one)

An Aigle gilet (once I have sold my kidney to pay for it)
A hoodie for Cub camp
Beer and chocolate
A new wallet

Last year a friend did me a pencil drawing of his favourite dog. It was lovely and he cried so it's going to be a hard year to follow.

Aussie Grit by Mark Webber. It's only £6.99 on Amazon & its ideal for any guys into F1 & Motorsport.

No idea on the rest. Men are so tricky!

Oh and beer flavoured Jelly beans

DH also has Dec birthday ??

Last yr he got Fr Ted box set. Plus Xbox one games.
This yr he is getting His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. If he does not like it, I ll read them?? He has ordered a new Xbox game.
No idea what else to buy him??????

We've gone for small inexpensive gifts this year as money is tight:

Sons of anarchy tshirt
PJ's
Personalised coaster (to have at work)
Christmas socks

A Chemex glass coffeemaker
Turbo smartphone charger
Whisky
Cards Against Humanity expansion packs
Stocking with socks, chocolates, etc

Xbox one
New boxing gloves (might be a bit of a niche gift )

I'm just getting bits and pieces. So far a washing bag (I've gone completely blank on whether that's the right word, the sort you put toothbrush etc in on holiday?), a Lego book light and I'm thinking of getting a calendar for work with pictures of our twins. Dunno what else at the moment.

This backpack. He doesn't use a briefcase for work and is currently using a ten-year old backpack from sports direct. So update to thus one: www.johnlewis.com/herschel-supply-co-pop-quiz-backpack-black-tan-synthetic-leather/p2116175

Oops sorry
Blizzard subscription - it's a football mag I think he will like
Aftershave and Milton brown smelliest
Pants and socks - boring but needed
Kraken rum
A Clinique shave set - I get him one every year and it lasts most of the year
iTunes voucher, some DVDs and some sweets

He's ruined, I know

A Saracens Rugby shirt

So far I've got:
leather gardening gloves
mini plant snippers
a key hiding thingy for the garden
a book about gin
loads of socks
some toiletries from L'Occitane
bits and pieces for his stocking

I've yet to get:
Aftershave
Yellow glasses that block blue light
Adele's new album

He has also asked for a few handmade things like body scrub and a bag.

Seems like a lot but it's his birthday in December so I'll spread the gifts between both days.

Me and DH have said no presents and getting a small TV/DVD player for our bedroom in the January sales. Romantic eh?! Lol we are doing a stocking to each other with a £25 limit. Ive seen (and yet to get) a bottle of beer but has gin in it, a fleece balaclava for when he's on his motorbike, some christmas pudding chocolate, a bowie cd, terminator DVD, jd Ballard book

2 ties from the Jaeger outlet - they have a flash sale on.
DVD boxset - complete set of Men Behaving Badly
Killer sudoku book
Whisky
PJ trousers - he likes the cartoon ones you can get from Asda for about £10.
I might get some socks
2 bottles of coffee syrup plus pumps - we like the Sweetbird brand the best.

It's quite a lot now I look at it, but I'm giving some for Christmas & some for birthday which is just a few days later. I will probably see some other things as well. Must resist.

Oh yes, beer too. He likes his Real Ale.

A wheelbarrow. I won't wrap it. I think that's enough !

Big Bang Theory lego set.

So far:
a coat (in the sale)
a jumper
socks
pants
collapsible water bottle

I'll be getting him a couple of books/CDs/DVDs and I might get him a new rucksack and some jeans.

He buys himself nothing at all in the year, so the clothes are pretty much essentials!

His stocking will have beer, mustard, pickles, brandy, chocolate and some running bits (gels, little flashing lights etc) in it.
