What are you getting your OH?

[OverAndAbove]

I am totally out of ideas. I wondered about something running-related (he's training for a marathon) but I can think what. I don't want anything trashy that will just add to clutter. He has the usual gadgets - iPhone, iPad, etc. Last year I got him a new kindle and case.

I'm keen to hear what others are doing?!

Mine will get a book and a sweater. Possibly something for the garden.

A golf weekend at the belfry

Help help!! No ideA
We are expecting our first and it is a boy so maybe some cute little kit for the bubba that relates to something he has a hobbie?
I dont know!

As a fellow runner I love any sort of running gear or vouchers towards it too

Not got a clue. I've not had an income for years (sahm then student) so it all seemed a bit pointless to spend "his" money on a present. Obv all money is ours not his but ykwim. We normally just do stockings for each other and fill them with little thoughtful things.

I got DP a flying lesson through virgin experiences last Christmas- wasn't massively expensive. Then we had a baby early this year so I figure that's present enough for this Christmas!

Can you suggest he creates an Amazon wish list over the next few months to give you some ideas? Mine wants some Salomon trainers and will get some choc and face cream from the DC

The Sphero BB8 robot. He really, really wants it and I know he and DS will have the best fun playing with it. So in some ways, it's an additional present for DS.

I've also gotten him a Superman mug from DS.

Im treating him to a surprise weekend away in Edinburgh in December. Its the first time we will have left the kids for more than one night.

Ill take the kids to choose him a little something to open on christmas morning

A watch which I've seen in Costco for about £150 and a few stocking fillers....

He wants some cologne - Hugo boss or Tom Ford. Easy!

Has he got a fit bit?

Dh is getting a new hockey stick, suit for work, maybe spurs top. From me and my siblings

DH is getting a tassimo coffee machine with some pods. It's more a present for both of us

Fitbit?
Subscription to a running magazine?

Last year I gave DH an iwatch which he loves.

This year he has suggested a dab radio to use in the caravan, so I'll get him that.

I still want to get him a present that is a surprise.

Get him a flip belt. It's DHs favourite running accessory.

We don't buy each other Christmas presents but we save the money we would've spent and get tickets for a show or something we can do together.

After years of being a sahm I've got a (very) parr time job so I'm looling forward to getting him something with my own money for once. I might get him a paperwhite as he is always complaining if i turn all the lights off and hw can't read in bed.

Oh ffs excuse the typos.

There was a liquor we both liked on our first holiday together earlier this year so I've found a recipe and am going to print that out along with the ingredients.

I'm also considering a cork board, map and pins for recording our travels on.

Will probably buy him clothes that are more my taste than his

a shed

Thanks for all your replies - really good to see the ideas.

Yes he has a Fitbit and I offered him an Iwatch but apparently that's not quite what is right - and neither of us can work out what is right.

I might have to go on one of the running threads (an impostor!) and find out what running people like. It's always a case of him not knowing, but loving it if I can find something he didn't know he needed IYKWIM

A ticket to see John Bishop next year (problem is I have to hope he doesn't get the same for me! We both like him).

Renewing his magazine subscription that I got last year.

A dvd he told me he wants that I've now forgotten (he has a couple thousand films, it's hard to keep up ).

And I'm stumped. We spend about £100 plus something from DCs and I'm really struggling. He doesn't have any hobbies, he doesn't drink or smoke. He has enough clothes. He isn't bothered about any self grooming at all. He did mention about going swimming so I may see if I can get some vouchers for that.

vinyl, lots of vinyl both new and pre loved, a sock subscription, a new dressing gown, cologne, his favourite hair wax, graphic novels, an r2-d2 pint glass, a leather card holder as he used those more than a proper wallet these days. After that i'm stumped. probably more vinyl to be honest! oh and toblerones and chocolate oranges as they are his favourites

It's DH's birthday just after Christmas as well, so I have to find double the amount of presents!

A boot dryer ( he loves mega-walks with the dogs, and often boots get very wet)

A fleece jumper - he loves new fleeces ( even though I have a whole cupboard upstairs FULL of them!)

Some really unusual and smelly cheeses

A few new DVD's ( he is so NOT a film snob so it will be whichever big blockbusters/cheesy thrillers get released in the next coupe of months!)

A book about easy things to see with a telescope ( I bought him a fancy telescope last year for Christmas, neither of us realised how difficult it is to use! )

A new belt

New smart polo shirts

New posh boxers

Posh mens face cream

A shed load of toblerone and jelly belly beans

Some of his favourite bottles of cider

A book about physics/the universe ( he loves this stuff - gets a subscription to New Scientist every year for fathers' day!)

I usually pop a groupon voucher in his christmas stocking - a day clay pigeon shooting , hawk walking , falconry experience, stay in boutique hotel have all been successes!
