Ideas for those hard-to-buy-for men in our lives

[Theimpossiblegirl]

I was going to ask on the bargain thread but thought it might be easier to have a separate thread.

Please come and share your ideas for the men you are buying for. I have DH and several adult relatives to buy for and am stumped. My only idea so far is a Star Wars Thumb Wars light sabre book for DN.

Help me move away from the Lynx gift sets please (or at least get them cheaper).

I've ordered my brother a puzzle of a street map of his city from happypuzzle.co.uk. They have all different cities. Code 224t gets you 25% off.

For someone who exercises, these people turn workout data into art - www.madewithsisu.com

I might get my DH one of these as they're just about getting affordable - a decent electronic picture frame at last, upload your own photos or they have an art club. Ships from US though. www.electricobjects.com/meet-eo2

Has anybody got the board game 'Ticket to Ride'? Wondering about maybe doing dp a 'Family night in' theme too - so a board game, new pack of cards, some beers and snacks. Does that sound naff?

Remus I've heard nothing but good things about "Ticket to Ride" and its what I am getting DH this year. He doesn't want anything (but loves board games) so something for us all to play will be great!

Thanks, Hamster. Might go for it!

Tainted Angel It's not a buyable gift, but there's a Game of Thrones Cards Against Humanity download that you could get and print out? Maybe with a set of Cards Against Humanity if you don't already have it?

For those struggling for ideas, I like to have a goo on Primer every so often. It's rather American, and aimed at the stereotypical Millennial male, but sometimes has a good idea. They've got a whole gift guide here: www.primermagazine.com/2015/spend/2015-gift-ideas-for-guys

So far I've bought DH a cd, book and formcards. I was going to leave it at that, but I think golf lessons would be a sound investment. Is the best thing to do just to find a local club and buy a voucher?

We have Ticket to Ride! My DH loves it (though it wasn't a gift from us).

A vin santo gift box for BIL who doesn't do anything http://www.carluccios.com/shop-online/christmass_giftshop/confection-x91402

And a framed print of a football team based cartoon which hasn't been finished by the artist yet for DH who will be getting whiskey and Amazon vouchers from everyone else as he is so hard to buy for.

NotAMammy thanks for that link, that is perfect for my DP. He has a set of CAH cards but the GoT ones will go down a storm

Thanks, Abraham. Sounds like it could be a plan!

Thanks for all these ideas . I was a bit in despair earlier for my DH, DB and adult DS but thanks to this thread I feel like I am on my way to solving those Man-present woes! .. I have now bought

Form Card (though it may not get here in time)

Grid it tablet size

Ticket to Ride Europe (what a great recommend .Thanks !)

Human Elements T shirt from Red Molotov which is a good place for slogan t shirts and bags mugs for men and women

Also a Free Key and a Gerber shard Keychain tool

DH is a yoga freak.. any ideas of something yoga related?

I got my form cards today! Ordered on the 7th of October. So that's just around one month. If you order them now Laska you will hopefully receive them in time.

Thanks Abrahamkin I have ordered a pack of 9 (so fingers crossed will split then as starter between DH, DB and DS, then they can get more of they like them) . How many did you get?

Thinking Bamboo Base layer for Dh also...

I ordered some formcards from ebay and they were here within a week -worth bearing in mind if you want them fairly quickly.

Do you think an indoor skydiving voucher for 2 is a good present? For me & him.

Fab Hotwaterbottle! I'd love it anyway...

Wow but those formcards on ebay are £22 for 9. but £15 direct, (but it wont really matter if they are after christmas as only a 'filler' present )..they are pretty cool stuff though..

Indoor skydiving sounds a bit risky!!

Great ideas on here. I'm too tired to think about it now but will try to add something tomorrow!

I do think that the Ticket to Ride Europe is going to be the winner present for Dh though

Also Bamboo baselayers. Have ordered one for DH.. expensive but i reckon pretty good , if the fella you are buying for is outdoorsy.. ( they have a good few things in the sale section also ) .
