Harry Potter studio tickets, Star Wars on blu ray, couple of t shirts

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 17/12/2016 12:47

I bought DH a voucher for a day's experience with raptors at the Raptor Foundation . Not my idea of a great day out but DH said ages ago that he'd really like to do it.

I've also bought him a bottle of rhubarb gin. I might enjoy helping him out with that Grin

Some kitchen utensils, a bottle of rum and a night at a spa.

Why am I guessing these might not come up on the ridiculous websites that like to list gifts in subsections based on type of genitals?

Fat face lounge pants
A nice whisky with crystal glass
Cologne
Johnny Marr autobiography
An Indian cook book (he's curry mad)

2 new shirts
Socks (from the kids)
New wallet
He'll get a bottle of something as well

Also want to get him tickets for a band or comedian for us to go to next year (just haven't decided which one yet).

Possibly iTunes voucher as well.

We've got a limit of £20 each this year. 1st time we've done it but we booked Florida for May 2017 and going all out for the holiday.

So far I have desktop drum kit (he's always wanted a drum kit Grin), good branded razor with dad engraved on it (I got it free) and a giant ferrero rocher. Have roughly £10 to spend and no clue what to get! Using this thread to get ideas Wink
