We never buy each other presents. Having realised reading here that bob Dylan is doing a tour.. I am now trying to think of plans of how I can book tickets without dh finding out...

Schmoochypoos · 17/12/2016 19:41

Jeans
Sweatshirt
T shirt
Socks
Pants
Aftershave
Chocolate orange

Pretty boring but things he wants/needs.

gillybeanz · 17/12/2016 19:42

Just clothes as he has lost about 4 stone this year.
Small things like scarf, umbrella, sports t shirt and the usual smelly stuff.

Autumnchill · 17/12/2016 19:44

Book of Mormon tickets for January
Ted Baker shoes he wanted
Boss jumper he saw today
Molton Brown bath oil (really for me!)
Ted Baker coin tray because I'm sick of his coins falling out of his trousers
Storm glass, has little crystal things in it that predict weather, completely pointless but he liked it Smile

CharleyDavidson · 17/12/2016 19:55

Nothing. It's what he asked for. He has already got me my present (a pebble smartwatch) but when I asked what he'd like he said nothing. And it was my job to make sure that noone else got him anything either.

He asked for whiskey rocks (stones you freeze to chill your whiskey without diluting it), a herb rack for the garden and posh stationery as he just started a course.

Parker231 · 17/12/2016 20:54

We have never bought each other anything for Christmas as we go on holiday each year straight after Christmas - it's our present to each other.

KC225 · 17/12/2016 21:34

Trousers (ones he asked for)
Sharknado box set
VIZ annual
Ticket to Ride game (as recommended on here)

Thingiebob · 17/12/2016 21:37

Jar of fave sweets
A multi-tool
An posh oil burner with a few wax melts - he's into lovely smells!

We only had a tenner budget on each other.

Caroian · 17/12/2016 22:53

Oh dear... having watched him once again trying to trim his nose hairs with a pair of my scissors, I've just ordered a nose hair trimmer from Amazon! That has got to be as bad as receiving a vacuum cleaner or iron for Christmas! (It's fortunate that's I've already bought him a couple of other things too!)

mylittlephoney · 17/12/2016 22:58

Pj's
Boxers
Billy Connolly DVD
Red Dwarf DVD
Miranda sings book
Hersheys peanut butter cup mug
Chocolate reindeer
And some other stuff I can't remember.
It's the first year I've worked in a long time. He never usually gets so much but it's been a tough few years and I thought id treat him.

StrawberryMouse · 17/12/2016 23:02

The dreaded Apple Watch and its hopefully a complete surprise. I have one and am not overly impressed but he really likes them.
Pants and socks
He ruined one of my other ideas earlier by booking it himself. Hmm
Maybe aftershave or something if I spot anything nice on offer?

StrawberryMouse · 17/12/2016 23:03

Ooh is there a new game out for PS4? The call of duty thing? He might like that.

justdontevenfuckingstart · 17/12/2016 23:06

A canvas of our present and past dodgies. He loves it cos I couldn't wait to give it to him..

WanderingTrolley1 · 17/12/2016 23:09

Socks
Pjs
Pants
Gin
Maybe some jewellery

Paddingtonthebear · 17/12/2016 23:12

Really struggled this year for ideas!
