Man gifts

[KingLooieCatz]

Keep checking and no one seems to have started a thread on this yet - what to get the DHs/DPs in our lives?

I can repeat some of last year:
Voucher for homebrew shop
Voucher for posh cheese shop
Selection box of posh teas
Magazine subscription pertaining to camping and/or caravanning

Bottle of whisky was an old stand-by but he's concluded after extensive taste testing that he's not that into it.

Anyone got any brainwaves for the men in their lives?

I wish my husband would post a list like that. It would make my lift much easier.

I made a snappy one line compilation of the funniest moments from our marriage and printed it out and framed it.

It's nice to glance at on a rainy day when life feels a bit mundane!

I think you can order it on Etsy as well but I made my own!

That's very good ChocDee I think I'll compile one of those.

I'm getting the Harry Razor set as DH has a wet shave and these razors look quite nice, whisky, socks, pants, blu rays, Ales and a camera lens. I was debating the Lego Ghostbusters fire station but it's the space to keep it when it's done

im getting my dh a book on viking folkloŕe, vikings box set and a viking drinking horn.....i didn't mean to go for a theme it just happened, he will also have aftershave , slippers and a bath set as per usual

....creed have a Viking aftershave....:)

I'm getting him a Swiss army knife.

Is this the GoT tour?

just going slope off to do a bit of browsing badders08

I'm liking the look at the GofT tour....but maybe next year for ds1s b day....

Years ago avon used to do an aftershave and the bottle was actually a glass long boat!! With sails! I'm sure you could pick one up on eBay...

If anyone is interested haig club man whiskey and portobello road gin are reduced to clear in Tesco's express I got 15 off per bottle, under 12 each I paid for them!

A posh hamper of foods just he likes - my dh likes v spicy sauces and smelly cheeses and port and I like none of this.

We are not well off so I have financial limits but I also find it tricky as DH has no hobbies, isn't a reader, etc etc. He still hasn't had his birthday pressie for the end of August actually! Oh & neither of us drink. He does love baking (just remembered I squirrelled away the GBBO Christmas book as it was £2 in The Works) so I could pick up some bits for that.

Used to love Avon perfume bottles. They had a cute little Christmas stocking one year & I remember a butterfly too

@chocdee that is genius - DH would love that and it's so personal and special. Definitely doing that this year!

My DH is a bit tricky but he loves experiences and personal things - and anything related to gin or craft beer. We also always go for a posh and boozy afternoon tea every New Year's Eve while the grandparents looks after DC - shared experience gifts are always lovely especially when you're both mid child rearing and don't get much couple time together.

For people wanting the games of thrones tour if you go to Buyagift they're doing a tour for two people for £80 but if you put in code XMAS98 it brings it down to £60

I enjoyed last Christmas the most in a while, as I had expressly asked for no presents (apart from DC who made something).

There was no stress, therefore, about worrying about what I might be given.

I don't do gadgets, or all the generic 'man' stuff - and it was a relief.

I do accept this view is probably just going to be mine alone

I am going to get mine a Mont Blanc Wallet.... any idea if they ever do sales or there is a go to website that do them slightly cheaper than the official one?

My DH loves Yankee candles. He's eSy to buy for!
Suggestions needed for 60 year old FiL please. Teetotal. Has everything he needs. Sweet tooth but moans about being inundated with chocs. Gym freak. I'm stuck!
