Presents for the husband?

I remember seeing a thread with really great suggestions for presents for men last year that wasn't generic socks, pants or CDs.

Hoping to start another one.

Previous year presents from me that went down well included a card wallet, Polaroid camera and vouchers for new running shoes.

Anyone else got some great ideas to share?

Dp saw a jacket a few weeks ago that he liked the look of but didn’t have time to try it on (catching a flight and already late, I wasn’t best pleased when he slowed to window shop!) so I’m going to track that down.
And I’m going to get him some Bose sound cancelling Bluetooth headphones. Our bedroom is on top of the front room with the big tv and surround sound. I don’t watch films, I tend to come to bed and leave him to it. And then end up listening to the bloody thing anyway Angry

Things like dvds and music are just not presents anymore, in the past I would have got him a boxset too but everything is now available at the touch of a button.

And then a few things I’ll pick up if I see them and think he’ll like it. He’s bloody difficult to buy for, buys himself what he needs and is genuinely not bothered about presents. Handy for me Grin

I know exactly what you mean about music and movies! They used to be my 'go to' presents, but we only download these days.
