Rather stuck for dp.
He is outrageously impossible to buy for.
Only likes one brand of clothing, has a couple of nice watches and coats etc.
Previous presents which have gone down well include Bose speaker, coffee machine,
Timberlands, espresso mugs, can’t remember what else.
Little gadgety things would sit in a drawer gathering dust. “Experience” type vouchers tend to expire. We go away for weekends and the like frequently. We have Spotify and Netflix and whatever else for films and music. He doesn’t wear headphones (thought about getting him some for the gym but he hates wearing them so pointless). He doesn’t read.
Booze is an option but boring.
His interests are food/cooking (we have every kitchen gadget I can think of and eat at nice restaurants already so things like voucher for a nice meal out a bit pointless), football, beer, walks with the family, films...
I’m at a complete loss.
I know he would be genuinely fine with nothing and in the spirit of wanting to be nice to the planet I don’t want to buy tat nor would it be welcome.
Things like socks and smellies we just buy as and when we need so not really a present as such.
Absolutely any advice would be welcome, or even just let me know what the men in your life are receiving so I can see if there is anything I hadn’t considered!
Thank you Smile

My DP is the type of guy who buys whatever he wants when he wants. It makes it incredibly hard to buy for him for birthdays and Christmas.
This year he has
2 brand3d tshirts
A expensive polo shirt
A pair of Nike trainers
A dvd fo his favourite series
Lindor chocs
A load of lush bath bombs.

Does anyone know what the machine that makes sauces and creams is called?

I’ve got DH a hand-operated espresso maker. He’s been coveting the one we got DSis and BIL as a wedding present for several years. I’m hoping he’ll be pleased.

Need to get Calvin Klein's and grey goose but I'm full of cold and with a hectic work schedule not sure if he'll get those this year. We've booked a couple of days at longleat as joint present. I'm always hit and miss at present buying for him and I'm not sure what I was thinking this year, though he will like everything, he's more about food and family rather than gifts. I did well last year, he got ugg slippers, Garmin golf watch, echo and clothes. All used regularly and well loved. And likewise hes the same with present buying for me, hit and miss. Though we've had a conversation about waste this week and buying for the sake of each having something to open and we've decided next Christmas we will each book a surprise short holiday for the next year and tell each other on Christmas day were we are going.

I got him a limited edition blitzbokke rugby shirt commemorating 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela. There were only 500 made.
Also got him a nice bottle of Laphroig.
