HELP! Need inspiration for emergency last minute presents for DP. So far I've got him:-

-socks

  • pants
  • a credit card tool thing
  • a new rucksack for work (commuter)
  • a card wallet

It feels a bit nothing-y and naff! What have you got your DP/DH?

We have bought ourselves something for the last 5 years but DH announced he had actually bought me something so I ran to the town centre yesterday and bought him some aftershave. It's the one he was wearing when we met.

PeonyTruffle · 22/12/2018 06:55

A Google home mini and some smart light bulbs, a Superdry t-shirt, a nandos set from Boots, a fab little personalised pouch for holding all his odd chargers and wires, some toiletry sets and chocolates.

He's so bloody hard to buy for to he honest

sazzle27 · 22/12/2018 07:02

Aftershaves
Hollister v-neck "must have" tees
A jumper from Next

And a stocking with practical bits and pieces - cheap wallet as his is falling apart and he only uses it on holiday, whiskey miniatures, password book, socks, boxers, and some naughty bits for us both to enjoy, as well as a bow to unwrap me with (if i can work out how to put it on...practice run went poorly😅😅)

sazzle27 · 22/12/2018 07:03

Mostly essentials as he never really spends on himself and its what he asked for for christmas/throughout the year...
his birthday on the other hand is more "fun related" unnecessities

A chocolate teapot that you can actually pour from (and then eat!).

mumof2sarah · 22/12/2018 07:15

A coat, a game for his console, some smellies, socks and boxers, and chocolate. We decided it was just gonna be one present each this year but that hasn't stuck lol x

MaverickSnoopy · 22/12/2018 07:17

Some good ideas on this thread. I've got DH a Sega megadrive with games (he wanted one but didn't think he'd get one) and a hoody. We also do each other stockings.

We're a bit skint this year so set strict budgets. Usually I'd also get him a box of chocolates and some other bits and pieces too but I knew he'd prefer the Sega over some random bits. The DC have also got him some little presents so he'll have those too.

wejammin · 22/12/2018 07:22

Bottle of nice gin
2 books
New Paul Heaton cd
