The “I don’t need anything” husband gift thread

Does anyone else have a DH who is practically impossible to buy for? He doesn’t need anything, doesn’t want anything and I have no clue what to get him.

He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t like sports. He sounds horrifically boring but he’s not I swear Grin

What are you getting your impossible to buy for DH?

I've just bought my DP a retro game console it has 21000 games on it.

Backatsquareone · 29/11/2020 17:45

@Ladymuck111 do you have a link for that games console? My DH might like one too

Backatsquareone · 29/11/2020 21:46

ladymuck111 · 29/11/2020 22:43

You're welcome. I'm excited about this for DP. If he doesn't like it. I will.

@EvilPea

Thank you thank you *@ladymuck111*
You are welcome!! I came across it by chance the other evening when I really couldn't find anything for DP.

@ladymuck111 love paperboy! Me and DH were only talking about old commodore and spectrum games a few weeks ago. This will be brilliant!

I keep looking through the lists of games and spotting ones I'd totally forgotten about. Like Daley Thompson's games!! One of my favourites as a kid isn't on there though and no one ever seems to remember it. It was a game called Attik Attack and I used to spend hours playing it.

FoxInABox · 01/12/2020 10:35

@ladymuck111 ive just watched a YouTube video of our and can’t say I remember it either sorry. Gutted it isn’t on there for you. So many brilliant games as well!

LadyCatStark · 01/12/2020 12:03

I’ve just bought DH a skydive!! I’m excited but nervous now 😖

No one ever remembers it. I was THE best game ever.

HoollyWugger · 08/12/2020 11:12

Ffs, I thought I'd found a really good gift idea for walker/photographer OH - then found out last night he's already got one!

Back to the drawing board ...

ILoveYourLittleHat · 08/12/2020 14:11

Lady Muck I played Attic Attack! I was wee so had no idea how you played it. You walked around being a serf or knight or something?

ILoveYourLittleHat · 08/12/2020 14:14

It doesn't seem to have Repton or Dizzy Sad

Yes!! You were a serf. You're the first person to ever remember it.
IsFinnRogersDead · 09/12/2020 10:35

Attic Attack was the one with lots of doors and you had to get the keys, yes? ZX Spectrum.
Ant Attack was another Spectrum game, I've tried playing it on various emulators but it was shit. I'd be worried it was either shit but I was 11 and didn't realise, or the emulator doesn't work, in which case this thing might not.

Yes! You had to collect the keys to unlock doors but all the time you were in the haunted house you could hear footsteps coming up behind you. I loved that game so much. And it was on ZX spectrum. DPs retro console has been delivered and I'm so tempted to plug it in just to check it works 😂

I have just seen it has manic miner and jet set Willy on it Shock
