smeerf would you or anyone like an Earth Dreams Jenson Button baseball cap ! Back from Valencia in 2007. DH was working on it so we got to go. I use my freebie bag but no idea what to do with the cap.

Sorry no idea where the ! came from.

A backscratcher
A pen with little tool attachments
Some fancy chutneys

Aftershave

Ooni gas powered pizza oven. I know it's not ideal for Xmas unless we want to stand outside freezing but there was 20% off so I went for it. He will like it

Mahabi slippers

Ralph Lauren slim fit joggers

Molton brown black pepper shower gel

Alessi pizza wheel

Godiva chocolates

Considering a thera gun or a curved gaming monitor but that will then be him done!

I have also bought DH an Ooni pizza oven! I went for the wood one. Also thought it might not get a lot of use at the moment, but think he'll like it anyway. Also got him some wood chips for it.

Got him a super warm, padded body warmer and a cosy wool jumper from All Saints.

That's about it for under the tree.

Stocking:

• Tshirt with an obscure reference to a comedy program he likes on it. It is genuinely quite a nice tshirt as well.
• Sleep spray selection thing - he isn't a great sleeper.
• I need to get him some edible/drinkable treats as well and maybe some nice smelly body wash. He doesn't wear aftershave or anything.

I'm feeling quite festive now that he has some things to open!

Well it was like getting blood out of a stone to find out what DP wanted but I am getting him a Mirrorless camera... a nice one but beginners level. He used to be into photography - phone only - but loves posting things on Instagram - so he said it's something he's always wanted but not bit the bullet on.

He's been doing an extension at our house, working 7 days a week and I wanted to get him something special after a stressful year and also before we have a baby (as from then on it'll be dad presents of pj bottoms and a choc orange!).

Imagine a woman coming on here saying her dh had got her an oven for Xmas!!.

My Dh man child is difficult as he just buys whatever he wants throughout the year... such as the ps5 and a new tv

So far I've bought slippers and socks. Although there is a game for the Nintendo Switch he would like and he's also after some headphones.

For his stocking I'll buy a scratch card and a Costa gift card. But other than that I'm stuck!

I went a bit crazy on dp this year. We agreed its our last year of buying presents (apart from a token gift) as we are getting serious about saving next year.

Record player and record
Ysl aftershave
Watch
2 x designer t shirts
2 x books
Wallet
His favourite lush stuff (the mint smelling stuff)
Some fancy dairy free truffles
Trainers

For his stocking
Beard scissors
Reusable ear wax cleaner
Socks
Pants
Mens grooming kit

😂😂😂 omg true!

But this is not just an oven; oh no! This makes FIRE! And is for cooking outdoors. Different thing altogether.

Galaxy chocolate selection box
Golf glove.
As a surprise I have paid for his grandaughter to fly out and spend christmas with us but not sure if that will happen yet.

Fishing stuff and a thermo cup. We have a 50£ budget agreed.
No idea what kind of fishing stuff really, just click on the link he sent and got stuff matching the price

Clothes....2 pants, 2 collar shirts, 2 T-shirt's, socks
Gloves
A blanket you can wear

I know it's all so boring, he's so hard to shop for. At least he needs clothes.....?

Well he bought his main present himself this year (some kind of Xbox thing) so I am just getting him some little bits and stocking fillers:

• escape room game
• a decent bottle of port
• kayaking gloves
• hotel Chocolat selection box
• board game (more for the family really but he loves them the most)

Coffee beans from a local independent roaster

The new xbox disc edition. Our wedding anniversary was in nov and his birthday is in jan so covers all 3, also got him a liverpool tracksuit top and a controller for his phone to play xbox on his phone and smellies. Probably get him something small.to open on his bday and that's him done.

That sounds like a product description from Wish! 😆

@smeerf

We're redoing the spare room into a home office with an F1 theme, so I got him a side table made from the wheel of an F1 car.

@smeerf wow where did you get the table from please?

@smeerf sorry just saw someone else has asked you already!
