Posh booze glasses
Booze
Loads of German beer
Giant ice cube silicone balls
Hotel Chocolate
Chocolate Orange
Different packets of M&M's from The Sweet Factory that you can't get in regular shops
Posh body spay (he doesn't wear aftershave)

He's a nightmare to buy for.

DH is getting:
Tripod
Choc orange lindt balls
Toffiffee
James May cookbook
A rotary grater (joke present)

I'm not sure what else to get him. Maybe Baileys.

@sameday2021 I got him this leather watch strap as the original rubber one it came with originally keeps getting unlatching. He prefers leather straps. www.amazon.co.uk/OUHENG-Upgraded-Compatible-Sweatproof-Genuine/dp/B088FDJQBQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&psc=1&keywords=apple%2Bwatch%2Bstraps%2Bouheng&th=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1607543419&sr=8-4

A rowing machine which is the only thing he's ever actually asked for and his request coincided with a surprisingly generous bonus from work.

Needed something for under the tree so I've got him some waterproof trousers for fishing and/or golf.

Off the back of another thread it turns out he's never had a stocking (we don't have children and don't do them for each other) so I'm doing him a stocking this year. So far I've got some secateurs, a bag of nuts, chocolate coins and a couple of fishing gadgets. I might get some veg seeds for the allotment. Am isolating now so can't get anything else at the moment and I've given Amazon enough of my money this year! Ooh might see if I can get him a dibber!

@Modestandatinybitsexy

This'll be good as I haven't actually seen it all in one place yet

A glass decanter for his office
An amber and sandalwood candle
Nordic socks
A Ferraro Roche ball
A notepad block that turns into a castle as you tear off the notes

I feel like I need something else but I'm not sure what.

Is it an omoshiroi block? Where do you get such a cool thing?

It's his birthday next week, so I've got him a teeshirt from ds and money towards the guitar he wants.
He did the same for my birthday a charm and money towards my latest tattoo.

For Christmas I've got him
A box of his favourite chocolates
Guitar strings
A guitar maintence kit

Moneys a bit tight this year due to some very unexpected costs attacking our savings quite substantially.

I’ve bought him a fireside tools set as we’ve had a new stove installed and a chestnut roaster with some chestnuts
A bottle of whisky
A thermal travel mug
Chocolates
And a couple of books...I bought my son a book a couple of months ago but DH got to it first and loved it. So I’ve bought him the remaining books in the set!
