Gifts for the man who has everything!!

[clpsmum]

Any ideas very greatly appreciated

[cheeseisthebest]

Following as have same issue!

[clpsmum]

They're so bloody awkward aren't they? So much easier to buy for women!

A selection from www.indianpickle.co.uk/

Popular with DH and both our dads last year. We have reordered twice as they're so tasty.

I struggle so much every year for my DH, Dad and brother. I see some amazing ideas but still nothing they would like/ use. I would love to get them sorted early this year but I have no ideas so far

Just had a quick look and they look lovely Food gifts are always a good one

Subscriptions maybe to special interest magazines?

[TerritorialPissings]

I know it’s a bit pricey, but I got my husband a paddle board last year and he was over the moon

[ActonSquirrel]

Ask them. You know them. What do they like? Hobbies etc

[IggyAce]

Some hits over the years:
Wallet Ninja.
How to be a curry legend kit from The Spicery.
Paddy & Scotts coffee bags.

A couple of things that were joke presents that went down well:
Back scratcher.
Car bin.

[ActonSquirrel]

It is so personal: the Indian Pickles look vile to me. Find out what they like to eat, do etc

[DoucheCanoe]

Do they need presents?

DH and I agreed a long time ago that we don't need gifts as anything we want/need we tend to save for and buy ourselves rather than waiting around.

Maybe a magazine subscription, vouchers for favourite bar/restaurant, some hobby equipment?

I just ask people what they want (male or female) to avoid wasting money and adding to a pile of unwanted/unused stuff.

A box to put it all in?

Get them to choose a night away doing something fun, then pay for it a bit like buying an 'experience' but less restrictive. "I want to go to Diggerland" - book a hotel, pay for two tickets. Ta-da!

Failing that, a mug, a jumper and a hug.

Or a drinks cabinet that looks like a globe!

[Suprima]

What would you buy for the woman that has everything?

There is nothing wrong with buying a man a lovely sandalwood candle, nice smellies or merino blend socks.

@MrsHookey

I did get my Dad a magazine subscirption last year which was a hit, I think this year I will re-new the subscription

[FeelinSpendy]

Is he interested in history? Vintage photos, postcards or travel posters of favourite holiday spots or the town they grew up in/live in now tend go down well as they're thoughtful and interesting.

Penicillin?

[NotWanting]

Stuff from Molton Brown
Flying lesson
Silver coin from favourite film
Weekend away
Days out to RAF museum
Driving experiences
Clothes

[mrspiersmorgan]

If he likes reading the Booker Prize book from the year he was born.

[Wishihadanalgorithm]

A newspaper/ number 1 record from the day he was born.
Theatre/concert tickets.
Food subscription
Cookery class
A good bottle of whiskey
Sporting equipment/clothing

[clpsmum]

Some fantastic ideas thanks everyone.

Special mention to the helpful souls who suggested just asking him, if I wanted to do that I wouldn't have posted!

[doodlejump1980]

My DH is really into mountain-biking. I got him some “otter” waterproof socks in his stocking last year and he was delighted!

[SheldonandAmy]

I'd go for an experience:

• Theatre tickets
  
• Hotel break
  
• Golf
  
• Car racing/drive a sports car etc.
  
• Family day out or annual pass
  
• Michelin star tasting meal
  
• Afternoon tea

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

Penicillin?

hehehe

What is his age and your budget?

These are things I've bought DH in the past:

• A man tin
• glider experience
• learn to fly lesson. (I chose the 4 seater plane, so I could go along too)
• BBQ smoker
• oyster shucker
• use those prank gift boxes

[PlanDeRaccordement]

Instead of buying things that will end up in a landfill, think about membership in or donation to a charity that does conservation of natural resources. Maybe plant a tree in his name.....etc

[CherryLeaf]

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles that pranko site is amazing! Literally had to bite my lip to stop laughing as I’m trying to be quiet to get DD to sleep. Brilliant! Just wish there was a uk version as the delivery is huge, brilliant idea though!
