Don't celebrate Christmas (and Hannukah isn't really fussed about as it's a minor holiday in a religious context) but I always buy a holiday gift for DH. He is hard to buy for!

Past presents are generally jumpers and shirts and cufflinks (he didn't like them cos they were personalized) and Conway hall concert tickets. Would like to be a little more creative this year. He likes classical music (but is picky about composer/quality etc, plus has far too many CDs from Foyle's), coffee (worships Caffe Nero but rejects all offers of coffee vouchers), art galleries (I don't like them as much and so wouldn't buy a membership for myself; we spend all weekends together, what would I do if I bought him a Tate membership and he was at exhibitions; I wouldn't mind waiting for him but he would probably prefer me to join him plus he is very picky about artists too; I once booked him one of those modern art type audio visual exhibitions and he walked out). I have given him cinema gift cards but he doesn't like them either, as I think he lost one in the past.

He loves eating and cooking. However I am not sure I want another gadget in our kitchen side eyes abandoned soda stream machine and I already bought him a £65 Zweilling knife for his birthday and we already spent over £250 on posh pots from the same brand this year. I am not convinced on ice cream makers.

I thought of just taking him out to eat but I really do prefer physical gifts. He doesn't like massages either.

I am not making this easy, I know but any suggestions would be great. We live in London if that helps

@toolazytothinkofausername I bought him a jumper! Going to buy him a steam train experience too (he loves steam trains) but nearer to the date as the December dates have all been booked and I am a bit iffy about whether the new variant might mean return of more restrictions in the new year...
