If so, what are you putting in it this year? I've asked him for suggestions and he just shrugged and has offered none as usual...got zero ideas atm. I give him lots of ideas for mine haha.

No, for the simple reason my husbands birthday is very near Christmas. He would end up with a ridiculous amount of gifts and it would get pretty expensive.

I do stockings for absolutely everyone, inc DH.
I think it's my favourite part of getting ready for Christmas. And he says it's his favourite part of the day before the chaos begins:)
DH, always a chocolate orange in the bottom.
And last year, I think it was:
Bathers, (were not in UK any more, sob)
A pen and mouse mat from his soccer team' s gift shop - (this year they had darts flights and stems - absolute win as I also always put in something darts related).
Cufflinks, as always, the more unusual the better.
Socks, same criteria.
A tape measure with that laser line feature-thingummy. I always include a gadget.
A paper plane kit - he likes something childhood related that makes him smile like a wally.
Chocolate coffee beans.
And something you wouldn't want to open in front of the family....

Last year was the first year I did one for DH. I will again this year so will be following for ideas.

We do them for each other and last year dh's had fancy socks, mini whiskey, small bottle of port, toblerone, Tom Ford travel size aftershave in his favourite scent, anthropologie mug with his initial, anthropologie whiskey glass with his initial, L'Occcitane shower gel and soap, scratch card, dark chocolate cherry liquors, pork scratchings

I will do similar this year I reckon as he loved everything and used / ate it all.

He did a fantastic one for me with loads of my fav things in it inc mini champagne, Leonidas chocolates and jewellery

The stocking are becoming our main present as we put higher end things in them.

We both lOVE getting them. Dh never had them, or much of a christmas, before me so it's all been a revelation for him!

Always I include…
A paperback book
Some marzipan or choc ginger
A puzzle of some kind
A pen they disappear in our house
Bedsocks (he is85)
Then odds and ends I pick up when I see them.

I do. I usually get his favourite sweets (M&Ms and Reese's peanut butter cups), some socks, guitar picks or strings, boxers, Jack Daniels candied pecans, small bottle of whiskey, usually a daft game or novelty book, things like that. I love doing stockings more than big presents! My Mum used to do brilliant stockings, they were the highlight of Christmas!

I always include a cricketing magazine.

Franticbutterfly · 06/10/2021 07:46

My DH loves taking cbd oil before bed so I have a couple of bottles of that for him.

I’ll be doing what I’ve mostly done for DP and the DSs, a Lindt choc Father Xmas and a book. When the DSs were little I used to put more effort in to Christmas stockings but these days they’re all mizzogs about Xmas. 🎅🏼

I like an Advent Calendar too but the teens are too grown up for them unless I do them one with chocolate liqueurs in it 🤨😵‍💫
