Stocking fillers for a dp who doesn't like amusing tat and will tut at non-ethical things

[FrannyandZooey]

it is food, really, isn't it? I can't think of bugger all else

oooooh

I would love that

think dp would scoff

I want to give DH a pack of lovehearts if I can track them down...
NCT do pics on mugs I think... www.nctsales.co.uk/prodlist.asp?cat=71&scat=119

A compass
A leatherman (like Swiss army thing)
Nice pens (I love the uni-ball eye micro)
A massage voucher

Would a pocket kite count as tat? We love ours. It was John Lewis I think but I just looked and they only have a naff Fifi one now.

oh he has umpteen kites and bought ME one for my birthday

Numpty thank you but it was a joke between me and TooT - TooT's dp does wonderful mugs, t-shirts, mousemats etc with your design printed on them

Moondog yours all sound expensive [suspicious] In my book a stocking filler costs about 4 quid AT MOST

am going to go and order fab seeds from fab seed link from this morning

Franny,I have bought up a stack of fab compasses for under a fiver.They are kids ones though.I still love them however. Hang on,will link...

Voila!

DD was given this last year and it was a big hit with dp.
London in a bag and they do country in a bag and other cities too.

yes I love those Boco but would count as tat

he has odd puritan tendencies as far as stockings go

have ordered loads of seeds though, am very happy about that, thanks BadKitten

cheers Moondog what a very nice compass

I used it to fab effect in Sunday school last week to teach kids about using stars to navigate by in rtelation to 3 kings.

You're welcome I hope he enjoys them. Let me know how they go - I might order some for myself sometime. Tried some fabulous purple runner beans this year that had pink flowers (except the beans went green as soon as they hit boiling water)

Minor miracle I could find the link last night though. I had sampled the cherry vodka we made from the neighbours cherry tree. Very nice - very potent. oops!

He must absolutely have a new toothbrush and some deodorant in his stocking and some new underwear! Also - mini pics of the LOs (or LO?) to put in to his wallet?? Small (tiny) book on caring for a bonsai tree? Small book on wines or if he's in to silver, a hallmark book.

last ditch attempt

toothbrush - check
deodorant - I won't buy the sort he uses, it is vile chemically affair
new underwear is organic fair trade stuff he asked for and far too expensive to go in stocking
'into' silver - not sure what that would entail but sounds dodgy

off to check links

Avi that first thing was 50 pounds! The planisphere is fab, what a great thing (even though I know I am actually the star gazer of the family - well maybe it will get him into it? Ds is certainly very interested, especially when I told him Pegasus is up there)

resurrection thing also very good and quite funny. Would make a good Easter present don't you think?

oooOOOOooh @ Mars.

Did you look on Mulberrybush.co.uk, they just sent me their catalogue and is v nice

is woodwork kit on there, maybe would help with floor?

cool, I will be round with coach load of modern art tourists later
