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

bottle of real ale that he hasn't tried before??

LOL we are both teetotal, god I feel boring saying that again and again

lord, frank, you are a buzzkill.

you've got me bang to rights, guv

actually it is 90% him on this particular occasion, I think

I quite like frivolous tat in my stocking

the ultimate ethical chocs - recommended by the Guardian, too

ooh they're already on here Blu and you got a namecheck

oooh, sorry, F&Z -I have read some of the thread, and in fact harnessed some of the ideas!

re: deodorant. Why not buy him a PitRok Salt Crystal Deodorant

(Also noticed that theres a Tongue Cleaner on the Home Page if you want something really off the wall for a stocking filler!!)

I've tried getting him to try different deodorants but he can't stick any of them

in fairness he does cycle about 10 miles in the morning plus a long commute on the train, so he does need to turn up for work a) not stinking and b) not saturated

actually I couldn't get on with the Pit Rok either. I think we must be quite sweaty

LOL at tongue cleaner! If someone bought that for you would you take it as a not so subtle hint?

hana good ideas. What he would like best is a music magazine for people like him (ie oldies who like to think they are still young and withit). The NME is too spotty teenager, things like Mojo are too boring, and Q is just annoying...

you know what Blu it wasn't even on this thread it was on a completely different fair trade chocolate thread

so are the chocolala ones really as nice as they claim? They don't look so appealing to me, the chunkiness of them - can you rave about them a bit and convince me?

why are you doign one for him?
a. he is is fussy
b. he si an adult

I like doing them, we have fun opening them

if I didn't get one for him he might not get one for me!

(ps if being fussy precluded getting presents I would be in trouble)

are you likign doing this?

well this year strictly between us NO you are right

but I am pg and grumpy

I think I have it mostly sorted now though, there were some good suggestions on here

Hemp socks and fairtrade chocolates.

ooh I have got socks already but hemp ones would have been cool! where do you get them from paula?

www.braintreehemp.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=110

I think that is a US site but it is very funny - just hemp things, my god

oh another hemp site

my god it's a whole new world of hemp

I knew cod would fuck off just as soon as I agreed with her
