What are you getting the men in your life this year?

[HumbugWhale]

I have just ordered dh a t shirt to replace a favourite one he bought in the States many years ago that is falling to pieces. He will love this.
Other than that and the usual toblerone/beer I have no idea what to get him!
My dad is also hard to buy for so I just wondered what everyone else was getting for male relatives/partners for a bit of inspiration!

@Flambola

A laptop bag and cable tidy thing Woodcarving mag subscription (he goes to a class) Bidet toilet attachment (seriously)

A laptop bag is a great idea now he's back in the office some of the time.

Gig tickets

@PositiveLife

DP: a couple of t-shirts, some golf balls, golf tees, golf tee bag, plus some stocking filler bits

Dad: not a f'ing clue. He says to spend it on the kids instead when I ask what he'd like 🙄. He has no hobbies, spends his time caring for my mum, they live on a basic state pension. I want to get something but no idea what you but for people who do literally nothing.

@PositiveLife your dad sounds so sweet! Would he like a TV subscription like Netflix or Prime? Or if he’s doing all the cooking maybe a meal kit for a couple of months like Gousto/vouchers for takeaways/ready meals if he doesn’t cook?

My dad is getting money for his warhammer stuff.

Husband em so far a Star Wars T-shirt and a photo frame.

I've got to ask but.... what's so good about the toilet that your DH has requested? Is it one that washes & dries everything?

Or are you getting another toilet installed in your home just for his use?

Can anyone recommend where to get shower steamers? I can only find ones which are quite girlie. Thanks!

I got DH a jumper that comes with a powerbank which heats the shoulder and waist at the back and a fake ooodie

I have gotten Dh swimming trunks that are same brand and colour as our DD's swimming suit is. Pink and red... I w we lei got him same brand towel.

Camping toilet. So glorified bucket really... plus a tent for it.

Personally I prefer the 10 minute trek to the toilet block to use something that flushes...

@VanillaSpiceCandle I wish. Neither of them can use their smart TV and they're both really fussy eaters. Last year I got him vouchers for cheese from a cheese factory 😂 (he liked that cos they like a day out to the cheese factory but covid meant they ended up just phoning an order in)

Oohh shower steamers sound interesting, DP loves a long shower. A Bluetooth shower speaker that cost me £10 on Amazon was his best ever present last year.

For anyone looking for a laptop case, I bought DP this one for his birthday and it’s very good quality. They also have 20% off at the moment with code XMAS21

Had to search out this topic because it's 1st November and I need to think about Christmas. My own men are hard enough but there will be family visiting who I don't know very well and I would like to buy something other than a bottle of wine.
DC both have their own homes.
Some ideas so far
DS1 (25) a thing to clip his phone to dashboard. A set of knives.
DS2 (23) a PS5 game, a set of lights that plug in and go around the tv.
DH (72) a rechargeable LED headtorch for when he's got the computer to bits.
Nephew - a selection of fancy teas,
Niece - some knitting yarn
I like the sound of shower steamers for everyone.

TabbyBeast I got some from Over the moon scents, breathe easy and cool down which is supposed to help aching muscles.

I struggle every year with DH, hard to buy for anyway but also has a birthday same time of year.
I bought him a jumper last year which he really liked (rare occurrence!), might buy same in another colour. A few DIY bits and pieces as a subtle hint. Maybe a more expensive Gin than he'd usually buy.
Then am stuck. Read all the relevant threads and little inspiration so far.

Well I had a wander around etsy and have ordered several sets of shower steamers for sons, BIL, nephew etc. Also got some car fragrance things a bit of a step up from the ones the car wash guys give out.

DP - tickets for a sporting event abroad. Will sort out the travel arrangements later.
DF - will be getting flight simulator xbox game to go with the xbox DM has got him.
DFil - probaby a good brand coat or jacket.

@LayTheTableMabel

Boat lesson & a vintage lamp

You just gave me a great idea. OH wants to do RIB training. I can get him those as a gift. Thanks @LayTheTableMabel !

Dad, RHS book and a biography of Humboldt.
DH, books and coffee
DS1 memory for his Xbox
Still have to buy for DS2 and DSon-in-law.

@TabbyBeast, I’ve bought a load of shower steamers from Bubble and Bathe and recommended on another thread too. I bought my DS some peppermint scented ones which aren’t girlie smelling. There’s also some fun Christmas scents like gingerbread, chocolate which are lovely too and not floral or fruity.

Oh my oh would love those shower steamers! Haven't heard of them before.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, they sound just the job!

A coffee subscription was a hit with dh last year. I might get him another or a subscription for something else.

Thank you too @YorkieTheRabbit for the recommendation! They seem quite a new product so it's great to hear from others who have used them

He's only asked for the grand theft auto remastered coming out for ps5 later this month.

I've also got him:

Tolkiens unfinished tales
The punisher tshirt
Kraken rum and glass
Yu gi oh cards
Pre ordered the new James bond movie on blu ray
Probably getting a cd as well

Oh and some candy Kitten Vegan Sweets

@PetrovYelyenaAndMe

DH regularly loses his wallet so I thought I’d get him an AirTag or similar tracking device. Does anyone have any experience of how well they work?

Just ordered these for my DP. I got him the Tile mate. 2 for £38.
