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!

For my DDad, who's just started a community garden and takes huge delight in the tiniest developments in his plants:

An avocado vase

For my DP, who's just started retraining in carpentry and woodwork and is utterly in love with it:

Some classic woodworking books like this one and this one

A nice moisturiser from Kiehl's (because he's always asking to use mine)

An insulated coffee cup for early mornings on the way to school

And a lightweight vintage leather toolbelt to keep his stuff safe on him (his school isn't in the nicest of areas and he's always got one eye on his tools in case something 'walks off on its own').

And for DSS15, who's got into sports in a big way recently,

A new set of boxing gloves
Some resistance bands and a chin-up bar to train at home
A snack box from Japan
A new cologne
Two tickets to the local aquarium, so he can take his girlfriend on a different kind of date

Then I'll top things off with some stockingfillers: bars of Tony's Chocolonely, socks, a new keychain for DP, a little set of hot sauces for DSS, etc etc.

Haunted House Lego off me
Rafaellos, cashews, fav treats etc off DDs

Can I ask if the Bill Bailey bird book has pictures/photos in please? Thanks.

Yes it does, on nearly every page. They look hand drawn, probably from Bill himself

Whiskey and whiskey stones
Books I think they'll like and hope they haven't read
