What are you buying for your DH/male partner?

[Minceandonions]

I'm buying my DH:
Sauvage aftershave
A calendar with Japanese art work
A glass tea pot and some Earl Grey tea
A book of John Cooper Clark poetry
A linen flat cap for Summer

The board game he asked for. The massive box is currently in the cupboard. He will just be getting some stocking fillers and a couple other bits and bobs.

Back to the future musical tickets - dd will go with him as it's very much not my idea if fun - plus play mobile Doc and Marty Mcfly for his work desk

Magnetic toast tongs

Big box of fizzy cola bottles

We are not spending masses this year as going away for a week of winter sun at the beginning of September

His main present is a tablet, it's not an iPad so I'm hoping it's ok.

A hamper of lovely treat food

One of those 3d glass laser photos, a photo of his mum on Christmas day many years ago because she's no longer with us.

Lego
Socks (he likes socks)
Small mugs for his Nespresso machine
Dressing gown

Bottle of whiskey
Bamboo seamless socks
Le Creuset milk jug
Hotel Chocolat chocolates
M&Ms selection box
Curiousity cola
Chorizo bites
Lock picking set

My partner is getting a PlayStation 5 plays in when on night shift when he wakes up lol, a celtic dart board cabinet, trainers, and a new tracksuit loves them for comfort on nights also.

A hitherto unknown Douglas Adams book (DH is a huge fan).
Pair of classic, black Dr Marten's shoes (without the yellow stitching).
A Ping golf gilet
Box of Paul Smith socks

A new belt
Boxer shorts
A leatherman tool
Slippers
A beard kit
New clippers
A chocolate and rum bouquet

Glass tea cup with infuser lid
NFL jersey
Notebook
Bird and blend gravity steeper
Xbox game

Considering buying him a recliner chair. He has a back condition and we had one years ago and he loved it. Recently got a second hand sofa for £40 on eBay and he hates it. It's not the best but I don't mind it so might get him his own armchair that reclines.

5 mini aftershaves set North face t shirt VW camper van socks VW camper van thermal mug Bruce Springsteen/Obama book Knife set (he's a chef) Bath and body works make shower gel

@alexio where did you find the mini aftershaves set please? And for how much? My nephew is 16, could be ideal...

@17caterpillars1mouse

I've found it really hard this year

So far I've got him

• a history map recommended on a different thread
• Percy pig pajamas
• some shower steamers
• Bob Ross talking bobble head
• some treaty bits (mint hot chocolate powder, Joe and seph's popcorn, macaroons, Percy pig sweets, Fry's Turkish delight)

Im trying to find him a gin and lemon pannetone and maybe some slipper socks

Ooh, can you tell me what the Bob Ross bobble head is please? My OH loves his painting programme so that may be an idea for him. So far I've got him Bicycle repair kit Bottle for bicycle (he's started going for bike rides this year) Smart jumper (most of his have holes under the armpits) Long tube of Swizzle sweets.

Guardians of the galaxy game for PS5 (big reduction on Amazon rn which is a bonus)
Borg lined slipper socks
Black joggers
Big box of Toffiffee (his fav and I always get it for Xmas/ bday)

Still need to think of a couple more things but I swear it’s been really hard this year to know what to buy.

Which Douglas Adams book is that, @peaceanddove? I'd love to get it for my DS! (And me, tbh.)

My DH would love Back to the Future musical tickets, and the theatre in London is close to Hard Rock Cafe which we love as well. So that’s given me a great idea for his next birthday, thank you!

A mug with DS artwork on it

Not sure what else just yet - probably some chocolate - either Lindt or Monty Bojangles.
