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

A NFL top that's he's requested.
I'll also get him some Green and Blacks chocolate, and me and kids are Making bacon salt and bacon jam.

Following this thread for ideas! My DP is currently abroad and he doesn't want anything he has to carry/pack so I have no idea what to get him other than a pair of boring old thermal socks!

No DH, but for brother - retro Nintendo 1980s handheld Super Mario Carts game. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08GZ3DRLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8

and a Sherlock Holmes game, book and kit with evidence bits so you can try and solve 10 of the original Conan Doyle Holmes stories. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/2370990074/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?th=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8

and for nephew, mad keen guitarist, part of his is an "Evolution of the guitarist" t-shirt. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00823BN2Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8

I’ve just ordered an ooni pizza oven bundle in their Black Friday event. Was in two minds as it benefits me too, but he has mentioned getting one and I was completely stumped otherwise. He’s very picky about clothes, has plenty of aftershave, doesn’t need anything for his hobbies, has quite a few gigs etc coming up already.

We do one gift plus a stocking. I’ve bought the ooni recipe book to go in that, plus it will have nuts, sweets, a Lindt chocolate reindeer, socks, a nicer than usual shower gel (and any ideas I steal from here).

DD(4) will also choose him something from her - usually a box of chocolates that she fancies

Mine has just had his birthday too. Said he didn't want anything. But I couldn't ignore it so gave him 3pairs of fatFace Landrover socks.
Might get him 3 more for crimbo. He's a bugger for not letting me know what he wants. Men . My hint list is a page and a half long !

I've got my OH a limited edition vinyl and some of his favourite sweets. Also hoping to get him a new coat if I can find one.

Tickets to see a comedian we both love in March
Bottle of nice rum
2 Naomi Klein books
Jigsaw puzzle
Personalised flask

Photo of him and dd on ride at a theme park from her and M&S chocolate from ds

Stocking - chocolate orange, Slippers, chilli sauce, card game, sweets

It's this x

Stovetop coffee maker and coffee beans
Fleece lined joggers
The brightest socks I can find.

Some new pyjamas and a book (this is a Christmas eve tradition), and a subscription to Duolingo Pro because he's been getting on really well recently learning a language using the free version. That's all I can afford but other things he'd like if I had more money include nice kitchenware, antique map themed/decorated stuff, a membership to the local tennis club, or pretty much anything lego.

Thank you, @peaceanddove, that's brilliant. He was such a great author and lovely man.

A pair of deck shoes. The pair he really wants from Chatham suddenly went out of stock during their black Friday sale so I'm hoping they come back into stock once the sale has finished (and aren't discontinued!)

Maybe some chocolates. We are going small this year due to a kitchen refurb.

Have to admit I read this wrong and wondered what on earth sausage aftershave was 😂😂

Surprise trip to Stockholm (staying with his oldest friend)
PJs
Slippers
Man perfume - Penhaligon’s Quercus
Red jumper
Posh Hand cream (he has dry hands from washing them at work a lot)

We have been through hell this year with three failed cycles of IVF and he’s been amazing so I wanted to spoil him.

Such a useful thread - the men I. My life (DH, DBro & DF) are the most difficult to buy for!

For DH:

• ready made Tommy’s cocktail from John Lewis
• couple of books about cars / computer games
• nice box of chocolates (still to buy)
• Lego Technic Ferrari
• Xmas PJs (to match the rest of the family which he will roll his eyes about but wear nonetheless)

Will probably get him some socks and a couple of little bits and pieces

A nespresso machine, a few T-shirt's & a lot of NFL crap/ merchandise he'll love.

Patagonia sweatshirt
Patagonia backpack, I'm sick of him having to carry out sons when we go on day trips, figured he may as well have a semi decent one if he's carrying it!
JM bronze leather
Nice whisky - yet to choose, recommendations very helpful!
A secrid card holder
Zen desk garden

My parents are buying us a bonsai tree (with tools, whatever they are for )

@Fetchthevet

It's just a little novelty item I've got to sit on his desk. It comes in quite a small box, I've not opened it but it has good reviews :)

He's not bothered it's just 'stuff'
What he'll get so far...
A Gil Elvgren calendar for his 'office' area (he doesn't work now but his PC is still set up there)
Nice chocolate, he's on a diet so its a treat at Christmas
A couple of DVD's (old movies 50's)
A copy of The Broons' annual and a copy of Beano annual
If he doesn't blot his copy book between now and then - maybe a kiss under the mistletoe.

We decided to get each other a digital piano for the family instead of gifts for each other, and we might not do that until the new year even. But we've recently been given some old games consoles and I've got him a bargain bundle of guitar hero and some guitar hero games and rock the 80's and Beatles Rock Band. He isn't a gamer at all, but did like those games at friends houses when it was current and was keen when I mentioned we could get it when we were given the old consoles. We will do stockings too.

A watch he has been looking at each time we go the shopping centre. It will be our 20th Christmas together so will be engraved on the back. Just need to decide on a message.

Time flies when you're having fun?
