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 board game, books, nice food, probably a DVD or two. We never do big presents.

@ParkheadParadise Oh - what is this whisky experience in Edinburgh of which you speak ? Any details appreciated - otherwise can google along with the best.

Aftershave, cook book, Whiskey, his favourite sweets (liquorice toffee, curly whirleys & snickers), black jumper, lounge pants.

A new Garmin Forerunner. And some licorice (yuk).

We're scaling back Christmas this year.

A manscaper 4.0!

This is basically a gift to myself 😂

A trip to Iceland.
Adventure map of the U.K.
A camping mug with a goat on (he loves goats).
A pack of cards from the Radical Teatowel Co.
A small saucer for his used teabags which says ‘Old Bag’.
A Finisterre t-shirt.

All bought already- just new wellies to buy as his old ones have split.

Those are gorgeous gifts, my DH also wears Penhaligans.
I hope next year brings better news for you both.

Couchbettato, can you send a link to the 3d photo thing please. Sounds like a lovely gift and dh lost his dad this year so would be perfect x

Classic car experience
Bad boy aftershave
Bottle of brandy
New phone case
Socks 😂

Bottle of whisky
Perfume
Tickets to the opera
2 books: Atomic Habits by James Clear and a cookbook with recipes to try out on his new bbq
Trip to the Lofoten

One year I got him a belly button brush. He used it for his camera lens. One of the girls borrowed it for makeup so it's hers now.
It's the way of the dad, anything nice he got was often borrowed or eaten by the girls (or me).

Dp has the audacity to have a Christmas birthday so I have to think of double presents!

For his birthday he is getting:
Weighted blanket
Journal 29 puzzle book
Self closing travel coffee mug

For Christmas:
Lockpick set
Specialist seat for a hobby he has
Tickets to a comedy show

Thank you @17caterpillars1mouse. Ideal for my OH.

Well I have gone down the route of asking Dh - There is a thing he can put on his bike ( which is now taking up all of my - well to be honest our spare room - - where , if you do a bicycle race with the iPad or so forth - you can take the front wheel off and it makes it seem like bike going uphill

I really wanted that to be a lovely guest bedroom but to be fair over lockdown never used & DH uses it all the time.

Leaves me cold ( bike thing) - but if he likes It I have told him to order it but but it has to be put to one side and put under the tree - can't just have it. I have bought a couple of very inexpensive things to wrap up as well.

New leather messenger bag tonrepkace his tatty one he insists on still using. Hoping a new one will persuade him otherwise.

Intrigued by the lockpick set @Stompythedinosaur Is he a burglar??

Just some stuff he needs but hasn't organised himself to buy.

Got sausage aftershave on the brain, now, mind.

Mine wants a new Camcorder. Unfortunately, due the the worldwide shortage of computer chips. There is no stock anywhere. I had put off buying myself a Neom Diffuser for months because DH never knows what to buy me. We both have pretty much anything we want. Well, until he wanted to update his camcorder. He would have added a bit of jewellery too. Eventually, I suggested to him that, rather than buying things we’re no bothered about just because it’s Christmas, we don’t buy each other presents this year at all and I get myself the diffuser. We buy each other gifts at other times and going ahead this Christmas just seems like wasting money. He agrees, so we are giving it a miss.

That said, it is DH birthday on 22nd. I agonised over what I could get him that he would genuinely like. Then it came to me. A coffee maker that grinds beans, then makes the coffee (not a big shiney, too many controls barista thing). He will enjoy using that. He likes freshly ground beans, but doesn’t want an all bells and whistles thing. Currently, he uses a hand held grinder and a cafetière.

Totally just misread this first line as "Sausage aftershave", @Minceandonions

@penguinwithasuitcase I guess it would be festive....!

@Minceandonions my DP would LOVE it

Oh gosh just seen I wasn't the only one to misread this –RTFT, Penguin!
