DP bought a boat this year Hmm and has been out fishing on it quite a lot. A lovely little shop near me is stocking a really attractive wall hanging with the local tide times for 2022, complete with nice oak hanger. So he is having that.

He’s also sending me a link to a radio that he wants.

MonkeyGoneToHeaven · 27/11/2021 08:47

AnnieSnap · 27/11/2021 16:43

It’s made more difficult for me that my DH says “I don’t like to get clothes as a present”. He has no interest in clothes 🙄

girafferafferaffe · 27/11/2021 16:46

This will probably sound ridiculous but he asked for a pen knife (he does lots of DIY). He sent me the one he liked and it was possible to engrave it. So I came up with a bit of a silly idea of engraving it with 'Knifey' and buying a teaspoon (he complains our teaspoons disappear because he leaves them up in his office) and engraving 'spoony' on it. With a note from dd saying 'I see you've played Knifey-spoony before, daddy!' (If you're a Simpsons fan you'll get it)

We won't do anything else as Xmas is so expensive for everyone.
