Please help with my impossible to buy for husband

[whosaidtha]

I don't know what to get him.
He doesn't like stuff - no gadgets, posters, jokey gifts.
He doesn't drink
Is vegan so no food products
He doesn't have any hobbies really.
Things that have been a success in the past are a laptop tray and headphones.
I need help!!!

Maybe he doesn’t want or need a present? Not everyone wants more and more ‘stuff’. I once made my OH and envelope with lots of cut out paper hearts in it.

he’s still got it.

Can you ask him ?

Does he actually want a present? Or are you getting it more because you want to/think you ought to, than because he cares about it?

A good quality waterproof coat or rucksack?

Or a nice (vegan) leather laptop bag.

Clothes?

He definitely wants a present, he was bit annoyed that I didn't make more of an effort for his birthday.

I have asked and he's says he doesn't know.

Coat isn't a bad idea actually. Thanks.

A wooly hat with an inbuilt light! Everyone on here recommended them last year and sure enough, it was my very fussy DH's favourite present.

Walking holiday where you can take the kids?
HF Holidays cater for vegans and on some breaks kids go free.

On the walking front...
Good quality gloves
GPS watch
National Trust has a lovely book called 'short walks in beautiful places' or something along those lines

Otherwise, how about a nice quality shave kit?

How about one of these?

Mystery Guides

If he likes walking - these are walks where you have to work out whodunnit - giving you a walk around a particular city. It's suitable for children 8+ so you could all go with him (assuming that you're near enough one of those cities and your DC are old enough/would be interested!)

My dh also a nightmare to buy for he's a very simple man. I tend to start a list of things I notice he needs. Like a new phone charger or screen protector/ thermos/ football vest/ tights for cold weather etc and I make up a wee hamper with all useful things. I would also normally do a voucher for something like a date night or a nice dinner out. This year was harder because I'm due any day now so I got things like little Costa vouchers/ cinema voucher - things that are nice to do but don't take super long and he could bring a mate or his brothers to for a break. If he likes walking what about a nice coffee table book on walking routes around your area or a pair of binoculars or a nice compass etc.

Do the vegetarian society have anything? I know you can do a cordon vert course, maybe they have shorter ones.

Walking socks - there are some very luxury ones out there.
Tickets to something, theatre maybe?

Love this. It's perfect for us. Definitely added to the list.

What a joy he is

@DuchessSilver Where did you get the hat/torch thing from? It sounds like my DP's dream gift!

@whosaidtha Where do you live? I can recommend an excellent vegan restaurant if you're anywhere near the Midlands!

socks? shirts? t shirts? jumpers? fleece? basically, any useful things to wear

A perfume studio experience to design your own scent. My DP was so sceptical at first but absolutely loved it.
He wears his fragrance for special occasions :)

Our local Blue Diamond garden centre sell them.

Digital rice cooker
Fitbit
Night away
Terrarium
Nice shirt / jumper???

Thanks @EricNorthmanYesPlease

A Pill-O-Pad if he uses an iPad.

Won't help your DH OP, but for anyone else, my DH had a favourite gift last year! He's into DIY, and loved the £3.50 telescopic magnetic lifter tool from Screwfix.
