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!!!

He's not really bothered about London - we don't live there so it doesn't have any resonance for him!

We also don't have wall-space but that a whole other matter...

@TragicMuse but you could go and look at all the Brutalism?

I'll be trying to find black moleskin trousers in a 36" leg which are a normal price and not utterly ridiculously expensive.

A jumper, chocolate, some CDs he's into, some books, maybe gig tickets if there's anyone he wants to see.

It's all also complicated by his birthday being 2 weeks before Christmas.

Honestly, he's wonderful and impossible!

We could, but it's just not his thing!

He is truly impossible. Conversely he's an excellent present giver. But he just doesn't generally have wants, he's not acquisitive at all.

Bag or wallet or washbag made from recycled inner tubes / lorry curtains from a social enterprise supporting people in Malawi? I've got the second two items, angling for the first for me for Xmas!

Voucher for a lovely meal out with good vegan options

I'm not being defeatist btw! There will be things. But it's hard and it takes time and prompting.

He's also really self-effacing and puts everyone else first. I like to treat him because he's a genuinely awesome person and I adore him...

I'd love that. For him, that's a no! He doesn't use a wallet. Or wear a watch. Or use a bag.

Aaanyway I'm going to stop thread-jacking!

Back to @whosaidtha

Mine is hard to buy for this year I got concert tickets, other things he liked were headphones, speakers for his pc voucher for his hobby his favourite tipple
Premier soccer tickets ( but that was for a big birthday

Nice vegan cheese does not exist.

You guys are great. I've bought him one of those mystery Things and I'm looking at nice coats/outdoor clothes.

He's vegan so no food products??

We're vegan, we eat food all the time.

What about VeganKind shop or Animal Aid shop where they sell nice vegan foods?

You could also go for one of those fancy non-alcoholic beverages.

Nice set of cups for tea or coffee?

Tyne Chease are amazing at vegan cheese rounds made from cashews.

Amazon (I'm sure they're available elsewhere!)

Snap! They are amazing. I love the truffle one! I eat the whole thing to myself in one sitting.

It's nothing like other vegan cheeses.

Biggest success - a bat detector, a day of falconry, a box of non alcoholic beers

my suggestion is a cat

There is a great range of gifts on the ordnance survey website
we have a local vegan deli who do great hampers - if you’re in south east wales let me know!
the marvellous maps range is great too

Some low impact clothing - I'm guessing that if he is vegan, he'll appreciate the low impact/sustainable philosophies of somewhere like Howies, Pantagonia, Rapanui, Thought, BAM, TenTree, People Tree.

Not sure a vegan would appreciate a cashmere scarf

This might be good, if he has a favourite walking area shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMItayB7_Or-wIVh6ztCh2P0g_dEAAYASAAEgJNjvD_BwE

Shamelessly place marking for ideas!

Honestly Tasty vegan cheese is really good. I particularly like the 'Blue'. I'm ordering their Christmas selection now actually as this thread has reminded me to do so!

@whosaidtha I'm sorry but you are wrong. 99% of vegan cheese is awful. But Tyne Cheeze is AMAZING. Try it.
