Ugh, I've got family trying to get me to give them ideas for what to get dp for Xmas but all of my ideas are out of people's price range and I struggle with ideas for him anyway!

I've got him; a T-shirt, a 3D puzzle, a pair of trainers and a board game.

Only other ideas I've had is kubb (game), which is £35 and I think people's budget is more like £20, and a coffee machine but they're obviously quite pricey.

He likes to build things but has all the tools I can possibly think of (and the ones he doesn't have and wants are mega £££), he doesn't read. He occasionally plays games on the switch but hasn't expressed interest in anything (he's bought himself any he wants). He doesn't drink alcohol. He loves caramel lattes and marvel (but has a fair bit of marvel stuff), loves a bath but isn't fussed about nice bath stuff.. I'll add more interests if I can think of any that could work, but he doesn't really like 'stuff' 😩, he has very few possessions..

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I've nc as details about him/what I've got him could be outing?

How about a moka pot instead of a coffee machine.
A bottle if his favourite coffee syrup in caramel or a small set of mixed coffee syrups from Monin.
A hand held battery operated milk frother.

Or a set of spikey physio balls/ trigger point back massager. Amazing for anyone who works at a desk or does outdoor graft or has any tight muscles including sore feet/ planter fasciitis.

Could they get him a different t-shirt or puzzle if he likes those? They're both things you can have more than one of.

Could family club together to get him one of the more expensive ideas you have?

If he likes coffee has he got a milk heater/frother? We got one from aldi for about £20. It's great for lattes and hot chocolate.

A decent thermos for coffee? I love my contigo one, stays hot for hours.

Selection of cheeses, with cheese biscuits and a chutney.

Thanks very much for ideas 😊

We do already have a milk frother. I did think about a coffee gift set with syrups..

Another puzzle is a possibility 👍

He does get a really bad back (manual labour job) but I got him a back massager a couple of years ago and he doesn't use it much! I'll have a look into spiky physio balls.

He does like cheese and crackers, but is picky about the kinds of cheese - I'll look and see if there are any sets that don't include ones he doesn't like.

Annoyingly they're all different sides of the family @BadgerLovesMash so not likely to share a gift

If he likes to build things could they buy him classes in something he's not learnt yet? They could send you the cash and you organise the block, each present would cover a lesson and combined it would be a whole course.

I've definitely got to the point where I've exhausted all my gift ideas with my husband so having to start going down the classes and day trips route

OP as this was last year's thread do come back and tell us what you ended up choosing Grin
