@lugeforlife do you have a recommendation for a gallileo weather station please? Been thinking this is also a good idea for my DF who talks but nothing but the weather!

I saw The Red Atlas mentioned on a previous thread like this and bought for my bro in law, he loved it. Cold War maps of Britain.

We never get each other gifts and instead after a glass of wine on xmas night book a nice trip away.

Dh has a culinary concepts octopus bottle holder, some craft gin, Chanel bleu aftershave, prestat coffee chocolates, a Japanese cookbook.

If they’re sporty/ outdoor type, Mountain Warehouse has a really good sale at the moment.

@LostInSpaceRaiders May I know which nose hair trimmer did you buy? DP only liked a specific Braun model that they've stopped making so I'd like to find something else he'll be happy with.

DH
Vans slippers.
rick and morty puzzle.
Mikita coffee machine for his work van.

Dad

Grandad
Singleton whisky.

Brother.

cards against humanity Christmas add on.
retro sweets in a tin.

My dad's so hard. He doesn't do much and can't work at the moment, so the usual tools won't be useful this year. He lives in tracksuit bottoms and has tonnes, same with pyjamas. No hobbies. He can't read very well. He was in the territorial army, and I think he's got most things you can get from his regiment. I think it will have to be a food and drink basket. And socks. Any tips welcome!

DH got

aftershave
Stephen king New book
Dave Grohl book
bob Mortimer book
pair of jeans
and I'll get him jelly babies.

DH - chocolate advent calendar, nothing else as haven’t bought for years.

DS1 - advent calendar, Golf bag + stocking including fancy shower gel, gin cracker, voucher for food outlet, chocolate orange.
DS2 - advent calendar, Overnight bag+ stocking as above

Both sons have good jobs and all agreed to cut right back at they can buy what they like during the year. No need for anymore ‘stuff’.

I’ve got DH some earbuds and some spirit level cufflinks 😂

Dad: we're getting him a photo of all of his grandchildren
A mug and a photo frame made by DS1s school to raise money at their christmas fair. I might get him some slippers also and we always get him a Lynx gift set as he likes Lynx and always says that's what he wants 🤷‍♀️
Dh: a ring Doorbell and new headphones for his PC and clothes.

DF
rucksack
chillys water bottle
book on the lake district

@Noelfieldingsjumpers
Does he have a smartphone or smart gadget at home like tablet etc? Maybe an Audible subscription, the range & quality of books on it is amazing for someone who dislikes or struggles with reading.
Or extra thick dressing gown if he's at home more, with some treats.

Hit post too soon…

Hori Hori - a thread recommendation
chocolates that look like birds eggs - can’t decide if this is fun or a bit weird!

DP
Tarquins gin
Ticket to a cheese and cider festival
socks
T shirt
Stasdock bike stand

I make Dad his favorite dinner or cake. We don’t bother with gifts as such.

I've treated him this year as he's just got rid of cancer!
He's got an E scooter he wanted
Trainers
An outfit he's had his eye on
2 bottles of aftershave
And I can't remember what else
And a traditional lynx set that no one wants but comes in handy 😂

@Whatwherewherewhat I bought that book for DS last year! He loved it!

DH is getting a Lego set, a couple of books (first game of thrones book and the first one of the other similar series!), the smashed grapes wine tasting set, some basic wireless headphones and two shirts from Vinted. Considering a cordless electric screwdriver too!

I finished DHs yesterday

• a book on the complete works of van Gogh (he's asked for this)

• Ask a historian book by Greg Jenner

• a giftbag full of art supplies (some he's asked for, others I thought looked interesting)

• a gift bag of treat food (truffles, sour patch kids, Percy pigs, copper in the clouds lychee liqueur)

• a pair of craghopper trousers

@evtheria thank you! The Audible is a good idea. I bought him a kindle last year and he doesn't use it much, I think he just plays solitaire on it, but he does listen to the radio quite a lot!

Silverstone musuem tickets
Electric toothbrush
Some items of his favourite food eg marmelade and lebcucken.

Possibly something else, not sure.
