Into cocktails but has all the gear. Also a bit of a Star Wars sci-fi fan too. But has most gadgets. Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks

Is there a local gin distillery nearby to where he lives that you could get tickets for a tour/tasting/cocktail making session? Could also make a fun date night if your brother in law wants to take someone along!

Never buy for any of mine

ALittleBitAhAh · 02/12/2022 20:28

I've bought one of mine a tumbler from The English Pewter Company.

ALittleBitAhAh · 02/12/2022 20:29

Nothing.

SingaporeSlinky · 02/12/2022 20:35

Star Wars Funko Pop figures?

CoffeeChocolateWine · 02/12/2022 20:36

Nothing. We don't buy for adults on my side of the family so I wouldn't buy for my sister's husband, and my DH sorts out something for his brothers from us both, but it will generally be a joint gift for their wives as well.

maddy68 · 02/12/2022 20:36

I would get a bottle

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 02/12/2022 20:37

Nothing. We don’t buy adult gifts.

thistimelastweek · 02/12/2022 20:45

Craft beer.

The go to gift for men you don't know well.

Like it or not, they always pretend they do.

Cos it's beer and men are meant to like that.

GettingStuffed · 02/12/2022 21:54

I've bought mine a star wars mug that changes colour

smalbert · 02/12/2022 21:58

I don't buy for my side as we all have children. For BIL on my husband's side we have bought the Brewdog 12 days of Christmas box.

AppleandSpice · 03/12/2022 11:26

We don’t!
We cut costs a few years ago as it was getting ridiculous the amount we were spending on extended (large) family.

neonleopard · 03/12/2022 19:12

Under armour tshirt and socks - good deals on Amazon.

FlutterbButterfly · 03/12/2022 20:06

Come on guys, it's obvious that OP does buy for BIL, it's not unusual and not strange! If you don't just scroll on.

This year DBIL is getting a cool fudge jar collection. In precious years its been a bottle of spirit, mini hamper, food thermos for work lunches (manual worker) .

ShowOfHands · 03/12/2022 20:09

We do a secret Santa and I drew bil. I've bought a fire glove, tie, weird socks for his weird shoes and a dartboard. All things he wanted.

SheldonsShoulder · 03/12/2022 20:14

My BIL loves curry so I got him a 3 month curry club membership last year (where they send you a different curry recipe by post each month) and he loved that. He usually sends me a link to his Amazon wish list so I can buy stuff he wants/needs. What other interests does your BIL have?

purpledagger · 03/12/2022 21:50

well, technically it's OHs BIL...

gloves - the gift of warmth.
