Gift ideas for the man who has everything

[Zampa]

I've worked tirelessly over the years to buy DH things he would like but I think I've bought them all now ... Pizza oven, Ember mug, digital notepad. I can't buy him any more shoes!

What are you buying your significant others for Christmas this year? I desperately need some inspo!

I can relate. Things that have gone down well here are:

sheepskin slippers

a cable storage thing, you can get them for travel or staring at home. https://amzn.to/3Rg9po8

A plant

Everything else has been pretty much ignored.

The bean to cup coffee machine I bought my husband for his 50th went down a treat. For Xmas I've got him new airpods and a chilli's coffee mug so far.

I got DH a portable power bank charger last year, wasn’t sure it was going to be a dud with him but I was all out of other ideas, fortunately he loves it.

Thank you! All valuable inspiration!

Definitely going to get him a plant and new travel mug (as I've broken most of them by leaving them on top of the car and driving off).

@Zampa What's your budget?

A few years ago my OH was given a lemon plant as an Xmas gift. I saw it at Tesco for £20. There was 20 lemons on it, £1 per lemon.
The lemons were used for G&T, and the plant did not die as expected.
In the spring, the plant produced flowers which made the room smell like sweet lemons!
It lasted for 3 years and was a gift that kept on giving

The last good present I bought my dh was a' i watch a couple of years ago.

Since then it's posh vodka (he loves vodka but won't spend money on grey goose). Pants and socks

For the right thing, I'd go up to £500 for his main present. I've already written off a mini projector but was considering a record player.

Have just bought a Circular & Co travel mug thanks to @Floofydawg.

DH would love this! I don't really want to have to throw money at the problem so this could be perfect for the plant idea.

Experience day ticket?
Driving a super sports car?
Helicopter ride?
White water rafting?
There is hundreds of them , depending what he's into.

You would have thought that would be a great idea but he just ends up not using them as he/we are so time poor.

Thanks for suggesting. I appreciate all the help that I'm getting and DH now has a lemon tree being delivered.

I feel your pain. That's all I have to say. There are presents still in the bottom of his wardrobe untouched. Everything you've had as suggestions I've tried.

Very expensive bamboo, merino wool has been a hit.

This year, I've gone all out and managed to get him tickets for Bruce Springsteen. I'll be cashing that one for at least the next 5 years 😂

I got dh a Gucci man bag for when he goes away for passports, c/cards etc. Also he can never have enough nice scarves for the winter.

Is he a wine lover? I’ve looked at the ETO bottles to keep wine perfect for longer if you don’t drink the whole bottle at once 😁.

Good is always a good one for my dh. I buy lots of the things he loves and package them up. I even buy him pies from the posh butchers

I'm getting ABBA Voyage tickets for mine!

Shoes
Play station charging dock
Guitar rack
Wallet
Belt
Beer gift set
Socks
Sweets for stocking

Not wildly creative.

Dressing gown
Calvin Klein boxers
Vans t shirts
Vans trainers
Some card games
2024 calendar for his office
Bonsai tree Lego
Mini bop it😂

What about an experience?

Comedy show
Spa day
Theatre tickets
Tasting menu at a nice restaurant

Does he like beer or lager. These machines have been a massive hit with 3 people I know. Check out Prefect Draft site.
The cheapest is a bargain as we paid £230 last year, I think it’s because a better model is out now. It’s not the cheapest way to drink but everyone loves it.

Dedicate quarter of an acre of beautiful woodland to him?
(£250)

Aside from getting a warm glow about helping ancient trees and wildlife, you can visit it together forevermore...

Ties in with the lemon tree nicely!
Maybe add some oak and beech wood-smoked salmon, if he likes that?

Some kind of food or drink subscription? Coffee, cheese, marmalade?

A paddleboard (if you live in an area you can use it). My husband loves his

I'm getting mine a pressure washer. Because I think we need a pressure washer. He'll love it.

Thank you everyone who's responded. Your help has been invaluable!

@Lamentations Your rationale for the pressure washer is similar to mine was when I bought the pizza oven!

@ICantGetNoSheep DH went paddle boarding for the first time this summer and loved it. I did think about buying a SUP but it would only get used once or twice a year and they're more expensive than I anticipated!

@AdoringDavidAttenborough I'm going to try and sort childcare for a weekend in 2024 for Abba Voyage tickets!

@teenysaladandsniffofarose A calendar will be going into DH's stocking. Cheers!

@ArthurChristmas22 Enjoy Bruce! I've bought DH some merino underwear which I hope will go down well (not a euphemism!).
