A bit stuck for DH so looking to see if I can copy someone else’s ideas!

I am getting

a bottle of Edinburgh Gin Lychee and Pomegranate liqueur
a jigsaw, possibly This one plus my mums old puzzle board
a Peter James Roy Grace novel
the box of 8 of these Solar Lights that I got today in the garden centre reduced from £40 to a fiver !

A treadmill. A craft gin subscription. A wee Bluetooth thing to help find keys, socks, pants and I really do not know what else yet for his sticking.

@17caterpillars1mouse sorry if someone else has already asked - I didn't see if they did. Where's the turkish delight hot chocolate from please? I think my girls would like that.

Ive ordered him a log splitter. It was top of his list.

Copperoliverbear · 07/12/2023 20:52

Fleeces, coat, scarf so he's nice and warm walking the dog lol. X

Trainers, Amazon fire tablet for downloading Netflix etc for break at work (he's been borrowing the kids!), bottle of dead man's fingers, wireless phone charger, new fancy beard trimmer as his is packing in, new ray bans as his are scratched, box of protein bars (work snacks)

Also an hgv driver so may consider the mini fridge for in the cab 🤔

This sounds a lot but split between his birthday (just before Christmas) and Christmas it's not too much. Will get some treats like his favourite chocolate/crisps etc from the kids and to fill his stocking. He needs socks too and I usually get him some craft ales. Lidl had a nice set the other day but he was with me so I will nip back for that at some point.

Bought mine a rugby shirt and Lindor chocolates.

Handkerchiefs, socks and T-shirt for DDs to give him. They’ll buy Toblerone and Fruit & Nut chocolate. Both are skint - Uni- so I’ve bought everything apart from the 🍫

FeltCarrot · 07/12/2023 20:58

Mines a triathlete so he’s getting a desk/stand thingy to put his phone and drinks on when on his bike turbo, flavoured peanut butters for energy and a sweatshirt from Spoke and Solace.

The kids have got him new hair clippers as he refuses to pay for haircuts!

@lucysmam I’ve got some Turkish delight hot choc in my cupboard that I got in Whittards.

FeltCarrot · 07/12/2023 21:00

I forgot, I also got him a bath disco ball as he spends hours in the bath after training!

lucysmam · 07/12/2023 21:00

Thanks @FeltCarrot, I'll head over to their website for a look now, before I forget!

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 07/12/2023 21:04

Bruce Springsteen tickets then some bits, nicer rucksack than he uses for work, new head shaver, that Guinness gadget that's supposed to make your pint nicer and probably some chocolates from the kids!

SoBoredOfWaiting · 07/12/2023 21:04

Trainers and a monthly subscription to Pit Pro bbq spice club

MrsMiagi · 07/12/2023 21:07

I'm going to wrap myself in a bow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm debating a velvetiser, he likes hot chocolate but I don't think honestly he will really want one.
It's a clutching at straws idea for an absolutely impossible person. He wouldn't like any of the ideas on this thread, I'm totally stumped.

Same.

I've got him the sleepy tea bags he likes....subscription to good food magazine....a book.....Confused

PictureFrameWindow · 07/12/2023 21:20

Me too, I'm completely out of ideas! No hobbies, chooses own clothes, doesn't read, buys own tech when he wants it 😨

beachsandseaicecream · 07/12/2023 21:22

A case of cider he liked on holiday in Devon with a matching pint glass...and socks.

ollypollymolly · 07/12/2023 21:24

@yarnwitch I got the family a velvetiser last year and it is been great. DH does all the cooking so part of the deal is that I always make the hot chocolate. And buy the sachets. Could be a ‘house’ present

Snackpocket · 07/12/2023 21:28

Aftershave
A jumper
Winter golf gloves
A bike maintenance book
Pants (novelty ones as I just saw them and had to get them!)

Sorry for link fail. Forgot, I've also got him one of these, thought they looked rather smart.

Mini fridge! He's a HGV driver so I've got one with a USB so he can keep it in his cab. I got it delivered to my sister's work and loads of them have ordered one too

Do you know you can also get heated lunchboxes?

Eyesopenwideawake · 07/12/2023 21:34

A Dremel multi function thingy (no fucking idea, but he will love it!), a new head torch (ditto) lots of the sort of chocolates I don't like and, um, something else I still need inspiration for.
