Husband help

whosaidtha · 13/08/2024 13:01

I'm asking for help with my husband as you were all so helpful last year. (I ended up going with a guided mystery to solve while walking round York)
I need something for my impossible to buy for husband. I'll lay out my problems:

He hates stuff.
He doesn't drink
He's vegan (I always fill his sticking with vegan treats so no more food)
He doesn't have any hobbies really

I'm really struggling. I am getting him a photo calendar and some vegan chocolate but totally stuck on a main gift. Would like to spend around £50 but can go a bit higher if I'm positive he'll like it.
Please help!!

A dog? 🐕🥹

I would say a weekend away somewhere lovely, with walks on doorstep and a kids club. Lake District, highlands, Yorkshire.

No dogs!!
I'd love a weekend away but with the kids and everything it's a little over budget.

Does he actually want anything? Sounds like he’s got a few things to open with food and a calendar. He might just be happy with that, seems a shame to get him something for the sake of it when he has a pils of unused presents? You could then get him something for the garden when it’s planting season?

Oh a lemon tree sounds brilliant. I would love one myself.

Someone on the bargain thread mentioned bone conducting headphones which would be a nice thing to go with an Audible subscription.

Could you get him tickets to a live recording of a podcast he likes?

Dazedandconfusedma · 14/08/2024 17:26

Failing that a bj :-)

Vegan camp out tickets? They have lots of talks there which might feed into his podcast habit - it is over your budget though and could be expensive if you went as a family-

Lovely meal somewhere like this?

Maybe he doesn't like it up his chuffer!! 😂

A couple of years ago, I raided DH’s photo albums and took a few photos to a clothes printer (one of those places that does stuff for company giveaways). They lifted the important bit of the photo and did transfers for me.

I got him two t shirts (1 x Favourite car and 1 x favourite plane) and one cup with his now deceased parents on it. The car and plane were cropped out of the background for the transfer and The parents photo is where they are at the side of the frame so the scenery behind it could be stretched around the cup.

DH got me one of these last year and I loved it!

A new cover for his iPad/kindle.
A back rest reading cushion.
A sports kite.
A recipe kit - rather than just a book
A yoghurt maker.

Have you got kids? One thing that went down v well with DH was a framed sketch (taken from his favourite photo) of him and DD for his office.

Edited to add:
Could also work with other family members or animals...

Edited

Are you able to share the link for where you got the sketch? I think this is a great idea for a present
