I know it's only just September but we have a crazy couple of months ahead and I'd feel happier if I had the ideas at least.
We don't spend a lot of money, preferring to buy something for the house (eg a new telly) or an extra trip away. But we do like to give each other a few thoughtful 'bits'.
Usually, it's a book; a bottle of wine/whsiky; a clothing item to replace something be's already got but looking shabby.
Every year I hope I'll find something just that little bit different. It really doesn't matter whether it costs £5 or £100.
Anticipating the usual suggestions:
He wouldn't appreciate an experience gift.
There's no magazine he'd be interested in enough for a subscription.
Gig tickets/theatre tickets we'd buy anyway as and when.
He isn't into renewing tech for the sake of it so is ok for all that stuff at the moment.
Doesn't eat chocolate. Likes the tea and coffee he likes, so not really gift worthy.
He's not a gardener.
He does cook but we have a load of spices, oils, vinegar etc and more cook books than we'll ever be able to use.
His hobby requires specific equipment so sorts that himself.
All suggestions welcome and if they won't work for me, they might her be useful for other people.
