So.. what have you got your husbands/partners?!

[Randomname83738]

Inspired by the “what have you got the kids” thread as I got some good ideas from there…
what on earth have you got your partners/husbands/significant others??

my husband is normally quite easy to buy for, but this year I’m struggling!!!

what have you got yours?

Lego Jaws set!

Very boring here, but it's just been his birthday and he's hard to buy for.

Aftershave
No7 gift set of men's mini toiletries in a travel bag (he travels a lot for work)
Spotify vouchers (his ask)
A bottle of whiskey
Pyjamas

Not very original but aftershave, a jacket, socks and boxers. He's a very, very low maintenance guy. He's all kitted out for his hobby which doesn't involve much gear anyway. Other than that he just likes to spend time with me and the kids, walking etc which doesn't require any special kit.

Other years we have agreed to forgo gifts and have a night away together instead. That's always our preference, but at the minute unfortunately circumstances don't allow.

A hat holder (for his ever growing collection of caps)
Crocs
Gig tickets
A tshirt he wanted
Chocolate

Not much, we need a new tv for our room so decided just to do something small each this year.

I've got him some new slippers - we have tiled floors that get cold!
And a football autobiography that I got from a charity shop.
Will add his favourite chocolate and that's it, cheap and cheerful!

Thus far, fancy wool socks and a laptop. Casting about for a last minute third present.

Aftershave
whisky
T shirts
lego camera
sweets
body wash

An umbrella and chocolate

We don’t spend much on each other at Christmas. He buys what he wants himself and then we prefer to spend our money on holidays and furniture for the house.

Lego
Socks
A big coffee table book I saw him looking at
His favourite jelly sweets

I’m still shopping though so he’ll have a few more bits and pieces

Brand new iPhone

Aftershave

Socks - he requested these and in bright colours /daft logos so I have bought

Bendicks mints

Badedas bath stuff

Tshirt
Theraputty
Coffee scoop and clip
Booklight
Battery storage thing
Cable storage thing
Posh socks
Coffee subscription
Chocolate
Log carrier
Scissors because he keeps stealing mine
Bird feeder
Posh kitchen knife

A garmin running watch/tracker thingy. Boring but he’ll appreciate it.

I got him a new PC game that was on his wishlist.

We're due our first baby in Feb so agreed no presents for each other, but he's done so much for me this pregnancy I wanted to get him a little treat.

Usually I get him aftershave, new shirt/jumper, new pyjamas/dressing gown, socks, chocolates or something techy (i got him the meta quest 3 last year).

Aftershave. A hoodie. A nice pen. A book. A build it yourself camera.

We’re doing small gifts to each other as we bought a house 3 months ago.
Hes got a new jumper (half price in asda) and a tablet holder.

2x books
leather bound notebook
insulated coffee cup
mens toiletries set

I‘ll also get him some nice chocolate too before long.

A VR headset.

It's what he wanted.

I’ve gone mad this year and bought him in apple pad with stylus

Rather niche, but
1, persona 5 canvase art print
2, fallout poster
3, FF7 polygon figure (Barrat)

Guess his hobby 😆

An Oura ring
Scarf
New pens for work
A hoodie

DH is impossible to buy for because if he wants something he just buys it for himself, there and then.

But this year I think I've played a blinder. He's a really poor sleeper so I've bought him a Snooze Band + an amazing pillow, exactly the same as the one he had at our AirBnB recently which he loved (it's from the States and cost me a fortune in import taxes, but hopefully worth it). Also a couple of pairs of flannel PJ bottoms from Fatface and a tin of his favourite shortbread.

OP there's also a thread (I can't link it on my phone!) called "What are you all getting for your husbands/male OHs" which has had loads of responses with some really good ideas on if you can find it, I stole a couple of ideas from that!

DH’s birthday is Saturday and we’re on a tighter budget than normal so it’s looking a bit crap this year. But I’ve got him:

Lego
Shirt
chocolate
An autograph file
Wallets to go in the file
Pin Badge
Fitbit straps
Pens

Neee to get him something from DD as well.

I have a very low maintenance DH and his hobby requires very specific and expensive kit (so that's usually avoided or saved until his birthday)
So far he's got
Nice gin
Unusual Whisky
Couple of tops
Good wool boot socks
Heated gloves as he cycles to work
Various toiletries (he's usually a grab whatever at the supermarket guy so I splurged for some Clarins, L'occitaine etc
He'll appreciate it but would never justify the expense on himself)

I also do him a stocking which will have silly things like some of his favourite sweets, lip balm, beard oil and suchlike. I usually try and find a small.game like Uno or magnetic chess to throw in there that we can all play in the afternoon.
