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?

A surprise family Centre Parcs trip for the start of the winter forest lights 😊 he hates the start of January and always says that he wishes we were away on a trip somewhere instead. DH loves CP and has been desperate to get back with our pre-schoolers so I know he’ll love it 😊

Mine usually just gets himself what he wants when he wants it - he doesn't use after-shave/nice smelly toiletries (much to my disgust!), doesn't like spirits that much, refuses to let me buy clothes for him, in short, is an absolute nightmare to buy presents for! I'm delighted today as a friend suggested a mini 3-D printer which is something he's never shown any interest in but which I am hoping he will quite like!

Usual underwear / socks aftershave
some trainers and t shirts that I know he will like

an expensive gas BB gun and accessories that I know he wanted - cost around £500

Voucher for a restaurant he likes
Aftershave
Pajamas
Will also get:
Boots toiletry set
Possibly a bottle of something

I love the pillow idea. Everyday luxuries x

Dh asked for a replacement wedding band (both lost ours years ago)

Also got him a heated throw, some waterproof socks, and a bottle of his favourite spirit.

We don’t normally bother. However, this year I have bought him a selection of his favourite biscuits and chocolate. He’s got a habit of saying he doesn’t want any when I do the shopping. then eating more than his share when I buy family treats.

Hermes Terre d'Hermes
Opinel bread knife
Service Works apron (he loves baking/cooking)
Book of poetry
Christmas lingerie!

A tracksuit, expensive boxer shorts he wanted, pyjamas, alcohol, favourite chocolates.

It’s my first Christmas with my partner (we’ve been dating for around 6 months) so I’ve just got her a few small bits - perfume, a jacket she wanted, a new wallet because she needed one and a gift card x

Main gift a bean to cup coffee machine for holiday home. He always misses his coffee first thing on holiday. Stocking will have Amaretto coffee beans, milk frothing stainless steel jug and milk thermometer, pants, socks, Dove for men, giant Toblerone, a book, T shirt, gel ink cartridges for his Waterman pen, wallet, bottle of Captain Morgan's and handkerchiefs because he refuses to use tissues unless he has a cold. Oh and an insulated travel cup.

Travel bag for cables/chargers (from Stackers) because it drives me mad that noone else ever remembers their chargers then hog mine on holiday (so this is really a present for me)

ticket to climb the o2

A new diary

ive spend a fortune but it’s SO boring. We’ve got tickets for Springsteen, Coldplay, oasis and Lana del Rey for next year, I should have surprised him with one of them instead of us splitting the cost. He normally has a ‘main’ present (I know, we’re not kids but it’s what we like) and I’ve just really struggled with what to get this year

We've bought tickets for a show we want to see as our main gift to each other - but have also wrapped up a book, some new pjs , thick socks and chocolates to have something to open on Christmas morning 😊

Drumroll for romantic gift of the century......... workbench/ tool store from B&Q

And so he has something to open.... some Japanese whisky, a book and some shower gel. Might get him some trainers if I have time this week.

Running shoes from me, bluetooth keyboard for his Ipad from our daughter

A pack of socks, a bottle of chestnut liqueur, Christmas coffee, Christmas beer and a couple of CDs.

So far his stocking is a bottle of beer, some coffee and a phone stylus.

This looks really pitiful written down though. I know I need more stuff for his stocking, hopefully a visit to poundland will bulk it out.

Thank you, really hoping he's pleased. He literally has everything already so all I can do is get him luxury upgrades. His real passion is state of the art tech, very specific, but I have no idea where to even start with that!
