I've forgotten to get my DH a present

I'm such an idiot. In all the Christmas prep madness, I've forgotten my DH...
What can I get now that will arrive in time?!
I could go into town tomorrow but I'll have the kids and would rather not face the carnage...

Amazon?

Ineffable23 · 20/12/2024 10:28

What would you get him if you didn't have a time limit? I would start by thinking about that and then adapt/people can help with ideas to adapt.

Next day delivery from somewhere. Depends on what you're looking for really.

TheCheeseTax · 20/12/2024 10:28

You know what to do...

Merrow · 20/12/2024 10:29

Do you have Amazon prime? That should arrive on time - they have "arrives before Christmas" flagged.

NC10125 · 20/12/2024 10:29

What sort of budget do you have?

You could do a voucher for something? Trip somewhere? Night away? Meal out?

MolkosTeenageAngst · 20/12/2024 10:29

Well what sort of stuff does he like? The last day for post to arrive by Christmas is today so you should be okay to order from most websites, just check their posting dates and you’ll likely have to pay for their express option.

Amazon Prime does next day delivery and you still have plenty of time to order from them, most stuff ordered today will arrive tomorrow or Sunday.

Loads of next days still on Amazon. Also, I discovered that I'm seeing someone this evening I thought I wasn't going to see until the new year and I've just bought her a National Theatre voucher. If you're not near London do you have a local theatre? Or maybe tickets for a gig?

Fupoffyagrasshole · 20/12/2024 10:33

Tickets for something or a voucher

i got mine a voucher for a massage - which means he also gets a morning off from
the kids when he goes for it - so a double win

SootherSue · 20/12/2024 10:34

If you book him an experience or concert then delivery won't really matter, you can just print off the confirmation or get the kids to make him a pretend ticket.

MarioLink · 20/12/2024 10:40

Book something online and if you can print the tickets. Wrap with small items like drinks or nice food. Go to town first thing before the crowds?

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 20/12/2024 10:42

Sign up to ASOS premium. I find their next day delivery service is pretty much guaranteed. Unless your DH only ever wears formal wear you are pretty likely to find a decent sweater or hoodie or nice trainers or grooming products there. Some North Face things reduced if that’s his style.

This. Also, budget?

snowmanshoes · 20/12/2024 10:46

Next click and collect?
they are more a department store these days with different brands and items so yes means a trip out to collect but not too much hassle possibly

Iliketulips · 20/12/2024 11:07

If he enjoys a beer or gin, you could get him a Brewhouse&Kitchen event voucher. Clothes, maybe look for click and collect. Raid supermarket and buy any favourite drinks, edible items, toiletries, even a voucher.

AnyoneGotATimeMachine · 20/12/2024 11:24

M&S are saying order by 23rd for next day delivery.

Ikea do named day delivery and also express next day delivery. I ordered stuff yesterday and it's coming this weekend so I think you should still have time.

housethatbuiltme · 20/12/2024 11:27

Well you still have 4 days so not that last minute but how do you forget your DH?

If you want to order online and definitely have it on time then tickets or experience days.

If you want physical stuff Amazon is probably your best bet without leaving the house.

Hayley1256 · 20/12/2024 11:28

Amazon prime will arrive by Xmas eve

evtheria · 20/12/2024 11:29

• subscription: Audible, Spotify, AppleTV, magazine, coffee, NYT, etc. depending on interests
• gift card for a coffee chain or a restaurant. I've just ordered one that will be posted by Christmas, the deadline was 1.30pm, but there was an option to have a digital version
• if you don't mind going to the supermarket, a little bundle of treats like beer/wine, biltong, Christmas nuts mix, chocolates...

Bagpuss2022 · 20/12/2024 11:33

I ordered yesterday from Amazon it’s already out for delivery this morning so not too late get ordering

Gettoachiro · 20/12/2024 11:36

Just Amazon something but you clearly aren't that bothered if you don't want to go and face the carnage for a couple of hours.

AnneShirley18 · 20/12/2024 11:42

Fragrance Direct have a code for free next day delivery today. They're very efficient and well priced if you know what fragrance you're after.

JustLookingThanks · 20/12/2024 11:47
