and I'm looking for inspiration/ideas.

He doesn't read, doesn't like music, not into sports apart from paragliding. Any paragliding stuff he wants he has already apart from something that costs £600 and is way too much. He's not into clothes and doesn't wear aftershave.

I got him a flight in a bi-plane last year which he hasn't bothered doing and I think the voucher's expired now so not keen to get any more experience days.. Max £100 budget.

He's very difficult to buy for. He's interested in space exploration. I've bought him a history of space flight book for his birthday which is only a couple of weeks before Xmas. That was my one idea and I don't have anymore.

what about a telescope?

A case of wine for you to share

Not sure about a telescope, he's interested in space exploration but I think more the shuttels, etc. He's never shown any interest in astronomy.

He doesn't like wine (or beer).

The best present I ever got him was a £20 foam remote control helicopter toy that he spent ages flying around the kitchen.

A box set of dvds?
The wire if he hasn't seen it.

A weekend break for two?

An astronaut suit?

What about this?

Im getting DH snowboarding lessons.

The 'I want one of those' website has quite good gadgets/stocking fillers for blokes. Think it's just iwantoneofthose.com.

My DH is the same, have resorted to little jokey things and the odd interesting DVD or autobiography!

My DH is the same - this year we have agreed a joint present between us...

In the past I have bought him a Wii, BBQ, and last year a pogo
(more expensive last year) ...digital camera or mobile phone upgrade.....

Thanks for all the ideas.

I'm going to get him this from the site passthevino recommended.

Also a basic pay as you go Nokia phone. He's not into upgrading for the latest model but his current phone is 10 years old with a cracked screen so he could do with a new one.
