Am completely stuck as to what to buy DH for christmas. He has everything he needs. So much so I bought him a day out paragliding for his birthday. He still hasn't used it. He has to get permission form work first.

We're not to flush this year so we've said we won't spend much for christmas. Anyone got any bright ideas. He's a sensitive creative sort. My brain is completely stuck!

I got my dh some golfing tuition as he plays a bit but not enough to be very good.

twirlaround · 09/11/2005 16:12

write him a love poem

DaddyCool · 09/11/2005 16:14

love poem my bum.

does he like whisky? I can't point you in the right direction for a really really special whisky that you can't buy in the shops but is reasonably priced??

DaddyCool · 09/11/2005 16:14

I can point you in the right direction.

DC - what's that (sorry hijack FIL loves wiskey)

Shar - same prob for my DH!

DaddyCool · 09/11/2005 16:20

here

you'll see the front page has an advert for edradour. this is a really special whisky and you can't usually buy it in shops. it's quite an unusual one as well.

£29.95 + pp from this site for a standard 10 yr old which in my books is a bloody good price considering a standard decent single malt is approx £25 in the shops.

DaddyCool · 09/11/2005 16:21

if he's really into his whisky munz, his eyes will probably pop out of his head when he opens it. it's really quite special.

saying that, if he can't handle stronger more unusual whiskies he may not like it. who knows.

NotActuallyAMum · 09/11/2005 16:25

DC I'm sure someone, somewhere would love to love poem your bum

Sharklet I've bought my DP a personalised number plate for his car - bit pricey tho at £250 but certainly different

DaddyCool · 09/11/2005 16:35

DC let me guess:

If you touch my ass
I'll beat you black and blue

Sorry but that's the best I can do at this time of day

twirlaround · 09/11/2005 16:53

Daddycool would you describe yourself as more of a pisshead than a romantic then?

Merlin · 09/11/2005 17:03

watch Richard and Judy NOW! Pressies for men!!

Have same prob so we do one stocking each with no single item over a fiver or tenner. We try to be clever and inventive, funny, sweet, but everything must fit. We include obligatory kiddie stocking type things choc car or cigar, a joke, satsuma and also things we always use, packet of fav ciggies or cigars, new razor, gardening,car,cooking type things depending on interests, a small book, a miniature fav booze and so on. In short i guess the stocking is proof of thought and time and how well you know the other person not about the money and if you can make them laugh. (One year I put in 20 cheap cigarette lighters individually wrapped, we don't normally wrap don't know why)Maybe a pair of pants, socks, a tie blah. You get the idea! You could even put in your love poem as that would fit brilliantly. Sorry for waffling!

assumpta · 09/11/2005 17:51

I have the same problem, but it is for our 10th wedding anniversary. Any ideas?

Rhubarb · 09/11/2005 18:19

A vasectomy

PeachyClair · 09/11/2005 19:12

Dh wants i-tune or napster credits

zippitippitoes · 09/11/2005 19:13

dp wants a psp but he has absolutely no chance of getting anything that costs money, so will have toexercise some inamigntion

manzanilla · 09/11/2005 19:15

How about subscription to a favourite mag (my private eye sub went down really well plus I get to read it too) or friendship of a gallery for a year if there is one near you? Gets you into exhibitions for free and no queues, lovely members' rooms etc.

gigglinggoblin · 09/11/2005 19:17

what did they come up with merlin?

my techie dp loves stuff from thinkgeek , especially their t shirts. its an american site but i have used them before and they were excellent

frannyandzooey · 09/11/2005 19:20

I got dp a session in a floatation tank last year and once he got over the shock / nerves he loved it, so much so that he wants to book a course of sessions! It is quite pricey to go in London but look around near you and you may find a better offer. If you are anywhere near Norwich, there is one there called "I Dream Of Floating" and the off peak prices are quite reasonable.

I think it is the most unusual present I have thought up - people just said "You got him what?" when I told them.
