I've just bought him a fleece and trousers from Boden using the Mumsnet discount - thanks Mumsnet - that's my subscription saved!
A DVD seems a really good idea = except I got him a digital camera for his birthday and he doesn't ever use it - grrrr!
He'll also get a set of wineglasses from Berry Brothers and the chance to read the Michael Moore books I've bought for my mum

I'm with Issymum - my dp is hopeless on presents and finds the whole thing incredibly stressful. I think we'll invest in a new mattress instead

I've bought him a Carltonware cruet set for his collection (don't ask!) and so far nothing else!
Oh tell a lie, bought him the Tony Benn diaries.

one of these . They can be plugged into the tv - you don't need a playstation or x-box.

Well I finally made a start on Dh's pressies this afternoon.

From DD I got him a Times Atlas - he loves things like that, and has beens aying how he is looking forward to helping DD with learning about countries and thing, like his dad did -so that's fine.

I got him so far a CD walkman. Since moving to the city centre he now walks to walk and complains when I say that I have listened to the radio/music in the car. Man in John Lewis was really helpful too and persuaded me to buy a cheaper model than I was looking at, as I really didn't need the extra functions being offered. So now have to spend time finding him even more stuff.

Trouble for me is DH isn't into computers, mobiles and games consoles at all so many of the ideas here aren't any good for him

More shopping next week...

Coddy, no point at all, that's what I like about them! ALso his stuff is gorgeous quality and craftsmanship, I've got an obelisk I campaigned for a couple of years ago and the dice are just another way to own something else from there that's original and fun. I could hang them from the mirror in my Bentley
Outofpractice, I reckon you may be more likely to end up a fag hag than partnered !!

Hi, partnered folks, making a guest appearance to ask a question as these days the only man I have to buy a gift for is my assistant at work (and Dad). My assertive dating book suggests, amongst other things, going to a men's shop in the sales, and if anyone attractive is shopping by himself (what female partner would refuse to go with him?) to start a conversation by pretending to be searching for something for your brother. What men's shops seem to have the most sexy professional single men in them?
