What are you getting your dh/dp for Christmas? I need inspiration!

[M2T]

Jeeeeeeesus Mum2Ela!! How much do you buy each other??? Hope he is as generous to you!

We only spend about £40 on each other.

[CnR]

CDs being bought by my mum and his mum, as in The Office series 2, See I gave them some ideas, but left none for me. We are also going to party in 3 weeks so gettings lots of new clothes for then. I got him headphones last year!

Oh!I hate all this thinking. May have to be clothes - USC here I come!

[MUM2ELA]

M2T - only really done the New York thing cos my brother lives there and I want to visit him, and Dh has never been too keen, hence the suprise!!

Also, he bought me a lovely Tag watch last year as a sort of thankyou cos DD was born a couple of mnths before, and he wanted something for me to keep.

I didn't , however, buy him anything for his birthday and he didn't let me forget (our wedding was the week before so I was somewhat pre-occupied!)

I am trying to find a watch winder for my DH. Didn't even know what it was until he explained it to me. On a bit of a mission to get something really special except don't know where to start. May even bid on e-bay which I have not done before.

[scoobysnax]

Not spending much in total but doing him a stocking for the first time!!!
Will include some stuff to eat and drink, some books and er... not sure what else yet!!!

[dsw]

I was going to buy DP a dvd player (Cause I want One) and some DVD's. But Car insurance is due, so maybe I will just gift wrap the certificate and let him have that??

[codswallop]

he wants a web cam - hooray! I can chat to ma soeur for hours and the kids can lark around wiht each other

[spacemonkey]

If your dh/dp is into cars, Autocar is offering a free copy of that Colin McRae PS2 game with every subscription, which seems like an excellent bargain!

[WSM]

Actually spacemonkey magazine subscriptions are a great idea for a present. I got DH a 12mth subscription to Good Food Magazine and he loves it, he's a real foody. It would work with whatever your DH/DP likes though from Top Gear Magazine to Razzle !!!

[spacemonkey]

HAHA @ Razzle

[Davros]

What about DVD recorder? Latest thing
Agree about mag subscriptions
Watch winder you might get at Watches of Switzerland (in Brent X, Bond St but prob lots of other places)
Bluetooth headset for mobile phone as it will be illegal to gas on the phone when driving come 1st Dec
I've said this one before, but Digital radio when down a treat with mine for his birthday
David LInley has some lovely things (yes PMarg's son) but I like the fun dice. Get him through Google
MP3 player
IPod (or whatever its called)
Logitech Personal Digital Pen - digitally captures handwritten notes to edit and email £149.99 from www.logitech.com or Dixons
Mine wants books, books, books pref about science/space/flying (I'll get him one about shoes )

[Davros]

Forgot to mention Penhaligons, lots of lovely things, not just smellies.

[WideWebWitch]

I think I'm getting dp this Star Wars game, any good to you SenoraPostophe? But it's for the PC and clearly I have first dibs on that at all times. Wish there was a PS2 version. Does anyone think I'll find this game cheaper than this anywhere? If so, please do let me know. I think I'll also get him a cool daddy t shirt since we'll have a baby by then and that's probably it since we've agreed to put a limit on it this year.

I've had great success buying dh membership to museums etc. If you live in London, a membership to Tate Modern is about £40 and comes with many benefits, like a members lounge - no queueing for food, and priority entry to exhibitions. At times he's had membership to the National Film Theatre and I'm considering the ICA this year.

However, he's usually happy with CD from the list he prepares for me each birthday/Christmas.

[codswallop]

my dh always rips jumpers - so fahri no good!!

[codswallop]

Davros - whats the point of the dice? they should be good fro 65 quid!!

[outofpractice]

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?

[Davros]

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 !!

[popsycal]

so far dh is having
a 'who's the daddy?' t shirt from ds
and from me so far......i need to set the scene first......he is a bril juggler and one of these people who just juggles anything....anyway i found these things called devil's stick which are 2 sticks you hold in each hand then you knid of juggle another stick with them
he will love them. Hmm
we decided that we should only buy smallish things....spent enough on ds....well, I have spent enough on ds...

[popsycal]

Was going to get dh this
copies your sim card as dh always loses his phone and never writes his numbers down..has lost 3 phones this year
nearly ordered it the other day...then he lost his phone!"

[CnR]

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...

[dsw]

Just read bits of this thread I bought a DVD player today foir the Bargain price of £37.49 from Somerfields.

If anyone has managed to get one cheaper please do not tell me as am feeling very pleased with myself.
