Birthday present ideas pleeeease?

[FatFaced]

It's DPs birthday in a couple of weeks and I'm stumped for present ideas. I'm taking him out for the day somewhere which is his main pressie but I'd like to get him some things to unwrap. Any ideas for pressies under £20?

He likes food and cooking and current affairs. He likes comedy, geeky gadget stuff. He likes to look decent.

(Would ideally like to be able to buy online! Thanks in advance! )

If he likes Whiskey, buy him some Whiskey Stones.

Box set of dvds or a stand up comedian dvd.

He doesn't like whiskey but I know someone else who does do that's their birthday present sorted!!

What do you want to spend? DP is hard to buy for, so every year he gets pants and socks selections, a shirt, trousers or a jumper, maybe shoes that he has chosen. My family own a jewellery shop so DP has also had beautiful cufflinks, which he loves and wears.

Can't think of anything else under £20 other than chocs, Kenwood mini chopper, cook-book, Pyrex bowls in different sizes.

I'd buy something for a quid if it was imaginative and he'd like it! I suppose £50 all in if I want a few/handful of things.

A rubix cube.
A mr men mug appropriate to him.
A scratch off where you have been Map of the World.

So week-a-day socks, prob £10 from M&S
Kenwood mini chopper or other kitchen gadget about £15
Your fave flavour novelty condom, no idea, would never buy myself, but let's say £5-
Mr Men t-shirt, think you can get from Next, guess at £15
Thorntons chocs, £whatever is left

Novelty condom! Ha.

Maybe another subject for another thread but DP is very fussy about condoms...

I like the Rubiks cube idea (or other puzzle. He loves soduku so that'd work) and the Kenwood thing. Thanks!

DP is sensible enough to make sure he can get refunds on any presents he gets me!

Does your DP shave, if so, Ambrosia from Lush is good.

Also, Dead Sea Bath stuff from Boots is really nice.

Thanks flowery, the Lush stuff sounds nice

I hope I've given you a few ideas, men are a nightmare to buy for

How about a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe book?

Your DH can indulge the cooking whim, you can eat the absolutely DIVINE food and while DH is out you can drool over hottie Yotti.
Seriously though his book "The cookbook" is full of really gorgeous recipies.

Just been shopping and your suggestions were v helpful - thank you!

That cookery book looks great. Might get that too or maybe for him for Xmas.

Super!
