birthday gift ideas needed

24 replies

alexsmum · 03/08/2006 10:37

am absolutely stuck on what to get dh for birthday.
there are no gigs/shows etc coming up that he would like to see, no cds etc that he wants.
he's not big on clothes seeing them as something to prevent him being naked rather than something to show much interest in.he doesn't really wear aftershave.only real hobbies are reading and occasionally playing guitar(badly!)
he likes sports,going on holiday and drinking whisky!!
my budget is less than a £100.

any ideas please? i'm desperate!!!

Get him a decent bottle of single malt (around £30) and a good, big travel book. Something by Paul Theroux or Bill Bryson.

Would he like one? Nano's are under £100 now. I bought one for my DH (equally impossible to buy for, only doesn't read!) ans he loved it

ocd · 03/08/2006 10:50

yes all men like ipods

melrose · 03/08/2006 10:50

DH obviously can read just doesn't choose to!

ocd · 03/08/2006 10:51

a guitar stand

melrose · 03/08/2006 10:52

Also, as codhas mentioned, once you buy him an i pod the next few birthday and xmas presets are sorted buying the accessories to go with it

ocd · 03/08/2006 10:52

don't know when he would ever use it.

he hs the cd player in the car, couldn't use it in work, would be very unpopular if he sat plugged into it at home, and doesn't tend to do much walking down the street alone iykwim? god this is making me laugh! when would he use it?
