Valentine gifts for the man who has everything

[monkeysmama]

What are you getting your dp for Valentine's Day? We don't usually celebrate but have had an appalling start to the year and I feel like treating him.

He's got very fussy and expensive taste but I want to think of something special.

I have done the bag, watch, photos, weekend away etc. and experiences are a no go as he does better things through work.

We will be away for the evening (with our LO) and I've already bought some special underwear.

TIA

Special underwear sounds just the ticket.

I have bought my husband a personalised portrait of our house. Not romantic per se, but he works incredibly hard to pay for us all to live here (I'm a sahm) and I know he's proud of how far he's come (council house to a 6-bedder is some jump), so the house represents lots of the reasons why I love him so much - not monetary reasons I hasten to add.

It was from notonthehighstreet.

I really hope you see what I mean, I guess if you don't understand, it's not the right present for your hubby!

CH to 6 bedder- well done your hubby.

Lol TinyD4ncer! What does CH mean?

That sounds lovely and I totally know what you mean. I liked the personalised tree on NOTHS too. Will look again later. Might not have time though?

My portrait was sent within a week even though the waffle bit said 2/3 weeks. I messaged the seller (Letterfest) before I purchased to double check timings too. I agree with you though - the tree is soooo lovely, as is the art that shows all the places you've been to together. We have good taste lol :)

Does he have an iPhone?

I got my DH this last year - but in the plain Taiga leather, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be in stock ATM).

Other nice small leather goods there too.

But the underwear will probably be best received :)

Oh great - link doesn't work.

(It's under Men - small leather goods - if anyone is interested.)

Council house - sorry was trying to be lazy putting CH : )

Are you suggesting I buy him a council house? How 1980s!

MM - do you know any good photographers? So not those hideous studio jobbies but one who could take a lovely natural photo of you and DD in the park or something.

I did that for DH when DS1 was 1 (also when we got married) and it was a good gift I think.

Another thing my DH always likes is a massage - could you incorporate a voucher for one when you're away perhaps?

But otherwise the underwear and time away together will be lovely

I like your thinking Tracey but am planning on doing that for his birthday in March which I have more time to plan for (though finding such a photographer is hard - what did you ask for?)

A massage at the hotel could be nice but I wanted something a bit more special from me iyswim.

It's a shame he doesn't like jewellery.
