Hi everyone,
I tried searching this but I couldn't find anything, so shouldn't be a problem? :huh:
Okay so here's my problem.. I have a really really sweet boyfriend and for this Christmas we've decided that we're going to spend about £100 on each other.
I have already brought him:
He's self aware and likes to look and smell nice, he's joining the army and he is SO into that kind of stuff and he LOVES to cook(hehe lucky me:rotfl:.)
ALL and ANY ideas are welcome:D :rolleyes:
Thanks in advance
:rudolf: 26 DAYS TO GO!!:rudolf:

I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A

Why don't you do something around the cooking theme, as you've already got a good range of other stuff? (and what a lot for £40 - you must be very MSE!)
You could buy a large dish, tray or wok (instead of a box), add a cookery book, some ingredients and an apron, for example. Maybe Chinese? Or even cakes - there are lots of ideas for cookies in a jar etc on here. Or what about a breadmaker and some mixes/ingredients?somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's0 -
Oooh no hadn't thought of that
Will have a look for cookies in a jar and things like that, he will love it, he's such a big kid bless him :rotfl:
Thank you very much

Yeah thats a good idea (adding to my list) ROFL
He also plays PC games but i can never find any that he wants that are cheap lol

I got my dh a 'nuts about you keyring' was pretty steep at £14 but i know he'll love it! As its slushy but matcho at the same time.
A cd, dvd, picture of the two of you together in a nice frame?
I've also done my dh a retro sweet box it only cost £4 to do.0 -
My boyfriend used to be in the army and is a real outdoors type - one of the things I've got him this year is a book about knots and rope and a load of rope to go with it - not the kind of thing that every guy would like but I know he'll love it! I've also got him some Kilimanjaro expedition maps as he climbed it earlier in the year.
Another thing I might get is something like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320135068265
There's loads of outdoor/survival bits in this eBay shop.
I've also just finished knitting my boyfriend a willy warmer in his team's colours - apparently the soldiers used to wear them in the trenches in the first world war - could be a good joke gift/stocking filler if your boyfriend is joining the forces?! If you're not a knitter you can buy them on eBay for a few pounds (or I can knit you one in any colours you like!)0 -

Wow - you've been busy! I'm sure your OH will be thrilled xmas morning when he has that lovely lot to open.
I am loving the willy warmer idea, my dh does shift works, mostly night on the railway, he's always complaining of the cold, esp this time of year so might go have a look for them now lol Thanks!0
