With my hubby (who also has everything) over the years I have given him the following:
Telescope (not expensive) and paid for him and me to do a 20 week local astronomy course. It is really nice to have a shared hobby.
He can't eat gluten, so one year made up a hamper with all things G.F.
A wizzy camcorder, one that fits in your hand and you can download pics/vids straight to computer, his digital camera was getting old, so he was thrilled with this.
I got him a track day one year, where he went to Silverstone and drove all kinds of fast cars.
Also I sent him 4x4 driving, which he enjoyed more than the fast cars.
One of the best pressies was feeding meerkats at a zoo, he loves all things fluffy (not such a manly man now you may notice), I also adopted a meerkat for a year from Jersey Zoo (a zoo we both love).
Had a fav pic of his put on a canvas.
A wrist watch one year.
One year a PS2, another year a Wii, then obviously some games for Birthdays.
One Xmas he got a scalextric (wot a big kid)
I got him a Liverpool stadium tour for £30 which included a 3 course meal in one of the executive boxes, which was very cool.
This year I will be searching the IWOOT.com for unique and quirky gifts.
It is my dad who I have a major problem finding gifts for.
There the 2 things that i am thinking of doing for my OH, he is a big Liverpool fan:rolleyes: and also loves fast cars, great ideas.0 -
How about a lovely weekend away? Prices can vary from £10 a night upwards, there is a selection of places for all budgets.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0

God, we must be the most boring people on the planet. DH & I have a list on the fridge where we (and our older kids) are encouraged to jot down things that we think would be great to have for Christmas. It's a wish list. Everyone knows it's not guaranteed that you'll get the items on the list, but it makes it easier for everyone else to look at the list and covertly speak to the other family members and say "hey, don't buy that item for Dad, as I'm getting it for him" and such. Usually, DH & I get each other something off the list and something that's a surprise, as we don't put on expensive items - those are discussed together and purchased.MSE mum of DS(7), and DS(4) (and 2 adult DCs as well!)DFW Long haul supporters No 210:snow_grin Christmas 2013 is coming soon!!! :xmastree:0
