What to buy OH?????

I keep offering my ideas to other people but not sure what to get my own OH.
I am making us our own xmas eve hamper (pj's lush bits etc) and I have bought him some bits from the ASOS glitch, a cookery book (I'm hoping he takes the hint and has a go) and some smellies.
We don't need anything so just doing token pressies so I'm looking for something for about £30.
He is into his Xbox, loves ice cream, dogs, gadgets, films, autobiographys, UFC and that is about it really.
We don't need any cooking bits or Aprons as I have loads.
Any other ideas would be fab.

Games, books, etc do a lot of small presents instead of one big present? That's what I'm having to do with my oh as he doesn't know what it is he wants :think:.0

What about an ice cream maker this one on amazon gets good reviews and it's only £23.99, or would this class as cooking bit's that you don't need, just thought it would be the gadgety/ice cream. I'm in a similar predicament, no idea what to get my oh, why are blokes so difficult to buy for.Booo!!!0

Hello
My hubby seems similar to yours, he is a gadget freak (I call him a geek)
Last Xmas I got my hubby a voucher for Game, as I had no idea what game to get him. I hid it within a packet of boxer shorts, but I think if I was getting him it again I would get one of those money mazes and make him "work" for it

Or a ticketmaster gift voucher perhaps?
But his favourite present so far has been when I made him a craft box full of sweeties, better than any of the more expensive presents I had bought e.g expensive jeans and shoes.
I have got him an American selection pack from CyberCandy this year, I know he will love itonly £13.99, but they also do larger boxes up to about £40 I think, with a selection from lots of countries. Also a can of Tab clear cos he always says he wishes you could still get it here
He gets cold easily so is also after a slanket, the original version rather than the JML copy

Or how about another hamper for a "sexy" night in together
Candles, massage oil, perhaps one of those durex vibrating rings (gadget!!) and some wine?
Good luck in choosing x0 -
What about a digital photo keyring? bout 15 quid from argos. Bought my hubby one last year and he loved it.Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!
2014 GOAL HIT 5 Stone! 2016 GOAL to be a MF marathon runner.

Thank you all for the excellent ideas.What about an ice cream maker this one on amazon gets good reviews and it's only £23.99, or would this class as cooking bit's that you don't need, just thought it would be the gadgety/ice cream. I'm in a similar predicament, no idea what to get my oh, why are blokes so difficult to buy for.
We are currently posted overseas and Haagen Daz is sooooooo expensive as is cheap ice cream. I think one of these could make up for only 3 tubs of the HD ice cream. Thanks for that. Could well go for this.
All are good ideas so I'll have a look.
Thank you0 -
