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:.

    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!!!
  • 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 it :) only £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 :p
    Candles, massage oil, perhaps one of those durex vibrating rings (gadget!!) and some wine?

    Good luck in choosing x
  • 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 2016

  • Thank you all for the excellent ideas.

    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 you :)
