Christmas presents help!

Hi I hope someone can help, I have 2 very difficult people to buy for and have no idea what to get them.

First person: OH. Love him to bits but he has no hobbies, no interests (he sounds boring :rotfl:), doesn't belive that clothes should be a present as they have to be bought all year round - a really annoying belief. I bought him an expensive watch a couple of years ago and he never wore it:mad:. Actually reading this back I'm tempted not to bother getting him any thing but that would be cruel:o.


Second person: OH stepdad. Again no hobbies or interests. Has far too much money and will buy anything for himself so he has everything and the best that money can buy, so things either need to be expensive or disguised as expensive. I struggle every year with this man that it takes the pleasure out of xmas shopping.


Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    what about a magazine subscription for your OH or a subscription for DVDs (like lovefilm or something) or to a wine club. What types of things do you count as 'treats' in your house? Maybe a promise of a meal out/weekend break/take away/etc.

    they both sound really tricky, good luck!
  • OH step dad - sponsoring a child in africa or endangered species, something like that. BF - a book on hobbies,maybe he'll see something he likes;) or treat yourself to some sexy clothes and wear them on xmas day as his xmas present!
