    A box to put it all in? :D

    Sorry, not helpful :o

    EDIT: Oh I thought of something. My ex had everything too so I bought him an hours flying lesson in a plane. Maybe book an activity for him instead?

    Well saying about a box, my next door neighbour was having a clear out this morning and I spied some handy looking box's, by the time I sorted out dd the collection men had been I could have kicked myself but thanks for the idea lol.
  • Has he got a favourite animal?
    I`m sponsoring a raccoon for my husband this year, for his christmas pressie...he doesn`t know about it though! (That`s the husband, not the raccoon....but actually, i doubt the raccoon will have any knowledge either).

    Sorry, rambling a bit.

    The good gifts catalogue is great too, if he cares what happens in the rest of the world.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for that Idea, the only animal he love's is our little dog Alfie. I could of course buy him a new dog lead for him to walk the dog mmmm might not go down very well though. I will have a look at The good gifts catalogue website.
    Than you.

    if he still has records then a USB turntable from Firebox would be good then he can put them on his iPod. Is he into sport? Tickets for games or a team shirt go down well. A day out to London with a proper old fashioned wet shave and a new suit?

    Some years when I have trouble I think of a 'trip' I can take my partner on. Once I sent him off flying a helicopter (big success btw....except for the fact that he came back). Another time I arranged for us to go off to see one of his favourite bands.

    I already have a couple of other 'events' stored up in my head for future years when I have trouble. He wants a go a race car driving, or rallying for example.

    This year he's getting a very special pressie......a new baby girl due on 26th Nov.

    He is a young husband who I dont think knows what a record is brought up in a world of cd's lol and he had for xmas nearly three years ago a little girl born on the 20th december. He would like a little boy now but I dont think I can concieve and produce a little boy in time for xmas??

    Thank you for the idea's.

    Does he do any paperwork at home? Maybe you could get him a lapdesk? Not very exciting, sorry!

    I have much the same problem, a 24 year old other half who has everything!

    I have a stock of ideas this year as I know I always panic (and to make matters worse his birthday is on Christmas Eve!!)

    SO: my ideas for the man who has everything:

    A gift experience from Argos/Red Letter Days/WHSmiths/Boots
    USB rechargable batteries (my OH would love this gimmick!)
    PSP games (if he already has a PSP of course)
    Nintendo Wii (if not too pricy - not sure of price yet)
    A magazine subscription (go through Pigsback for points!)
    Leather wallet/card holder
    Clothes (Sports Soccer selling various colours of YSL polo shirts @ £9.99, Umbro @ £3.29 plus loads of trainer bargains)
    Personalised calendar/mug from Pixmania (cheesy but cute)
    Personal Organiser (ipaq, Palm Pilot sort of thing)
    Good quality earphones/wireless earphones Sennheiser are a good make
    Sunglasses or a watch from Sunglass Hut
    ...and of course all men love a big box of choccies!
