what can hubby get me for xmas that will save me money in the long run

LJM

ive recieved some weird and wonderful household and kitchen gadgets for xmas's and birthdays my oh thinks im mad but it is something i would buy and use for myself, so far over the years i have recieved a magimix/dyson hoover/new set saucepans/cutlery/crockery. sounds strange but it is all bits that i use regularly if not everyday. i might as well recieve something i can use. do you enjoy cooking a great recipe book can make a lovely pressies, or a diary for next year, new coat accessories, shoes maybe

I just bought my BFF a slow cooker for his birthday - and he squealed like a teenage girl when he opened it:rotfl::rotfl: My OH thought it was a "bloody stupid gift to give a man in his 30's" but if its something you want/will use then anything can be perfect!

totally agree with this, over previous christmases my best gifts have been a slow cooker, a george forman grill, a 4 slice toaster :eek: and an electric toothbrush loool, i use them all at least twice a week (except the toothbrush, rest assured people twice a day ) all the 'luxury' treats were admired and filed away, am secretly hoping for the new 1 tablespoon chip fryer this year but at £130 every MSE bone in my body is screaming noooo

just thought another idea is a nice thick coat, we arnt renouned for our sunny weather so you will prob use most of the year

Hi - I would look on the eco gift sites as you are BOUND to find something on there you are happy with

There is a simple plug in gadget which supposed to save you around 10% on your electricity - I've forgotten what its called..

Plus they have radiator boosters you put on top of your rads to boost heat and save money!

I even treated myself to some eco toilet descalers with a £5 Amazon voucher I had ... No toiletries or girly bits for me - Eco toilet descaler to save me scrubbing off limescale and use hopefully no toilet descaler for the next 5 years! lol

I think a slow cooker is a great idea too ... I'd scream if someone got me one!

Now why didn't I ask for one of those this year?
