    So far I've got him:

    :)Tickets to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    :)Some wine glasses made out of recycled bear bottles (rather strange looking but will be a good stocking filler......)
    :)A little 'naughty' something I won't mention here.....
    :)A voucher made up as a boarding pass for a weekend to Prague

    I'm going to buy:
    :)A neoprene wetsuit jacket type thing - for when he's at kitesurfing competitions and has his wetsuit on and is on the beach waiting to back to compete

    and then some little things in a big box so he think's he has a HUGE pressi - but he hasn't :j
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • Ha ha yes it came out last week....and he's moaning because all his friends are playing it and he isn't but isn't allowed to buy it as it was on hs list...although I am sure he'd be even more gutted if he didn't get it at all lol.

    Is he 14??! :eek: :D

    Some great ideas here people!!
    74Ajax - last year we (his parents and I) got him (us) tickets to see Lee Evans live - it was fab!! I will have to have a gander and see what is on ticketmaster.

    In the mean time I have just bought him a 'scratch map' - a map of the world covered in that scratch card silver stuff - so he (we lol) can scratch off everywhere we've been diving. :) (Was £12.99 from Play - free delivery).

    What about some golf lessons with the professional coach at your local club?

    My OH is hard to buy for too & to be honest he like to pick things himself. I usually get an email with links to things on, this year it's a new electric shaver, so will get him that & then I think some mens face cream don't want him getting wrinkles:rotfl:
    Married the man of my dreams - 10th September 2012, St Paul's Bay Lindos :jIt was amazing.

    :rotfl: this is what I do - my birthday is a week tomorrow so I normally send him an email full of 'wishlist' items. :)
    I keep asking him what he'd like for Christmas and so far the answer has been nothing - lol great help!

    I just love surprises, I have to say my OH is extremely generous and I do get spoilt for Christmas and my Birthday etc. I don't like giving a list as then I'd know what I'm getting. Mind you the moment I know he's bought something I ask questions, and then when he looks like he's gonna cave and tell me what it is I run from the room with my hands on my ears screaming 'I don't want to know'!

    I just love the look on his face when I've bought him something and he genuinely is chuffed. Unlike last year when we had opened all our presents and he'd gone to the kitchen to get more bucks fizz and I quickly put on the sexy santa outfit I'd bought and went outside to ring the door bell (waiting in 3in of snow for him to come to the door). He opened the door and no word of a lie I thought he was going to pass out laughing. He was rolling on the hall floor. I had a pizza box with with tickets to Rome in as an additonal present and he totally didn't notice as he couldn't stop laughing at me dressed as santa delivering a pizza. That so didn't go to plan.....
