    yep, yep and yep!!! oooohhh its so difficult.......
  • How about a subscription to a magazine, must be some gadget type mag, I bought DH one for Top Gear and really appreciates it coming through the post every month!
  • Hope you managed to get him something if not, i always have this prob with hubby, i end up getting him things he never thinks about but he is always really pleased with them.
    for example he has a bmw...so i managed to get him the alloy bmw wheel nuts, and a bmw lighter, from the kids, another time i got him a nice leather case for his portable dvd player, ive booked us into a hotel for the night (in true mse style it was the Hoxton at a pound and the meal was at Planet Hollywood paid with tesco vouchers) and booked a meal for us on me...things he does for me and i thought it would be nice for me for a change to make the effort..
    so for the man that has everything and believe me, my man does, over and over again, try getting him accesories for his 'everythings' or try doing something that he would do for you but you dont do for him...;)

    Following on from fizzyfeet, I got a subscription to Stuff magazine which has all the latest gadgets.

    http://www.themagazineshop.com/title-stuff.aspx

    they do 3 issues for £1 then £9.40 every 3 issues thereafter when paying by direct debit.

    Has he got a fancy electric shaver?

    I also got my OH these cufflinks which he loves: http://www.1stchoicecufflinks.com/ecommerce/Scripts/prodView2~idproduct~638~Tax~Disc~Cufflinks.htm

    will have a bit of a think.....

    Kimmy hope you got sorted with something. I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago with OH. He has absolutely everything and I was really stuck as I didnt want to get him the only thing he wanted - a DVD recorder. Guess what he got - the dvd recorder! I managed to get one in Currys which is the new model of the one that Argos currently sell for £100 - I got the upgrade for under £90 so was well pleased. I now have yet another redundant DVD player in the house!
