Hi there i am really struggling to buy presents for my oh, its hes birthday on the 11th dec, then its our 6 year anniversary on the 18th dec and then xmas on the 25th dec:rudolf:, and i havent brought him a thing at the moment. we also have 3 children together who need to buy their daddy a present?
Hes the sort of person that if he wants something he will just go out and buy it:(.
He loves photography, has a playstation and x box but hasnt really mentioned any games that he wants to buy, he hasnt really got any hobbies but does occasionally go fishing.
We have set a challenge for xmas for each other, we both have £60 to spent on gadgets and novelty gifts that we think the other might like and also would be useful to that person, but im even struggling with what to get him , and how to present it, i was thinking maybe some sort of hamper but that is as far as i got lol.
i was wonder if any of you lovely people have any good suggestions?
Thanks xxx

this thread has ideas for fishing related gifts

..one size fits all... and nobody minds if you give it back.☆.。.:*・° Housework is so much easier without the clutter ☆.。.:*・°SPC No. 5180 -
difficult for you! thats 3 occasions and if you include gifts from the 3 children and yourself thats 4 presents on each occasion making 12 presents in total and youre stumped for ideas for 1 never mind 12.
It might be easier to make the presents from all 4 of you so that you only need to find 3 presents for the 3 occasions that would make your life a LOT easier that having to find 12 presents
this way 1 present can be x box related, 1 present fishing related and 1 present photography related
for the x box present i would buy him x box points or gold membership for a year or x box official headphones such as turtle beach or a years subscription to the official x box magazine or a git voucher for game UK so he can buy any forthcoming new game releases
for the fishing present i would buy a magazine subscription, or fishing gear of which there are heaps in argos, or accessories such as folding chairs, blankets, waders, clothing , umbrellas, food or drink hampers
for the photography a new camera or printer, memory cards for the camera plus photo albums, a decent tripod, a camcorder .
you could send him a private birthday card saying you will model for him, if i did that my OH would happily let me spend the birthday cash on undies for me lol:D0 -
