Hello

I need a gift for my OH who has many things. He likes his kindle and gadgets but has most things I guess. I will be making him a cake and special card from his LO but other than that I am stumped. I would love to introduce him to a new hobby but I have no idea what. He doesn't really drink and isn't into many sports.

Thanks

    What about a nice case for his kindle? I have a lovely one made from organic hemp. It looks and feels like a nice quality book binding, and people often comment on it.

    Is it very close to his birthday?

    Could you both make a bucket list - you may get some inspiration from there.

    Thanks you have both given me a couple of ideas.

    I think I could make 2 gifts from that :)

    Start playing bridge. but I have to warn you - it's for self-controlling people, when you play with the spouse. On the other hand starting is easier together.

    Is your OH my OH? ;)

    Does he like music? My OH has set up a wish list on Amazon to get CD's of his favourite classic albums dating back to the 70s, some of which are now quite rare and some collectible. Over the years he's built up quite an impressive library, people always know what to get him and he's deeply appreciative.
