    He likes leaving watches all over the place and i gave him a watch last year. Not a jewellery type of guy either. I can't see him being into bon jovi somehow or spending that much on a concert. No gasrden so that rules quite abit of stuff out too. He has no pets. He is a canny northerner doens't like to waste money on anything. Also whatever he buys he is going through quidco ;)

    If you have a garden there are some fab hardwood furniture sets for him to relax in over the summer.

    Surely the best present a man could have would be to make you happy? Buy yourself something - your smiling face will be the best gift he could have...?;)

    Buy him a watch which Carol McGiffen on LBC recommended

    Apparantely it not only helps with sleep, jet-lag and encourages calmness

    Some models can cost over a thousand quid

    and it can be used to tell the time as well!
    Debt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO

    I agree with some others, get a friend to set up an auction for any old tat they have in their house and stick a £400 BIN on it, when the money has transferred to their account they can give it to you. Then you have near on £400 after fees etc in your pocket!
    Any spelling mistakes are entirely on purpose to check you're paying attention :p

    He probably will do some sort of £400 buy it now through a friend. I like the idea of a calming watch sounds fun but he won't go for that :)

    now this would make him laugh, and if he rises to the challange maybe he can learn it.
    if not he could prob just sell it on ebay,
    but at least you won the bet.

    (ps i have no interests with this seller, just thought it was a bizarre item)
