    Just remember. Don't mix up the presents for your husband and your boyfriend. The consequences do tend to spoil Xmas

    I hope no one will have such a problem :D

    Why are so many men so hard to buy for!! I have this issue every year!
    This year i've bought a nice lot of falvoured coffees for my SO as he is a coffee drinker. Going to get some of those cool glass coffee mugs to go with it too.
    Could do a similar gift if they drink a lot of tea!

    yes - these are frequent gifts, but what would you like yourself, for example?

    a great idea for those who love coffee or tea, but for example, my man always buys a lot of tea and coffee at once (it seems enough for another 2 years :D )

    My husband is a tea snob :D I do buy him tea at Christmas but only because the stuff he likes is so flipping expensive that I can’t afford to buy him it normally :D This year he’s got a caddy of T2 Irish Breakfast tea plus an extra box, a caddy of Ringtons Tea, 2 boxes of Bewleys Dublin Morning Tea (this stuff is stupidly expensive as it has to be imported from Ireland, and that’s before the charges for paying in Euros!) and a big box of Twinings Strong English Breakfast tea as it was on offer in Morrison’s.

    I've suggested this before. It keeps razors ahrp and reduces having to buy blades as often.

    Another idea, which makes things easierr to break down. My teenage daughter did this for her boyfriend. You buy a present for each sense, hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch.
    so hearing could be something music related
    sight - a book
    taste - food gift
    touch - clothing
    smell - aftershave. . 


    Hi Spendless
    I just wanted to thank you for that post. I found it both helpful and creative.
    Thank you.

    Twinings good tea! my partner likes it too! :)
    tea is often not a cheap pleasure  :D recently bought "white house tea" TWG 50 grams about 50 pounds seems to be expensive and good gifts from there
