What are you getting your OH for Christmas?

[Tomatoking]

Come on then........let's have some good ideas for presents for your other half for Christmas? Silly and practical!

[kirsty b]

At the moment all he's likely to get is buried! He's doing my head, I need another grown up around the house right now not another kid

Sorry, he'll get a bottle of Baileys

[ginger ninger]

I've bought him some D.V.D,s, C.D,s, a new Blue Ray d.v.d player/recorder, I really am at a loss some years what to buy him, I was looking at booking for use to go in a log cabin for Christmas, but we have my dad and the old lady from across the road round for dinner, so that's a none runner.

[Brengirl]

Many moons ago I bought some things from Ann *******. It seemed a good idea at the time and we had a good laugh. The problems began when the joke wore off and I wanted to dispose of them. I daren't put them out for the dustman

[SarzWix]

I'm right with you there Kirsty

It's the OH's 40th this year just beore christmas, and I thought I had something worth quite a bit of money which I was going to sell and get him tickets for the British GP. Unfortunately, I'd been misled and so if he's lucky, I might be able to get him a new mobile phone. If he's unlucky, it'll be a new address

[SlugLobber]

I honestly have no idea, this year! If only there was some voucher scheme for old tractor/lorry bits, I'd be sorted, every year!

[Bigmallly]

I haven't got a clue........What can you get the lady who has everything.....

[broadway]

It's my wife's birthday on Christmas day so she gets a few. So far I've got her a new mobile, sowing box, and a knitting bag.

Still need to get some lus* bath bombs

[Tomatoking]

Well....I've no idea what to get Mr TK, he would like a tractor (ha ha!) but can only afford a toy one! So need to put my thinking cap on I think!

[Brengirl]

When our children were growing up we went through a very mean and lean time. We devoted our time and what little money we had to them. As the years went on we never returned to exchanging christmas gifts and we still only give 'token' ones at birthdays.

Or the man who doesn't have everything, but doesn't really want anything either? Our first married Christmas (30+ years ago) I bought him a wine making kit, he'd still be happy with that, but now probably has more wine-making stuff than the local brewing shop so that's pointless. He doesn't drink though so it's not as if I can get him some posh alcohol. All the other 'traditional' gifts for men are given to him by other family members, meaning that by this time every year I've usually started tearing my hair out. This year he lost/misplaced/had stolen his favourite lottie tool (a sort of cross between a machete and a golf club) it was the one thing which allowed him to take on and beat massive bramble patches without a second thought and I've finally found somewhere that stocks replacements, which wasn't easy as I hadn't a clue what they were called ('slashers' if anyone's interested, from Chillington tools) so he'll be getting one of those and for once I know he'll like it.

[Nicos]

A replacement ( but upgraded) brush strimmer for the field! ...and a few bits and bobs to unwrap.

( I have a sneaky feeling it'll half be my pressie too)

[Pumpkin Becki]

My OH would love to have a beehive (with bees obviously), so I might get him the Barefoot Beekeepers book.
The Barefoot Beekeeper: Amazon.co.uk: P. J. Chandler: Books

or possibly the Self Sufficientish Bible:
Amazon.co.uk: self-sufficientish bible

or if he's been really good - maybe both!!

I think well thought out token presents are usually much nicer than big, expensive gifts which are bought for the sake of it. I'm horrified by how much some people spend on things they don't want / need just because they think they should

or possibly the Self Sufficientish Bible:

I've got that, it's good.

[Pumpkin Becki]

I've got that, it's good.

Oooh, thanks Alison. I've had a look at their website too, I think he'll really like it .
