What on earth do you buy a guy for Xmas who is a workaholic?

[Smowball]

Has no hobbies, has every gadget under the sun, likes golf but still hasnt used the clubs, professional lessons he was bought last year! Doesn't read....Help??

[stokemaveric]

a bottle of wine........

[DTCwordfan]

a string of "personal coupons" to be used during the year....I leave the details to your imagination and what goes on between you two.

Original - doesn't cost much other than your time and loads through the washing machine

Erm..........classic car?

How much do you want to spent roughly?

What kind of work does he do? I'm kind of the same for my brother.. people keep telling me to get him aftershave but he is a workaholic too and is a landscape gardener. I would see the point if he was wearing it to an office or something but not labouring in someones garden! lol

Lol he works in IT. He is a blooming pain to buy for. Spendwise, about £100 I guess, maybe £150

I thought the guy was put on the bonfire last night so no need for a pressie.

It's funny that Wolf said a goat - cos that's what I asked my daughter to do a few christmases ago. At 60 I didn't need anything and felt that rather than have her waste her money on 'something for the sake of it' it would be good to buy a goat for people who needed the help. It was the best christmas present I've ever had bought for me...and really makes you reflect on what's important in life.

The Boo household has started doing this- the adopt an animal thing. Year before last I got a orangutang and last year Mr Boo got a penguin.


They don't half make a mess of your carpets ;-)

I was going to get one of those WWF Adopt a Lion gifts from WHSmith one year for my mum. It was the last one and someone had stolen the teddy from it and left everything else. Might see if I can get one this year :)

[Maydup]

What about clubbing together with him and booking a weekend away together - a ticket each for a show and a night in a hotel in Jan/Feb maybe?

[Smowball]

lol the mousemat would be a good stocking filler.

Lol @Boo

I got my mother an elephant one Christmas - adopted in an African reserve. She was really pleased, she liked elephants.

We bought my MIL a couple of goats from Send a Cow a couple of years ago, and last year we actually sponsored a reindeer for her at the Reindeer Farm in Kent, we were able to go and look at her beastie!
