Hubby Xmas Ideas - Help!!

[Smowball]

Ok I am truly stumped this year! He’s mid forties, a workaholic with no hobbies. (He is fun really lol). He’s a computer nut(I.T is his company), loves food and drink, enjoys relaxing watching TV, meals out, but that’s it! Oh and he’s a Man Utd fan lol. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!

[emmie]

that should read Shirt, not short........ sorry

[ummmm]

Not a ManU shirt. They look ridiculous on grown men.

This is why I don't buy Xmas presents :-)

[emmie]

no they don't, unless he is Father Christmas shaped then maybe...

[Smowball]

He wouldn’t wear the shirt tbh. If anything I would have got him a signed one just as a collectors item......
God he’s so difficult lol

[anneasquith]

Amazon vouchers . Lol .

Alcohol, if he likes red wine, why not get him a very nice taylors boxed port?

[emmie]

A case of good red wine then, that should knock you back a few quid, does he like aftershave, something expensive perhaps..

[IJKLM]

As one of those difficult-to-buy-for men, I'd be very happy to receive a case (or a half-case) of red wine.

NO idea what you normally pay for a bottle - we tend to be in the £7-£11 bracket. If someone gave me six bottles of stuff in the £16 bracket, I'd be pretty happy.

That is to say, spend a bit more than you normally do (or he normally does) per bottle and divide up your budget to suit.

What types of stuff - depends a lot on what he likes, but in the £10-£20 bracket, it's hard not to get a decent bottle.

You can ask the regular drinkers on here for some recommendations of good wines that are a bit unusual, but here's one idea at around £10/bottle

Finca Las Moras Reserve Malbec 2016.

If he's a computer nut, don't even think about getting anything computery, unless you've asked for his suggestions first.
Having said that, I did just treat myself to one of these, and I'm sure any computery nut would like one...

Does Man U sell personalised stadium bricks? To own a wee part of the stadium xx

[ummmm]

What about a weekend away?

That's what we do. We use Xmas as an excuse to book a holiday. We don't buy each other presents.

[Smowball]

Some great ideas - thankyou!

[SparklyKid]

Pair of socks

[CrapAtCryptics]

If he likes tech how about a flight simulator lesson they arent that expensive - look at travelzoo

[AuntLydia]

Does he read computer magazines? A years subscription to his favourite mag. may be a good idea along with a couple of stocking fillers ;-D

[MargoTester]

What about clothes. My OH hates clothes shopping so I buy nice sweaters for him. Does he like after shave if so treat him to Aqua di Parma cologne, expensive but divine.

[Patsy33]

What about a gentle back massager you put at back.of chair?

[rockyracoon]

I'll second the Acqua di Parma idea. It's gorgeous

^^^particularly the "Essenza" variety.....!
