    what have you got your DH for Christmas?

    Just wondering what others have bought....

    My DH is so hard to buy for because he's picky with his own style of clothes.

    This year so far I have a Banana lounge chair for the beach ( at the end of our street) and to use in the backyard when Ds is playing.... ( most days ) ATM we have no chairs outside....

    And his fave Aftershave which happened to stop working last week ( the pump broke ) so he will appreciate that

    A new book and some new board shorts..... But I still need more ideas.....

    OH AND....... I'm doing a BFP in a box for him ( I'm still holding out on telling him )

    SHARE please

    I bought DH all this police type stuff, a little torch so he doesn't have to carry the large one around with him, a pocket light so he doesn't need to hold any torch at all when writing notes / fines etc, and a traffic control wand.....a bit odd, but hey, if he doesn't use them I certainly will once I return from maternity leave !

    Haha Leesa, a girl after our own hearts...I know where you can get a great gear bag as well (DH got one for his birthday).

    I got DH dirtbike stuff....protective stuff cos I think he's going to do damage to himself lol....
    In his stocking (Santa brings us all a little stocking filled with bits and pieces) he's got some nice coffee bags, licorice allsorts, a new shower puff - no laughing, it fills the stocking, a toothbrush - we all get one and a couple of other bits and pieces.

    The kids bought DH and I a new DSLR camera, the kids also got him a teddy bear in his nrl team's gear and I bought him some over priced plastic nerf gun that fires foam bullets at some ridiculous speed all of which he'll love.

    He collects watches (nice ones) but I wasn't able to find one I liked this year. I got him a beautiful watch box one year to store them all in. He's also had a few things from redballoon days that he loved.

    Stuff for his homebrew set up. I've never seen a grown man get so excited over stock pots and little bits of hose.

    I got DH a flight in a Tigermoth (he goes tomorrow!) He's been working so much...I think it will help him (and me) with some extra endorphins!!!
