What kind of stuff is he in to? No point telling you to get him a sports related present if he's not at all interested in sport.

To be honest, a good shaving kit is a great present, and not too pricey either.

A handy starter kit would be...

http://www.shaving.ie/products/Taylors-of-Old-Bond-Street-Shaving-Cream-Tubes.html
http://www.shaving.ie/products/Two-Of-A-Kind-DE-Blade-Sample-Pack.html

Plus you get to choose what he'll smell like

He would have to be into shaving though. If it was me, i wouldnt use any of those. I would rather get something fun, something that i could mess around with.
Has he hinted that he's interested in something, a hobbie that he hasnt started yet for example?
e.g. I had always been interested in space and astronomy etc., so for x-mas last year, my OH got me a telescope. its nothing huge of fancy, but it has started me off in a new hobbie and i love it.

Is he interested in sports??eh not really (im more the sport one in the relationship from cars to soccer)...he is a tractor man but I got him a petrol powered tractor, all tractor stuff inc some tools for messing about with it...I got him a laptop and the bits and pieces to go with it for his graduation there 2 years ago....Sol now Iv hit the brick wall...

He keeps telling me to "save my money" and not to be splashing out but to be honest he desrves it....

The shaving thing is a good idea Fajitas but some how i dont think he would be into that...he is a regular gillette guy...
