Ah, we're simple folk. We have a very small budget for each other and buy loads of little personal gifts with what little we have to spend. It requires a lot of thinking. I love it!

I read this thread hoping for inspritation for OH's present, but sorry lads ye gave me nothing!

He's 33, into gadgets / games / films but i think he has nearly all he wants. doesnt like adventure / days out gifts, not in to reading so no books / doesnt like me buying him clothes so i really am at a loss.

all suggestions gratefully recieved!

You didn't specify a budget.

Does he drink? If so, maybe a home brewing kit would keep him entertained for a while with possibly a nice beer at the end of it?

Depending on budget, there is loads of electronics and gadgets you could look at either...

Sorry, excellent point - budget up to approx. €200. and he does drink, there is an irish beer club, www.thebeerclubireland.ie is the website i think and was going to get him membership to that? havent had a proper chance to look at it yet. so far my only real idea..

Mam: My sister and I are getting her a cardigan, golf balls, diary, body lotion, and a few other bits.

Stepdad: My two sisters and I got him a boardsdeal voucher for a night for two in the hotel where him and my mam got married (really for the two of them but he's impossible to buy for so we jumped at the chance to give it to him!)

Brother (36): When I emailed him for his list he "jokingly" sent back that he'd like a goat from bothar.org so I'm going to get him one Also the Steve Jobs book and maybe slippers/scarf. Another tough one to buy for.

Sister-in-law (38): Babyliss hot rollers, Urban Decay Naked palette, and a hoody for going walking

Sister #1 (33): Tickets for me and her to go to see the Harry Potter sets at the Warner Bros studios in London next May We're both SUPER fans, she's going to love.

Sister #2 (31): Nothing yet, but she's coming home from Australia on 21st December for good after living there for the past few years, so I'm thinking some warm clothes, pyjamas, hat, gloves, etc as she'll have nothing appropriate for winter!

Brother-in-law (38): Voucher for hot towel shave in Grafton Barbers

Nephews (5-year-old twins): Feckin LOADS, spoilt boys. A few Playmobil sets, DVDs, Transformer toys, Disney Cars racetrack, t-shirts, tickets to Disney on Ice, glow-in-the-dark art sets, toy cars

Nephew (1 month old): Probably just a teddy

Stepbrother (32): Maybe a PS game

Also am doing Secret Santa with 2 different groups of friends, both have limits of just €15 each. One guy, one girl, both 20s. Not sure yet, probably something dirty/jokey for the guy, and maybe a purse or some makeup for the girl.

Anyone see nice wrapping paper anywhere with nice matching bows/ribbon! I love wrapping presents!
