Gift for the man who has everything

    I'm actually freaking out about what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. Every other year I know what to get him but this year there is nothing I can get him except go the boring route of getting him clothes(which I did for his birthday less than a month ago). We've been together over 10 years so I've actually bought him pretty much everything. So a bit about him. He's in his mid-late 20s doesn't drink or smoke and is a total workaholic. He has a playstation and games galore. He's a Motorsport fan but has already been to one of those rallying schools already this year. I know he's making it impossible for me! My budget is about €200. If I can't figure out what to get him in the next day or so I'm just going to go get him a samsung smart watch which I know he doesn't want so any help or ideas would be much appreciated!

    Is there any DVD Boxsets you could get him?

    Plan a weekend away?

    Get him a nice leather wallet, aftershave and a regular watch?

    Sorry they're prob not much help, but if it's any consolation I am WORSE to buy for, and my birthday is 6 days before Christmas, my fiancée has her work cut out for her again!

    I love these I think they had them in Arnotts not so long ago saw it advertised in the Sunday Times. Be pretty cool to get if it is his type of thing.

    Does he drink coffee? If so an aeoropress, 3fe coffee and cups might be good or a nespresso machine. Tea othwerise? Clement & Pekoe or Palais des Thes.

    Other options: fancy dinner? Weekend Away? Goodwood tickets? https://ticketing.goodwood.com/

    I know you you said he's done a rally school, but has he done anything on a full racetrack? Mondello run a few packages such as the Race School (get to drive single seater race cars), Drift Academy (really different, heard great things about it) and Supercar Experience (drive a couple Porsches) that are within/close to your budget.

    why don't you make up a hamper of all his favourite foods.. I know over the Christmas you can kinda of loose track and not end up buying yourself the foods you like as you think sure someone will have them at some house. so get them all and make a hamper for him

    If he is a true motorsport fan then get him a gift card for the Mondello supercar day.
    He will love you for it.

    Expect they the ones a year ago are obsolete because the technology is constantly changing rapidly. Also most people that buy those bands dont use them

    I know your budget is €200 and this is €250. But my brother has one and uses it pretty much everyday. He is obsessed with it.

    On the last part; does he work on his desk, or would he be on the go? Maybe instead of looking for a present outside of work, maybe look for one that he could use whilst working, or to maybe de-stress him whilst he's at work?

    Tickets to a gig. Look up ticketmaster and see if there are any music/comedy gigs he would be interested in. Even if it's for later in the year at least he will have it to look forward to.
