    Would anyone have some suggestions on what to get my boyfriend for Christmas? I'm all out of ideas, between Christmasses and birthdays I've gotten him everything decent I can think of already.
    I had been planning on booking us a city break but we booked a last minute trip to the US for March and we're moving in together in January, so another trip is out of the question.

    On previous occasions I've gotten him:
    Designer wallet
    iPhone
    Tablet
    Watch
    City break

    He isn't into reading so a kindle/books are out and I recently bought him aftershave as treat so nothing like that either.

    Anyone able to offer any suggestions of gifts they got their boyfriend husband to give me inspiration? I feel totally lost and to top it off he always gets me fantastic gifts so I want to return the favour!
    I'd happily spend around €300 if it was something I thought he'd love.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Can't vouch for HERE in particular but how about an adventurous day out diving, archery or clay pigeon shooting?

    Have a look on Ticketmaster and see if there are any shows coming up that he might like maybe.

    Almost all men like tee-shirts. What tee-shirt does he wear for, e.g. sports or relaxing? Get him a very good one of those with an apt slogan.
    If not tee-shirts, a nice "real" shirt or a designer dress shirt. Cufflinks? Can't have too many! Gold, silver, even diamond...

    How old is he? I'm in my early 30s and I think I'm probably quite tricky to buy for as if I want something, I usually just buy it for myself! But a couple of ideas:
    - a Fitbit
    - if he runs, you could get him a gps running watch
    - a track day in Mondello
    - a PS4/Xbox One
    - does he follow any sports? Maybe tickets to an away match (if you could get tickets for an away match in Ireland you could do it as a day trip as you don't want another trip away)
    - cufflinks
    - a Bluetooth kit for his car (if he doesn't have one)

    I second the Fitbit idea. I love mine!

    I got one as a present last year. Thought it was a great present when I got it, but hadn't actually thought of getting one up to that point. I love it though and think it's a great piece of kit!

    I got this as a present. It's great fun to be able to drive a car hard safely.

    What about a flying lesson? Or, if all else fails, you could always fall back on a nice sweater or something from M&S....Or, what about a box set of some series he might enjoy? Finally, has he a particular hobby or interest - even if he doesn't read much he might enjoy a year's subscription to a mag/journal relating to his hobby?

    If he's into music what about a Sonos Play 1 music system. Good price on Amazon at the moment £140.
