Dh is getting a camping table. We don't really camp, but we do picnic so it will come in handy.
I was thinking of getting him one of those portable gazebos, my Mum has one and its great for picnics and days at the beach.
DH is getting a book and some new jocks. Totally boring but both things he needs and we're on a budget this year!
He's lucky he's getting anything seeing as he got me nothing for mother's day :gonnagetit:

DP is getting a cricket bat and a 2 set of Richmond Tigers Stein glasses and coasters and also a lovely StepDad card.
The boys have made their Bio Father craft and cards are daycare and they also had a fathers day stall and each bought him a present from that.
Does your DP have a hobby or a sport he plays? I'm lucky because there is an endless list of things I can buy my DP because he always wants or needs something and has more hobbies and plays more sports then i can count on both fingers and toes :laughing:
DP is getting a watch, he needs one so I got lucky this year

so far i have bought a pair of ugg boot slipper type things...which will come in handy providing perth gets its winter back, and not these warm days that have graced our presence recently. i guess he always needs undies. cuff links no good anymore. a watch would be lovely...not sure of my budget though...might leave that one til christmas.
i have recently bought him a few books and i don't think he has read one single one yet. oh I know, DH has started a new job recently and he wanted a framed picture of his family for his desk.....that would be a good one.
I bought DH a Kindle. But it's kind of a cop out pressie, because we were going to buy one later in the year anyway.
I can't wait to "borrow" it :D

funny you all should say that, because the thing i really want to get him is a paddle ski/canoe type thingy....knowing that he will never use it and it will become my little weekend play thing!!

A new stereo for his new HK Kingswood as it currently has none :) (He has also requested speakers so he can HEAR all ths music, but stuff that- I'm not made of money!)

I have a berkley kayak on layby for DP's Christmas, they are on special at BCF at the moment for $399 usually $599 :thumbsup:
Lucky for me (not) DP's birthday is on the 5th of September so I get a double whammy lol. I've gotten him a stunt driving course from the red balloon website (there are some awesome ideas on there!!) and a bottle of johnnie walker blue (even though he'll probably never drink it) plus he'll have the choice of anything he wants for dinner :)

If it is, dp did that a few years ago and thought it was great :)

The one he's doing is in Melbourne, he gets to drive a mini cooper! (his favorite car, don't ask me why lol) but from what I saw, they offer it in all major cities. Glad your DP liked it :) makes me feel better lol

one year, i sent DH up in a helicopter as a surprise. we rocked up only moments before he had to get in and take off, and to see him sh*t himself was priceless. infact he was soooooo scared, that as the helicopter was going up, his eyes were locked on mine...petrified, and then suddenly i thought 'what if i have to make a terrible phone call to his parents if the helicopter crashed'....i tried not to show it on my face, but i was pretty relieved when chopper came back into view.

something DH could do with the daughter or son so that they could bond!
My DH is hard to buy for - if he sees something he wants he just gets it!! So DS painted a picture (well as much of a picture as a 2 yr old can paint) on a canvas.
I also got some family photos block mounted because DH works away a lot and has cracked 2 photo frames in his suitcase this year.
