Why not make his gift about both of you? After all, he has chosen to spend his life with you, so a treat you can both enjoy is not an outrageous suggestion. We suggest one that is free, or very cheap and one that is a bit higher budget, but both guaranteed to make your husband smile for weeks on end.

We can imagine you pulling a face trying to work out what we mean. Quite simply a little book full of hand written vouchers for him to cash in for favours from you. This can range from something easy such as “Valid for me to bring you one beer” to something as far as you are willing to go for him. They can be all fun and friendly, or maybe a little bit naughtier to spice up the bedroom. There are options available to buy online for this purpose, but a handmade selection will be more personal, and you can make them to his own tastes. So a good little addition when you aren’t sure the gift you have got him is enough.

Has your husband always dreamed of visiting somewhere? Talked about a trip endlessly? Then why not take him on it? Or just escape to the countryside together for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of working life. This gift is totally up to you and your budget. Go far, go close, go for a week, go for a weekend. Those are minor details that won’t make too much of a difference. The important thing for your husband will be to spend some time away from work and more importantly, with you.

We cannot stress this point enough. He already has socks, he can go out and buy his own socks if he needs them. Please do not buy him socks. Remember to be creative but make sure your gift is both practical and stylish. Never be afraid to be creative, different or even ask. He will appreciate something he asked for more than something you thought he would like but weren’t quite sure. However, our guide is flawless! Follow the guidance given above and you cannot fail this Christmas.
