Ok so christmas is coming up, only a few weeks away now, and am stuck, i have no idea what to get my bf, been together nearly 2years, and i need to get him something for 4 different occasions. Chirstmas, our anniversary is on Jan 23rd, his birthday is on Jan 28 plus valentines day. I'd be really greatful if you all can help out..

* He loves his r'n'b, slow jams, 80's music, but his collected almost all the albums from his favourite artists over the years.

* His really picky about clothing, also i already got him a timberland jumper earlier this year for his birthday.

* Cologne is an option, i have bought him loads already, was thinking maybe get him Dolce and Gabana's Light Blue but he has mentioned how he bought a bottle of Carolina Herrera a few weeks back and his little cousin liked it so he gave the bottle to him, also we were out shopping yesterday and he went into the fragrance shop asking for Carolina Herrera original, but they didn't have it, been looking for some online but can't find any originals, so i'd be greatful if someone can post a link in this thread..

* He likes his drinks, lol stella mostly but he also like some Chillean red wine.. I'm no wine expert, so if someone can suggest some nice bottles? Don't wanna spend more than £20 for a bottle. Was googling for some suggestions, and i found something called Montes Alpha Syrah, £10.44 a bottle from john lewis, has anyone tried it before? If so, let me know if its worth getting.

* Hamper, erm what would go in a xmas/bday hamper? Don't wanna give a man cuddly toys.

* Food, i can't cook, so please don't suggest any cooking, lol i made some fudge cookies and choco brownies for valentines day earlier this year, didn't go down well, lol but his the polite type, so he ate most of them, then teased me afterwards lol. He does love his desserts, maybe will give a go at making Fudge and Peacan cheesecake, if it goes terribly wrong, go and buy one and say i made it

* Gadgets/computer games, sorry i forgot to mention he turns 32 in jan, his not the type who's into gadgets or games, he likes cars but doesn't own one so can't get any tools.

* Could go out for a nice meal, but we do that alot anyways.

* Going away, its hard to go away for the weekend or a few days, because of family and work..

* He hates jewellery, watches/rings/bracelets.

Anyways some of the things i just mentioned that i could or couldn't get/do for my bf, hope it helps someone else.


Any suggestions not noted already are welcome, thanks in advance
