Stuck for the husband - Ideas anyone?

As the title suggests really. Any ideas/suggestions would be fab. A little about him...

No children
Bought our first home in May
He is learning to play guitar (already has 3 guitars and an expensive amp)
Is having weight loss surgery next year so no clothes, food or drink related days out
Loves Star Wars
Enjoys F1

So far I have purchased him;
A watch (he is a collector of watches)
Jean Paul Gautier
A 90 min pilot experience at the local airport

I am after some little gifts but nothing "throw away".

Any ideas please

I have had the same with my DH!
We were in WDW in August so he stocked up with clothes and stuff while we were away.
i have bought him a watch, and he is a massive F1 fan, i bought him the Silverstone Experience £20 for him and my dad to go and visit. Dad is an OAP so got his for £16
I bought tickets through the Virgin experience days for the motor museum at Donnington Park, they loved that.
I was going to book the British Grand Prix tickets for him for next year but I baulked at the price! We are off to Fuerteventura in February for a week and it cost less than the F1 tickets camping etc!
He is a massive Lewis Hamilton fan and I have been having a look at the merchandise on the F1 site for inspiration.

Good luck in your quest, I am struggling for my DH too

Jane

My DH loved a shaving kit from Cornerstone last year. It's a subscription service but you can cancel, or pause at any time. Plus if you get a referral the first box is usually very good value.

Thanks Everyone for the ideas. Unfortunately F1 tickets are out of my price range, we would need hotels/camping and by the time you add it all up its costing rather a lot of money, indeed we could both go to Poland for 5 nights cheaper (and was my first choice of present, however we don't know how he will feel after his operation so scooted round that idea).

Like the idea of the motor useum at Donnington Park though, cheers for that

I know you said no clothes, but what about some PJ's or slippers/sliders for after the surgery.

I know nothing of cars or Star Wars or guitars, sorry.

I got a beautiful leather watch display case in Debenhams.

Just to say good luck to your husband for his weight loss surgery. My hubby had a gastric band in 2012 and lost 7stone. Made a big difference although it isn't an easy thing to go through.
My hubby also loves watches so he has a watch box so that might be a good present.
As someone else has suggested a soup maker too. Soups go down well!
