Yikes!! Have picked my boss in this years secret santa!
He's a lovely chap, great to work for, and I think he's about 67ish years old.
Does anyone have any ideas for a gift that won't be more than £5?
Considering I've worked for him for nearly 10 years I'm embarrassed to say I don't actually know much about him personally other than he plays golf on Wednesday afternoons unless it's raining! :rotfl:

There's a Giggling Golfball in Next for £5 - looks just like the real thing until you hit it.
Or Superdrug have a golf-themed desktop set - pen, letter opener etc - for £4.49 - it'll be on the sale/reduced section if they have any stock, not the main gift area.
Will try to think if I've seen anything else around your price range - am in the process of putting together a golf-ish hamper for an uncle who's a similar age - I'm avoiding kit, balls etc as I know nothing about what he has or needs, so it's gimmicks and gadgets I'm hunting down.

There are Golfer's Chocolates in Lakeland for £2.99, and aquarterof.co.uk have chocolate golf balls - might be worth seeing if any local traditional sweet shops (rows of jars and the such) would carry them
Last year M&S did a few different golfers sets - ranging from socks to alcohol and various gadgets. DFW Nerd no. 884 - Proud to [strike]be dealing with[/strike] have dealt with my debts0 -

Thanks for all the ideas..... I think perhaps chocolate golf balls is the way to go!!:D I know his wife keeps him away from the choccies most of the time as he sneaks them when we have some at the surgery from a grateful client!!:rolleyes:"all endings are also beginnings.

I was in Boots this morning, and yes, there are several Golf orientated gifts - playing cards, mugs etc. The images are old-fashioned comic (think Andy Cap or old Beanos) rather than the modern gimmicky ones you seem to usually get, and there were a few £5 price tags to be seen, and it's all on 3for2, so you could afford to look at the £5-£10 bracket too without actually going over budget.
