Last minute gift ideas?

I need to get a gift for the BIL, completely forgot about his birthday as they were on holiday. He is into gaming, drives and thats about it!

Did think of a car wash hamper but not sure its something he would appreciate.

On a really tight budget!

    For a last minute gift I tend to buy vouchers and a huge box of chocolates!
  • Is there a speciality food he likes, you could buy a nice cheese or some special olives from the deli counter in the supermarket. One really nice bottle of ale is under £2 and looks nice too. You could make him a birthday cake or some muffins and put them in a nice box, or how about some birthday cookies? You can make them very inexpensively and if you can get hold of some of that cellophane stuff that flowers are wrapped in, make a special package - very professional!
