    Do you shop in Tesco? You can use Tesco clubcard vouchers for magazine subscriptions. I've got the OH's brother Empire film magazine for about £11 for a year subscription. There are quite a few subscriptions to choose from - www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals

    How about retro sweetie jars/boxes? I'm doing these too for some 'big' kids.

    Beer hampers are on the cards for my brother and BIL also. I'm putting different Croat beers in a bucket and then adding bits like a book for BIL on his fav football club, brother is having a beer cookery book, and then other stuff like T-shirt, socks, CD/DVD peanuts, scratchings.
