My uncles 60th Birthday Present

MissWalshy

Right, i get paid tomorrow and his birthday is on Saturday with a bit of a shindig at his.. I want to buy him something on a budget but which looks pricey. Does that make sense? A gadget or something .. He's really down to earth and not "oldie" at all.

Any help would be gratefuly received.

Budget?? and tell us a lot more about him.
i.e hobbies , life style etc

MissWalshy

Ok, well he's Irish. Loves golf and sports.. He made me the Palace fan I am today although he doesn't go to the games anymore he still has a sort of interest. He's a carpenter and enjoys a drink. A really nice guy. Not sure what else to say.

Oh my budget is £50.

Thanks -

mp3 player, pre load it with the "couch to 5K" running programme as a laugh if he hates running, along with a few of his favourite tunes.
Or load it with some top tips on golf he can listen to on the way round the course??

MissWalshy

Thats a point. I can put some podcasts etc on it.

Thing is he's a construction worker so I can't see him getting much use out of it only when he plays golf and when he does he normally talks to the lad he is out with it?

Hmmm

Pretani

Buy him 3 novelty golf head covers

Leprechaun







Guinness cover







Fighting Irish cover

OK - I have an idea, it sounds very silly but it is an interesting little gadget.... how about a temperature gadget that tells you the weather now - we have one with a little man on - if its going to be cold he has a coat on if really cold he puts hat scarf and a long coat on. In the summer he has a deck chair and swimming trunks on. We look at it every day - you can get the from the weather centre - I paid about £30 - as a golfer he will love it!

Sorry forgot to mention - really super fast delivery - I paid one day it arrived the next.
