Mod/vespa scooter hamper ideas??

Hi all

This is my 1st post so I hope I manage to get it right.

It is OH's 40th 2 days after fathers day and I am really struggling for ideas on what to get him. He bought an old vespa not too long ago so I have thought that I could try to theme a hamper around that but that is as far as I have got.:confused:

Can any of you kind MSE help me out, please?

Thanks

    Hmm - hope this doesn't gross you out, but when I think Vespas/Lambrettas, I think squirrel tails :o:p

    ETA: just typed Vespa into ebay and clicked on automobilia, some great ideas here.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    knowing how reliable they are (not!!) an rac/aa type policy! :rotfl:

    how about full on mod accesories, target mud flaps, retro enamel signs (seen a cool one said something like scooter parking only- try putting retro & vintage in as well as scooter. mini scooter models are quite reasonable too. A patch for his coat/parka of a local scooter club, scootering magazine subscription.

    Hope these ideas useful, you didnt give any budget. :confused:

    get yourself oon the back of it, its fab!!

    I think one of the charity shops sell the new money boxes in the shape of scooters? Can't remember which but I bought a VW campervan one last year for less than a fiver.

    Quick Google brings up this one
