partners (male) 35th birthday - HELP!!

Its my partners birthday next week and I have absolutely no idea what to get him.

He has had 2 driving experiences so i dont really want to get him another (although he does love them!!) but I am at a loss as to what else.

He likes football, but doesnt support a particular team, he loves the lake district - but we cant really afford to go away at the moment (petrol money more than anything!) so I really dont know what to do.

Can anyone help?? PLEASE???

    Does he have any other interests? what is your budget?

    Maybe you could make up a picnic of all his favourite foods and take it to a nice peaceful place to spend some time together, if you could do it within walking distance you could add a bottle of wine or champers?

    I am struggling for fathers day for my OH but just used some tesco clubcard deal vouchers and got a photography magazine subscription for £13 for the year, is there nothing like this you could do? I notice in your signature you have lots of points on boots could you do something and use some of them?

    We are actually away on his birthday already (our christmas present to each other - he is doing his driving experience at Silverstone and I am hot air ballooning on the Friday) so I had already thought about getting a really nice picnic together.

    I bought him a subscription to TopGear mag - he never read them - he has about 7 or 8 of them still unopened!

    The Boots points are mine, mine all mine hahahahahahahaa......sorry got a bit carried away there!!lol. I buy my very very expensive perfume with them (meant to change the total, its gone down by 90 quid!!) so I dont really want to use them.

    I dont want to go to wappy, but at the same time, I have got some money put aside. I have already ordered him The Unit series 4 on DVD off the kids, so thats one thing at least!!
