Xmas present under £10 for a male

Not sure if you can help but any ideas would be good :j

Secret Santa drawn at work and I've got someone who has been on the sick ever since I started working here. All I know about him is he likes caravaning and is due to retire in January.

Previously he has mentioned to me when he's joined us for birthday meals etc that he likes different types of beers. (However I think last year someone bought him a selection of 5).

I'm really stuck. The present is to be of no more than £10 and to be an actual gift - not a silly jokey one.

I looked up the grow your own beer kit, but it seems you only grow the hops so not sure if that would be of use to him or not.

Any help anyone??
Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    I've seen quite a few of those beer cases- I am sure all the supermarkets do them. You can get 3 beers for £5. I am sure he would like that?

    If he likes beer, I wonder if he likes a stronger tipple, as if he does, what about a hipflask?

  • mapsworldwide.com do a number of camping and caravanning guides covering Britain and Europe for around £10, or try on Amazon.
  • look for a campsite book that selects by pubs nearby?

    If you think somone bought beer before why not get something like a wind up radio or wind up LED torch that he could use with the caravan...no idea about the price of a wind up radio but they are for sale in wilkinsons at the moment...it could be around the £10 mark...a wind up LED torch is certainly under £10 as I have recently bought one from ebay for a stocking filler...
    failing that how about a scarf or some gloves to keep him warm if hes a winter caravanner...

    after years of careful choosing for DH's work Secret santa and getting rubbish back he saves effort and time now by giving the appropriate value of scratch cards.
