What about a hamper?
I think you could keep it below £10.
You could get a medium/large gift page from Poundshop.
What about a nice type of beer or wine (or both for that matter) glass, a pedometer (you can get these at the poundshops too), a mini football..or if you are feeling generous enough, you could do a homemade voucher offering to serve him beer or food throughout one (and only one!) football match that he watches at home.
something along those lines...may not have helped, but i hope so..0 -
Argos had the mini football trivial p game reduced to £3.99. That with some special ales (tescos have a good range) for about £2 a bottle.
Makes for a great fun night of quiz playing and beer!!Proud to be DEBT FREE AT LAST0 -

Thanks I will keep that in mind. The voucher idea I don't think I could do at the moment as he would wind me up too muchduring the game. We support opposing teams.;)Skint- Gall
