I am having difficulty in deciding what to get my Mums new husband for Christmas. I have a strict budget of £10 as I am trying to increase my payments to my credit card and cataolgue. He is in his early fifties likes to keep fit, likes watching football and enjoys wine and beer.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!!

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..

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!!

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.;)
