    How about photos of him growing up. Think Ikea still sell the wire photo trees. You could have lots of fun with them. Also what about bowls of his favourite childhood sweets

  • make bowls out of vinyl records (if you are using bowls)


    how about a topiary tree made with colours for his footy team ( fairly inexpensive) you can do this with any paper or sweets :)

    Have a look at https://www.mychocolateexplosion.co.uk, I saw these today at our local hospital and thought they would be easy to make your own.

    Vinyl record bowls sound fab with some old fashioned sweets. They look easy to make too. I painted terracotta plant pots with wood and metal paint for my wedding. Some ribbon and oasis and then what ever you want to add. I think the records are more blokey though.

    Jars of sweets are always a winner - especially if you pick ones from his childhood. They maybe just tie a balloon to them.
