A few suggestions, no doubt you'll get more ideas in the morning when peeps brains are fresher than mine is now!
A dog tag neckace engraved with a personal message.
A decent watch, always acceptable.
Search ebay for memorabilia of his favourite team
If you have a garden a small tree/plant/shrub
An electric razor, or if he's a wet shave man a smart shaving kit
A camera, or digital photo frame
A piece of artwork/picture/statue
A mini fridge filled with his favourite beer0 -
As a league 1 football season ticket holder, I know I'd appreciate a corporate hospitality day at the club I support. Most league one clubs do this so you could ring up and see what they offer? Would be I'd think £100 at most for 2 of you, so you'd have a bit left over for a little something else

It's my OH's 21st birthday at the end of March also.
I've decided to take him away to a hotel he's always wanted to go too.. but i've also asked him what he wants.. he really wants a microphone (this is to do with his job). I know this might not help you.. but prehaps just ask him?0 -

Asking him seems to be the sensible option. You could always get a small surprise as well if you don't want him to choose everything.
Does he drink alcohol? - anything particular?
I generally end up buying a good bottle of whisky for my OH when I'm stuck for a present. I've also got him mailorder beer as a surprise before.
How about going out for a meal and staying overnight in a hotel? Or cooking something nice at home and having an evening snuggled on the sofa with a small present?
Could you contact the football club and see if he could meet the players or get a shirt signed by all the players?
Have you spoken to his friends to see if they have any ideas?0 -

for christmas i did the signed flag instead of a shirt and he loves it!
alcohol wouldnt work as he isnt a big drinker.
love the meal idea he keeps banging on about a massage so i have seen a spa near us doing 2 for 1 so very :money:so that would leave me with about £70
sparrer i was thinking electric razor on my other post they have had a bad review tho so maybe not
i like the dog tag idea! i love that! now to think of a good quote. what else can you get engraved, i love love love love quotes so much i have one tattooed on my foot! so something personal engraved or presented some way would be amazing.
i like to be creative with presents and not just do hey here 150 quids worth of stuff from a shop.
thank you for your ideas gang! x0 -
Spa session for two with private sala would be ideal and if you can combine it with an overnight stay at a hotel (where the spa is) then all the better. Look at Groupon, Lastminute, etc.0

Kindle? Camera? Remote-controlled helicopter?0

I second a kindle if he doesnt have one already - for £150 you could even pre load it with some of his favorite books?Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000
