    If he doesn't really WANT something, you would probably be worth going for an 'experience' - drive a train, F1 car etc
    Most of these offer something for the family that go to watch, meal etc, so it is something special.
    [I certainly don't need him to have more stuff in the house!]

    Not sure where you live, but it may worth looking around for a river cruise or even a journey on a steam train.

    They usually do a meal/ entertainment as part of the deal and it may work out cheaper than an experience day - quite often the experience only lasts for an hour or two!

    I did the steam train journey a couple of years ago...it was combined with a 'murder mystery' evening and was excellent value.
    Stopped smoking 20th October 2012 :D

    This year I will have something that resembles a garden and not a building site!
