Present idea for older men (both relatives!) - hard to buy for.

I'm after ideas for present ideas for brother's father-in-law (always get him something) and for my uncle (mum's sister's husband).

Brother's FIL - he's late 50's, medically retired, has a wheelchair as has cerebral palsy and stroke - so limited mobility and limited use of hand etc.

So far for brother's FIL - got Royal Opera House vouchers/gift tokens as he likes opera. Last year got mug from Whittard filled with coffee beans (ground) and Lindt coffee based chocolate. He liked both these ideas.

He likes:- learning languages, art (seeing it), cinema and travel. Also likes rugby (lives in Bath). Bear in mind, most if not all ideas probably been thought of!

He's in late 50's, doesn't work. Did do building work. Has collection of motorbikes. Likes country stuff, gardening (shooting etc) but likes animals and isn't a *country type* - e.g. not posh! has a cheeky side. Got Barbour socks one year and mug for garage (where he works a lot) which had pic of motorbike and his name on it (quite manly). Really stuck for both these people though! Any ideas would be appreciated.

For your brothers fil I like Grand Prix legends for bike memorabilia. Also how about some muc-off (halfords do it, also amazon etc) and some microfibre cloths. My oh is into bikes and he is rather OCD about cleaning them!

What sort of shooting does your uncle do? Does he have a gun, and if so what sort - air rifle, pistol or shotgun? You could buy him some air rifle pellets (or gun cartridges) and a pack of the paper targets so he can shoot at those rather than wildlife. Or maybe a gun cleaning kit, or a night sight. A shooting/outdoor magazine, hip flask, fingerless gloves and some instant handwarmers would make quite a nice gift basket.

Does he support any particular rugby team (ie Bath?) - the club might have some stuff you could buy, such as a DVD of greatest tries, or a club jersey.
