Christmas present help - Dad

I have spent weeks thinking about this and all morning on internet trying to find the right present but so far I can think of nothing.
My dad is mid 40's, things which he enjoy include going gym, out with friends, weekends away and most importantly his dogs
Possibilities are
- Nice wallet
- Diesel Jeans
- Skin care?
- Clothes?
But I am not sure of them.
He has an ipad so maybe something for that? (just got a case for birthday), I am not sure what I could get ipad related?
He is going on holiday in the new year - maybe something related to that?
I am looking to spend up to £100 and do not mind if this is one present or a few smaller. Just do not want to buy stuff for the sake of it.
Please help

The first thing that came to mind is a digital photo frame. That way he could have a permanent display of photos of the dogs and his holidays away constantly changing.
Weekends away - nice holdall/soap bag, casual but smart shirt (Next maybe).
Your Dad sounds like my husband (except for the gym bit), my hubby into Weird Fish casual tops for socialising atm.
Good luck0 -
I had never thought of a digital photo frame but that's a great idea, would be perfect for his office, thank you 0

Smaller gifts: maybe something for his dogs if they are a big part of his life like new collars or leads?
If he is going away is that flying? I am thinking of a woven luggage strap with his name woven into it. Very useful when identifying thousands of black cases in the arrivals hall!!

Take a very good picture (best resolution) of him and dogs or just the dogs to a place that puts photos onto canvas.
Transform your images is the one I use they come up great.
For little travel bits a book about the country or language guide?
