40th pressie help please

Ok, a friend of ours is turning 40 at the end of the month, he's very techhy, very into comics/cult films etc, he's got a sweet tooth but worst of all - he's loaded - so buys everything he ever wants, he's got thousands of dvds/books/comics/cds/gadgets etc He's not into sport or anything house or garden related. His wife's on holiday for the next 3 weeks so I can't contact her to get any ideas either!!

I've done him a sweetie box from an idea I saw on here at Xmas but I need some more ideas.

I can't afford to spend more than £20 as he's having a big party and we've got to pay out for hotels/drinks etc.

Any ideas????

    Last year I won a book titled Passing time in the Loo published by Scarab. Laughed about it and put it in the downstairs loo. Its basically everything you need to know about everything but not in a tacky way, quotes, biographies, story overviews of famous books. Its a book you would never go out and buy but the amount of different people who have picked it up and commented (whilst paying a visit :o ) We recently gave a copy to a doctor friend for his 50th like your friend has everything, who was over the moon.

    Ive seen it on Amazon but bought the copy I gave away off the high street, its priced about £15 but looks nice quality and wrapped in some special paper would in my opinion be more than enough.

    Hope this helps, enjoy your party :beer:
    2013 the year to be more organised :p
