Secret Santa Help

I'm taking part in our work's secret santa. The person I have to buy for is a middle-aged man, he likes bikes, puzzles and making things. Budget's £10. I was thinking maybe something like a version of k'nex for adults if such a thing exists? Or any other suggestions welcome!

    I'd go with the safe option and get a decent bottle of red wine, and perhaps hang a pretty Christmas decoration around the neck. Asda have some lovely tree decorations for £2.

    Alternatively, if you really want to go with the puzzle type idea, Happy Puzzle Company have some nice brain teaster type games and puzzles.
