    Thanks everyone :beer:, I'm opting for a book (I did think of putting it on my kindle for him, but I read all the time on holiday and so we'd be fighting over it - plus I think he'd prefer the 'feel' of a book as he only ever reads on holiday, the teeeniest pair of speedos I can find:rotfl: (thanks alleycat), a dvd I know he's been after and possibly a pair of sunglasses if I can find a sporty pair of a reasonable price.

    itsanne - it's not the uncomfortable bit about spending more, more that we are having Christmas at home when we get back (we're away for Christmas and my birthday) and we said we'd have Christmas at home, but we've said we will have some small things to open when away.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
