What do I get a 65 year old for birthday?

My dear partner turns 65 on Tuesday but he's SO difficult to buy for and I really wanted to give a special present for my pension age chap.

He's not into clothes or eating out and doesn't need anything for his flat. The only thing he loves is music but his tastes are so diverse (anything to do with the 60s is always a favourite) that I couldn't begin to guess who he would like to go and see. He has a little music studio in a spare bedroom but its full of equipment I don't even know what it does.(you can tell I can't play a note!)

I have racked my brain for a month and feel like a total rubbish "girl" friend (well, I am SO much younger at 58!)

Any suggestions (keep it clean) welcome

How about a decent portable radio, fm and DAB - plus internet if you can afford it? Or put together a memory stick of 60s music along with other songs you know he likes, plus some theme tunes from childrens programmes he would know from his younger days? In my days it would have been a mixed tape on cassette! Yes, he probably has most of the tracks, but it's the thought that goes into making your own selection that makes it special. Make a cake and buy some flowers/a nice plant?

magazine subscription? and always a cake...

Books about the Sxities music and cultural scene, if he's a reader? Oral histories are always interesting, stuff like that. He's probably got spare time now, so book time will become more accessible for him.

My Dad just turned 65 and I bought him a nice bottle of Brandy. He was well pleased. Quite pricey but it should last him a while!
