What pressie to get brother in law living in Spain

Hello,

My BIL and his wife has recently moved out to Spain. I've already got her pressie but I have no idea what to get him?
Can anyone suggest something?

I'm trying to think of things that maybe they haven't thought they would need over there - or maybe something they'd use there but no over here?

I'm planning to post it so I've got to be careful about size / weight / not breakable...

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: I really could do with some ideas...

    It really depends on what sort of lifestyle they have and where they live in Spain. you can get everything if you live in a 'britsh' area, but if you're away from the coast and in the countryside it's a bit different.
    English books are always sort after and I couldn't buy a potato masher or cake cooling tray anywhere over here!
    Sounds mundane but and English diary/journal would be useful, as Spanish ones have the weeks set out differently

    :T They are both fantastic ideas :T - diary (plus a calander I thought) and a hammock as well (if I can find one that isn't too expensive). He doesn't read much so I leave that.
    We are thinking of getting him a load of old style sweets that he loves too.

    Thanks for that I would never have thought.

    Always glad of more suggestions though (his birthday's just before Xmas too!)
