any ideas what to buy a soldier for Xmas

I am trying to think of something 'novelty/funny' for my nephew who is 18 and is in the army (based in UK - not in a war zone.....yet). He has a really good sense of humour & I would love to get him T-shirt, socks/undies etc with an military (not political) xmas theme.......am I asking too much?

    Designed to protect the finger. These also can go over the end of a rifle and stop mud etc. entering it.

    They also have a remarkable resemblence to something a male dwarf would use to prevent pregnancy in his girlfriend..

    Would provide a talking point if presented as a rifle protector as everyone would see the possibilities ......

    My hubby is a soldier. he has been to a few places.

    After the irak war, I bought him a sketch about Saddam. It is really good and he loves it. Saddam lays in his hidda hole in the ground. A lot of soldiers standing on the entrance of it. Saddam asking: " Dinner time already Ahmed?"

    Hope it makes sense. It is a good little picture.

    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!
