Anyone care to suggest a present for someone fitting the following profile....

- bloke
- 30 years old (obviously!)
- into road cycling, doing iron mans and triatholons at a fairly high level
- runs a triatholon club
- well paid so there isn't anything he 'needs' as such

Budget is 100 quid.... thinking of something like a whisky drinking set, but less rubbish. Want something that'll be resonably long lived - it's from me and a couple of other mates...

Get a whisky that's the same age he is?

One of [url= http://www.presso.co.uk/ ]these[/url]? Assuming he likes coffee? And a nice coffee subscription will put that near your budget!

For my 40th I got a bottle of 40 year old port. That was about £100, so 30 year old should be similar.

1970 was an excellent vintage too, apparently!

Bump - any suggestions on where to get 30 year old whisky from?

Any other suggestions on ideas for presents from the day time crowd?

A driving day - just got one for the brother-in-law's 30th - 9 laps of Silverstone in a supercharged Lotus for £145 (in the January sale, normally £195).

Saw some other deals around the £100 mark for less laps/different cars such as Mini Coopers etc

A less pricey whiskey (assuming he likes whiskey, that is) and a couple of decent glasses to drink it out of?

How about that ridiculously expensive corkscrew - it is a Campagnolo one??
Just over £100 - here:

Why don't you pay me to take you both multi-pitch rock climbing in wales for the day?

What?
