(aside from coke and hookers)
Over the years we've managed to cover a lot of stuff, ipods when they first came out, year pass to cinema, cooking lessons etc
This year getting him music and prob a shirt and some books but anything a bit more exciting that people have come across?
He's into films, music and reading-esp liked the durer programme on beeb recently
ideas?
Kindle e-reader?
loakes/church/trickers or any other full leather shoes.
something to last.
Unicycle
aside from coke and hookers
ketamin and a dominatrix?
Viagra
thought about the kindle but i reckon it'll be like ipods and in a few models they'll be offering far more features.
he has some smart shoes he loves
the other presents may be wasted i fear
Condoms.
Kindle is cheap enough that it doesn't matter if it's obsolete in a few years, if you waited for the final version of any technological item you'd wait forever. If he's a reader, he'll love a Kindle. I do.
Year's subscription to a magazine, leather toiletries bag, super-expensive shirt, cashmere jumper, designer leather belt, Samson overnight bag/suitcase, year's subscription to the dvd's by post (can't remember name), cufflinks, 1 day workshop of some description, ie creative or practical.

I'm 50 something and none of that sounds at all appealing. How about tickets to some decent upcoming gigs (and I don't mean Status Quo). Personally, I'd love a Ti cookset or a really nice bivvy bag
Oh dear, sorry guys!!
Naturally druid I would bow down to your impeccable taste [s]do you want to sell your Blur?[/s] and feel you have made a valid point. 🙂
😳
C_g, I'm afraid that nothing on your list appeals in the slightest, and I'm 56! A pair of 5:10 shoes, a ticket to see Arcade Fire at the O2, an iPod Touch or iPad, maybe a pair of Howies Japanese Selvedge denims, now you're talking. 😀
OK, I assumed this was for a non-cyclist. Cyclists are trendy and rad so anything goes. 😀
Can I just say that fellow over-50's that I come across who do not cycle may appreciate my suggestions. Riding bikes keeps you young, doesn't it? 😉

If I was a reader the Kindle would be nice(got wife one) anything with the i logo would be good to.
Being a bikey type I need lots of bike stuff inc shoes, forks, brakes etc, etc.
Being or have been into cars so a track day would be ace.
Like my music so tickets to anything would be good.
Personally I am happy with nothing and buying/getting what I want when I need it. Just the way it has always been for me.
Grand kids on the otherhand mean I get little or none of the above 🙄
got him tickets to brian wilson year before last
maybe a kindle then but i know he's like me and likes having books
cg you can buy me a christmas present anytime you like 🙂
Interesting present ideas for a 50 something man...
hmmm...
anything a bit more exciting that people have come across
Ahh, 💡
How about a rampant rabbit?
Guitar & lessons.
Pair of Doc Marten shoes/boots.
Good compact camera.
Leatherman.
A nice hat.
I-pod dock.
Pair of rock climbing boots & a harness.
Any hobbies he loved when he was younger but gave up when he a started a family? Fishing, something like that?
Scalextric!!!

+1 for the scalextric! Or one of those big kites that are really cheap these days and will add a sense of danger and broken hip to his life!! I want one!
not into scalectrix and only thing he did when younger and not now is go to football which he isn't bothered about going to. it's not easy 🙁 Bought him a camera last year

Then get him an iPad. He can use it as a photo album amongst other things.
Decent drill and a lawnmower.
ipad is a great idea but way out of my budget sadly
lives in a flat without a garden, maybe the whisky though
iPod touch + a year's subscription to spotify = all the music he can eat?
(bit pricey mind, unless he has ipod/android/symbian device already)
Love that little bit of 1 lane track by the way elfin! Is that the micro scalextric stuff?
