Have bought him a mini rc helicopter in the past which went down well. Now need to find something else and I'm struggling. Does anyone have any ideas? He's not into music so CD's are out the window.

I'm not saying he's follicaly challenged, but a comb wouldn't get a lot of use.

Blokes buy presents for their mates?

Seriously?

When did this nonsense start then?

They'll be going to the bog in pairs next!

Set of Wera kraftform screwdrivers

[url= http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/wera-kraftform-plus-6-pc-lasertip-set-301823 ]Wera Screwdriver set - £19.99[/url]

Most blokes slog on with a set of ancient, worn out screwdrivers and don't think to replace them.

He'll be thanking you for years if you get him these. Unless he's a proper tool tart or tradesman, in which case he probably already has them.

Of course you buy your mates presents.
You'll be telling me you don't dish out 'man hugs' soon?
Lots of good ideas especially that website.
Unfortunately I think he's probably got less interests than anyone else I know.
He does like bikes though, so I might have to think about something along those lines.
Failing that, coke and hookers it is!

If bikes are the only interest you can think of, a 5 pack of inner tubes? Boring but practical!

Even just buying him a can of coke, I'm concerned about the level of hookers you're looking at for twenty quid.

Fenix E12 pocket torch, 130 lumens in your pocket.

Even betterer, one of these:
ThruNite® Ti CREE LED 162 Lumen Key-ring AAA Flashlight (Cool White)
Can't get a link, I've just bought one from Amazon, and it keeps taking me to my order page. Bought it to replace my old Fenix LD01, which I left a battery in which leaked....
Cleaned it all out, but it's gone a bit flaky, and looking around the various EDC pages, this one was recommended. Titanium body, has a useful firefly 0.5lmn mode, and 160lmn from a AAA battery is bloody impressive. Really pleased with it, perfect keyring torch, and it's right on your budget. It's a lot more expensive elsewhere, well over £30 on a lot of sites.

About this time of year some supermarkets sell 10 year old Aberlour for a fraction over £20. It's usually over £30. Nice tipple.
