The wife keeps asking me and I have no idea as I tend to just buy what I need.

Nothing bike related as barely give it a glance in the shed, never mind ride it!

Budget - we don't go mad - up to £100.

All ideas welcome - but you only get low-grade C&H for that sort of money. 🙂

Possibles:-
Edifice Watch
More Vinyl
Coat
More Vinyl
Something F1 related
More Vinyl

Hey, I was gonna say a Bluetooth speaker!

JBL Flip 3 here. So useful for listening to my podcasts while I do chores or work on the bikes.

Failing that, maybe cake and hookers would work out cheaper?

£100 worth of coke tell the wife she'll need to be the hooker since your working to a budget.

Old vinyl. There's plenty of stuff in the world already and vinyl is one of those things where you can get a lot secondhand for not much money.

We've got fed up of acquiring endless stuff so have a 'consumables or experiences' rule for gifts. Only exception is music, so I'd say more vinyl

A giant tandoori munchy box.

By my calculations, £100 would buy you one 12 and a half feet in diameter.

An Alpkit Brukit. I've just got one for my birthday, its fantastic. Go sit in a field, make yourself a really big cuppa, and scream at the world.

And £60 left for a night out at your local indian.

In unrelated news, I noticed my local Sainsburys still sell Special Brew

Decent meal out.

A giant tandoori munchy box.

By my calculations, £100 would buy you one 12 and a half feet in diameter.

QS should be able to negotiate a round £13.

Get a couple of things you already own and use gold plated such as a remote control or your favorite 10mm spanner.

Useful, luxurious and classy.
It's full of win.

Give your wife 95[s]9[/s] quid to go and take the kids/herself out for the day and get yourself an [s]asda[/s] good Melton Mowbray pork pie, a beer and an afternoon snooze on the sofa

Ftfy it was an otherwise excellent plan but seriously suggesting Asda on here? Can we ban him?

Don't. I've been. It's nowhere near as fun as you might imagine. No different to looking at a museum of medical apparatus

Do the Heritage hangar tour at biggin hill, sit in a spitfire, watch the 2 seat one take off and land.

Done much help for your birthday, but when asked for gift ideas for myself I tend to draw a blank so I've now started to right ideas down when they come in to my head.
