What do I buy for a 60th birthday - work colleague?

[katierocket]

lovely man, but he is a bit 'the man who has everything'. I'm stumped. Suggestions?

[jolou1]

Have a look in the BBC shop (You can access via bbc.co.uk) Lots of talking books, nice books linked to tv series etc. Very useful.

[lemonice]

if he reads then the Penguin Book mugs (reproductions of the original book covers) are popular with all age groups (I've recommended them on here before!!!)and yes I do have a vested interest...

[Miaou]

Was going to suggest some nice earrings then realised it was a man....

Can't think of any sensible suggestions now!

[katierocket]

like the idea of the talking books jolou. Lemonice, good idea but I think he a bit posh for that(in a nice way). It's hard enough buying presents for men in the first place let alone older ones who aren't related to you.

[csa]

a nice bottle of port?

[dollyeyes]

Book token?

[DaddyCool]

kanga-pants.

[GhostofNatt]

theatre tokens?

[motherinferior]

Champagne.

[WideWebWitch]

Yeah, can't go wrong with Champagne.

[katierocket]

he's a bit of a wine conisseur (sp?) but I think you're right champagne always goes down well. I also like the book token idea.

[DaddyCool]

is he into whiskey?? because i can't point you in the direction of a perfect present if he is. a top notch single malt that can't be bought in the shops, about £35 with delivery and guaranteed to make a single malt fan's eye's bulge out of head when he opens it.

[DaddyCool]

i can even lol.

[katierocket]

yes daddycool that would be really useful

[DaddyCool]

ok here it is. the whiskey in question is 'Edradour' featured right on the initial home page in the middle. (29.99 but i think delivery is about £5 or £6)

you can't get this bad boy in the shops so it's a really good gift for a scotch fan. feel free to purchase me one out of the kindness of your heart. call it an early birthday present from you to me

[katierocket]

LOL
it's good then is it? I know bugger all about whiskey

[DaddyCool]

it's very exclusive.

[BareFootAngel]

or theres always a case of nice treats ..inc toffee waffles!![lol]jams wine etc [sneakerly find out what his favs are]
