Gift ideas for middle-aged men

I have quite a few middle-ages men to buy xmas gifts for, but I'm stuck as to what to get them?

Budget is £30 per person.

They're all into cooking. None are into golf or football (which seems to be the theme of so many gifts at this type of person!)

An expensive olive oil, balsamic vinegar, wine vinegar.

Have a look at Not on the High Street - there are some fab things on there, cooking related

Wooden cookbook stand and cookbook
Knife (some good deals atm) or knife sharpener
Meat thermometer and BBQ/oven heavy duty gloves
Paul Hollywood Bread book and sourdough starter kit

Tablet stand for online recipes?

3 month subscription to curry club or spicery

New recipe book? Good bottle of port + some artisan cheese + fancy crackers? (I'm a middle aged woman who likes cooking / eating & would be chuffed with either of those!)

Subscription to BBC Good Food, Olive or another food magazine? Might stretch the £30 budget, but sometimes you can get cheaper offers.

Something from here?

Or a gridit. Not food related but still a great present.

Oh, that Gridit thing looks great. Might get one for myself.

Slightly over your budget but my husband was a very happy receiver of this a few years back and it's going strong still.

Just seen this one which is pretty much your budget

I just bought DH a stocking filled with spicy snacks - he loves the challenge of a hot snack.
