Urgent gift help needed!

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

Criteria:-

60 year old male
Labourer as a trade
Grandpa (not mine or my kids!)
Never reads
Likes one particular spirit but I've the feeling everyone will buy that
Works all the frigging time so activity gifts a no no
Budget up to 30quid
Need to be able to go to a store and purchase as needed by Friday (live in a city so easy to access lots of stores)

I can't think. Do I go fun/gimmick e.g. the loaf of bread slippers I've seen online? Do I try and buy something more thoughtful (but we won't see each other all the time so no clue what would be thoughtful).

Any suggestions?

A nice flask or travel mug for hot drinks while working?

Some heavy duty thermal socks and a thermal top for working through winter

A nice merino wool snood/ neck warmer thing

Box set of dvds.

Warm hat
Winter set for the car (or Halfords voucher)
Or any voucher?

Coffee shop/ Greggs/Tesco voucher. I'm sure he has drinks or lunch while he's working

Screwfix vouchers, decent thick socks. Steel toe cap boots don't warm up well!

Warm and waterproof hat like this:

(Similar available in Go Outdoors etc.)

Does he like going to the cinema if he gets any down time? Could you get him a voucher for his local cinemaplex?
Is there a particular barber that is a bit of a treat (i.e. does hot towel shaves and other types of treatments) - you could get him a voucher for there maybe?
Maybe some technology - a good set of headphones - www.argos.co.uk/product/7097470

never do novelty. you might as well burn £10 notes

Jumper
Dressing gown
Binoculars
Bird table
Garden ornament

A Stanley flask.

Never novel. I'd just get the spirit you know he likes

*novelty

Fleece/Jumper
Pjs
Travel mug

A crystal tumbler to drink his spirit from and some whiskey stones.

They are literally stones you put in the freezer and use instead of ice, so they don't dilute your drink.

Scarf and mittens

Thank you so much for these suggestions! I'm off to the shops today with this list. Liking the warm hat and gloves idea and the thermal mug.

My dad is the same and he likes thermal vests, hats,socks,gloves and jodhpurs. Flask or chilly's bottle. He quite likes gadgets- maybe an echo dot? Or some decent food. How about a cheese or sausage subscription or one of those legs of ham from Aldi Lidl etc

Makita lunch bag

A simple Swiss Army knife - super useful

I would buy him gift vouchers for somewhere like subway, /McDonald's/burger king/ coffee shop etc so if he fancies a quick bite or coffee when working he can pop in and get it....it's more useful as a gift and something he more likely to get use from than a novelty gift that will get put in back of a cupboard or in a charity shop by January

Thick padded "work" shirts... Primark used to do them so I expect better places would too!
