Please help me find a brilliant birthday gift!

[LilyMyOneAndOnly]

My brother is turning 40 in December and I want to buy him something special but I can't think of anything! Please help me!

He's a programmer who works long hours from home.
Vegan.
Likes coffee and gin.
Has a cat.
Also a member of a rock band.

I want to find him something that's useful but unusual, budget up to about £50, I'm drawing a blank!

One of the best gifts I got DH was a coffee subscription.

My favourite go to make presents are Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman.

What does he play (in the band?)

My coffee loving DH loves his aeropress to make coffee.
Also has a cold drip still thing, and makes his own gins with various aromatics.
Or nice gin
If plays guitar could get a nice strap, or special plectrum maybe.

He plays guitar and is a vocalist, he also has a drum kit but that's more for fun I think! He's one of those people who gets himself anything he wants, but really appreciates a well thought out gift. Previously I've bought him a dressing gown (said it was his most used present ever!) and a wild life camera which he appreciated (he likes tech stuff), he has a good coffee maker already

Maybe join in with someone else and give him a VR experience? We've been twice and it's totes amaze balls 😜

That's a great idea but he actually has programmed for the oculus rift thingy so has a complete VR set up at home!

A telescope is a nice gift

Also a print or piece of artwork to go on his walls?

I know it’s the most boring thing ever, but i WFH and love my heated throw (as I don’t have to have the heating on!)

I love mine too! I got him one a few Christmas's ago!

He has a telescope (can you see a pattern here!) But a print is a good shout, I'm going to an art fair next weekend so will keep an eye out

Ah the drip thing sounds cool, will look into that!

Skull Crusher coffee. As my partner said "I had one cup and I was off my tits".

Ah now that is going on the list! The packaging is spot on too!!

ROUNDFIRE Concrete Table Top Fire Pit - Bioethanol Fire, Smokeless Fire Pit, Fire Bowl, Mini Personal Fireplace for Indoor and Outdoor Use. amzn.eu/d/5siHcmJ

Maybe a bottle of dead man’s fingers coffee rum, to go with the skull crusher coffee (I’m not normally a rum drinker, but it really is good).

How about a portrait of his cat?
Like this?

That is hilarious!! I think he'd love it!

Yes! A good theme going there for an old goth (forgot to mention that but about him too!)

It's actually for coffee. A cold brew machine. He got one for coffee, and one to do gin! Hope the link works - its a "dripster" on amazon.

He sounds a bit like my brother.

skull crusher coffee went down very well with him a couple of years ago alongside this mug and spoon.

He also loved a limited edition bottle of Kraken rum and a voucher for a workshop to make a hammered silver ring.

Reported my post - think link had a prob.
Is to a cold brew coffee drip contraption - called a dripster.
