I really need help - brother turning 60 soon, and don’t know what to get. Budget up to €200 (Ireland).

He has loads of unused (so far) hotel vouchers. He doesn’t play sport/read/drink wine etc.

His biggest interest now is restoring vintage vehicles and going to shows/rallies to do with that. He’s been to the Dorset one and the main Irish ones.

He sources the parts etc himself, but I would prefer not to give him money. But I can’t think what to get. Help please!

Would he go to a comedy gig/ concert or show for a night with you? In Ireland too and just heard ardal o hanlon is playing in Killarney in November and thought that would be a great gift

Bit wierd, but we got my brother a leather footstool in the shape of a hippo - his wife said he wanted it.

I got mine and over 60s rail pass

Thanks folks, tickets could be good. But not rail ones, he’d probably not use them. Great idea though, I’d like that myself. Love the hippo stool - maybe some other shape for him though 😂
