To ask for help with a present?

It's been a crazy start to the year for me and I completely forgot about my DBros birthday.
He's 21 so it's a big one usually I wouldn't be fretting so much and if it was last min would put some money in a card or get him a voucher, but I feel like I should really get him something a bit more thought out.

Unfortunately because I forgot to account for it my budget is £50 MAX at a big stretch so would ideally like to land below that. He's currently saving up for something he's been wanting for ages but a contribution of £50 won't really make much of a dent in the total sum he needs plus it will probably be withered away on other things like his savings so far have been (car repairs/not enough hours at work etc), so I would rather buy him something he can use but my mind goes blank.

Any suggestions?

I think with that kind of budget, maybe something nostalgic from his childhood. Perhaps the Now CD from the year he was born, his favourite board game or a present he really wanted for Christmas but never got (mine was a chemistry set, still hurts). Or opt for a really nice bottle of whiskey or something to toast him with that he'd never splash out on himself.

How about a nice leather wallet? That's what I got mine for his 21st as he's still got it. Then pop a fiver in it Wink
