I am stuck for idaeas for my 30 year old brother. He has a good job so tends to buy only the best quality things. He is really sporty so was thinking something along that line but can't think of anything imaginative.

What do you buy the man who has everything?

Oooh, it's tricky, isn't it? What sports does he like? Does he have a partner? (Is a joint present an option?!)

I've drawn a blank on my bro and his girlfriend this year so I'm thinking of making them up a hamper with some nice wine and deli items in it.

If all else fails, can you get him some vouchers?

I would ask him!

He is single. Into skiing, running and walking. I have asked him and he says he wants a surprise.

Don't you just love it when they ask for a surprise?!
What is the budget?

If the budget can take it I would look into gift experiences. It sounds like he doesn't need any stuff or will buy it himself if he does.
Boots offer gift experience packages but I am sure other places do too.

Budget is about £40 so don't think I can get anything that great as mens clothes seem so expensive and sports kit too.

designer scarf for when he's out walking?

That might buy a lovely cashmere scarf - oooh I want one too :)
Will keep thinking.

You need to get him something daft and unusual from one of these places:
