ARGH
please help!

What does he like to do with any free time he has?

Weather station?
Plants
Trees
Good wine

If he is into the Beatles, how about the Sargeant Pepper pepper grinder from www.firebox.com

A bit of fun....

Or a really good veg/paring/peeling knife or other man's type kitchen utensil. A good olive wood or granite pestle and mortar.

If he wet shaves anything from GEO Trumpers, the men's grooming store is super luxe. Of their post electric shave items.

A leather diary holder that is personalised. A really good shoe care kit.

A delivery of good steaks from a good online meat supplier. Ditto cheese a month.

Whisky?

Does he go out for days? National Trust membership? I bought my dad a book of scenic drives this year - this one
A really tricky jigsaw?

Cashmere scarf, nice leather gloves
Good quality pen
Photo mouse mat, keyring etc of Grandchildren
Books or dvds if you know his likes/dislikes
Sheepskin slippers

yes maybe Trumpers stuff
Thanks all.

Book? collected letters P G Wodehouse or frozen planet

complete wainwright or explorers or best walks
plus a flask or bottle of malt whisky or port?

Nostalgia box? Perhaps the year he was born/got married: sweets, newspaper articles (print off the Free Access Times Digital Archive), card game (Happy Families etc. - M&S have some old-fashioned games at 1/2 price atm), DVD of a film from that year.
