Hard to buy for brother in law

Looking for ideas for my brother in law

Aged 50, unmarried no kids
Doesn’t drink alcohol or tea or coffee
Picky about food
Very overweight so clothes would be tricky
No hobbies but likes watching football and follows a non local team

Last year we got him a book subscription which was well received but don’t want to do the same again this year as that shows a real lack of imagination. But I’m drawing a real blank for this one. Anyone got any good ideas?

Tech?

Phone charging stand, phone case, man bag, coffee flask, hamper

Bamboo Socks
Bluetooth/ touch hat (it has wireless headphones and a torch so dog walking is a breeze....with the added benefit of keeping my head warm!)

Oops posted to soon.
Interesting book depending on his interests
Decent pair of gloves
Nice scarf

Something from the football team's online store? My DH bought himself a nice scarf from the team he supports. It's a nice colour with the badge at the end, so not obviously a football scarf.

Alexa and smart bulb
Game for you to play together
Hat in his football colours eg. Oddballs

Does he have a car?
If so what about vouchers for valet service? Or if hes like my bil and does his own you can buy the car wash kit by demon i think the brand is.
Nice coffee/tea subscription

Shit i missed the bit about tea/coffee. Scrstch that suggestion lol.

Native union long charging cable, they do one with a weighted knot so it doesn’t slip of the sofa, table or wherever, quite handy
Would he like a house plant subscription? Beards and Daisy’s do them, I’ve bought plants from them and they’re been good quality

YorkieTheRabbit · 17/12/2021 09:27

That should say Beards and Daisies Xmas Blush

Maybe a 2022 calendar with the said football team? You can use a personalized calendar maker to make a custom one, i.e. with his and his family birthdays highlighted or maybe highlight game days if the team already has a schedule.
The team's online store is also worth investigating, stuff like t-shirt or gloves would be nice for a fan.
