21 year old nephew present help

Second year of a family secret Santa and this year I’ve drawn my 21 year old nephew. Budget is £50. I’ve got him a snack subscription box (£12) and some lights on a cork to put in empty bottles. So £35 left.
Hes only just done his list 2 items both from USA so wouldn’t get here before Christmas, a limp bizkit metal sign and a glass made from a drinks bottle (hence the light idea, he’s a part time bartender and has quite a bottle collection).

smellies are a bit impersonal so would mostly avoid.
hes just given up alcohol.
he likes climbing and sea fishing
loves his food
metal music
designer taste in clothes

any ideas? I want it to be special, Id like a few things for him to open and not just stuff/tat that he’ll end up tossing.

Can you post the links for the things he asked for- someone might be able to suggest something similar?

We do this and in the past I've bought a bio ethanol table top heater, a terrarium, nice bottle of port or whisky, board game, T-shirts, coffee subscription, glass blowing experience, meal vouchers to a nice restaurant, Lego sets, hig tickets/theatre vouchers.....any use?

I always think that £50 should get a special gift you wouldn't buy yourself. not bits.

Gig Tickets...sorry

Lots of glasses made from bottles on Etsy.

It’s a shame you’re too late to order something from here:

But you could get a gift voucher from here:

Alternatively perhaps spend part of it on a New York Times or similar subscription?

I agree with PP, something decent, but £50 is tricky, not enough for a pair of jeans (or just enough but just that feels a bit mean) or gig tickets - but I’ll look what’s in smaller venues, he does often go to Liverpool or Manchester to see bands.
