Traditional British Ideas for Adult Male Stocking

My dd is really into Christmas, and loves the family traditions and despite being in her 30s loves her Christmas morning stocking.

She is coming home for Christmas with her Canadian fiance.

He loves everything British - he spent his childhood in England and looks back fondly on it, and he has Scottish ancestry.

I want to give him a stocking that will make him smile.

i normally put in 10 items and they’re along the lines of - food, drink, book, gadget, toy, socks, pants, top and then two others

I do this for all the kids (well grown up offspring)

Any ideas for any of the categories that are quintessentially British - or one of the Home Nations.

Would love to hear from those over the pond of what they think of and would like to see, as well as anyone else’s opinion.

@ChristmasStockingIdeas It is pretty simple. I'm a teacher and I've made loads of it with form groups after school for the School Christmas Fete, etc.

I also once lost an argument with a colleague who teaches Physics who insisted that 'you can't get rid of mass' and was not impressed by me saying, 'but if you boil it - it dissolves'. He pointed out to me that if I'd poured a 2lb bag of sugar into that tablet then I'd eaten that 2lb bag of sugar...
