Secret Santa help! - £20

Looking for some inspiration!

I drew my BIL for our big family secret santa and have no idea what to get him, nor does husband. He is early 30s and is not easy to buy for. Despite as long as I've known him this is all I really know:

Doesn't drink
Not into fashion/brands
Plays PlayStation / xbox
Watches football

There is a wish list on the website we've used but he hasn't filled in it and said to husband when they were discussing the wishlist he would be happy with £20 in a card (assume joke but possibly not) but I won't be doing that. Everyone else has done their wishlist so should get something they'd like.

Boring but socks, smellies & sweets?
Part of me thinks he should be grateful for anything if he won't take 2 minutes to do the wishlist!

Would you be adverse to getting him vouchers?

I am kinda in your brother in laws position as I genuinely need or want nothing. But when filling out my wishlist for family secret Santa I always write Amazon voucher. Usually the buyer gets me a bottle of cheap wine then a card with the voucher inside. I think people feel better handing over an actual gift even if it is only a £5 bottle of wine.

Playstation or Xbox gift card? I'd rather have that than socks, smellies or sweets.

Voucher is a good idea! To be honest I'd not even thought of one! PlayStation one is a good shout, he can maybe put it towards a game!

What about those TV games consoles with all the retro games on them? Can range from £15-30 on Tiktok shop
