Ideas for Secret Santa for a dad...?

Our NCT group are doing Secret Santa for the babies and for one another. One of the 'mums' is a dad! (you know what I mean - Primary Caregiver, to be poncy) I drew him out of the hat. We agreed a £5 budget for mums, just something silly or fun, so what on earth do I get him that isn't a couple of bottles of beer (to be fair, I know he likes real ale a lot)? DH is bad enough to buy for, but this guy is someone else's DH!

I think if I knew he liked real ale I'd go and find a couple of bottles!

Or maybe a copy of the Good Beer Guide? I have no idea how much it is these days.

A nice pint mug?

Sainsburys have potatoe guns - they are so cool and retro - I bought DH one, as he really wanted one.

Marks and Spencers do some nice little gifts for men, that are quite unusual.

Potato gun sounds great!

Dangerous book for boys to a book for dads, cant remeber the title though!

He's probably appreciate the real ale after a hard day being a 'mum'.

Dangerous Boy's book or the scout cook book or something like this!

Am thinking something that might give him ideas with stuff to do with his child.

Potato gun?! Brilliant! I like the idea of a special beer mug, too. I'd get him beer - I even know what sorts he likes, as we all go out to local pubs together, but he lives next door to his local...
Excellent, I'll get cracking. I knew I could count on some good suggestions here!

So what did you get him, was it the beer or a potato gun?
