I have a couple of men that I need to buy for, in their 40s. I don't know them very well (I'm friends with their wives) but will be spending time with them as families over Christmas so need to buy something. Just a small present to unwrap in the £10-20 price range, different to chocolate or booze. Any ideas? Both are very blokey-blokes, into fitness, cinema, silliness.

Cinema vouchers, workout socks, dad joke books.

If not childcare or booze, I'd still try to think of something consumable - people generally don't want stuff clogging up their hiatuses that other people chose cor them. Nice coffee, cheese, gourmet nuts / dried fruit?

Unless they play golf or tennis, in which case there is no such thing as too many golf or tennis balls.

Chocolate, not childcare!

I can see I have been beaten to the wallet ninja and water bottles which were my first thought on reading your opening post

If you have Prime the Bob Mortimer books were both on for around £10

Molton brown black pepper body wash always a good bet. What about a little Lego set each?! A branded t shirt, lots of choice in eg Tk maxx.
