gift ideas for boss's 50th birthday please..........

[Northerner]

We're racking our brains in the office and keep drawing blanks.

He's coming up 50 and loves food, wine and football. Not into gadgets etc.

He's already got a nice breifcase and mont blanc pen.

Any ideas gratefully received. Budget £80.

TIA

Is he an old or a young 50? You can get some really nice mounted clocks with a little bit on them where they can be engraved - or is that too naff?? lol

ermm nice food hamper?
lovely designer cufflinks or tie pin?
Tickets for a footy match in v nice seats?
case of wine?
wine tasting course?

Mind is drawing a blank
nice photos of everyone in the office wearing party type stuff with personalised message underneath in a v nice photo album (only if he is v popular!)

I give up.

there are some 40 yr old bottles of port on here for £80. any good? someone bought me one once, it was like nectar..

This website is great, vintage wine

What about signed:

football shirt in a frame,
ball or
team photo.

Season ticket for team, no idea of cost sorry.

If you look at his football team's webpage you can get some really good gifts from most premiership teams clubs

I'd go with a case of wine. You should be able to get some lovely stuff with £80.

Thanks for these guys.
