How many years is crystal? I don't think anything 'made' of crystal would be appropriate...do men like crystal things?!

Does he like booze?
A decanter can be fairly old fashioned but would be crystal.
What about some really nice brandy balloons?
Dartington Crystal do a yard of ale!

Erm ... I think the heart shape might be a bit much for my taste - but the present isn't for me ...
The other shapes available might be better.
Or, go for something completely different ... a night in a posh hotel or a hot air balloon trip or something.
