Chaps/Chapettes,
Soon my stepfather will turn 60. He already has all the watches, wine and cars any man could ever want. I really have no idea where to start, and I don't have the funds to get something 'big'.
I know he likes 'thoughtful' presents - for his 50th some people got him a bottle of 1952 Lafite de Rothschild and that went down really well.
And so I turn to the collective wisdom of PH - any ideas warmly appreciated.

How much though, as 'big' to some is 'small' to others.
That clock that tells the time with words always goes down well on here. I'm sure someone. Will provide a link soon.

I have a similar dilemma with my parents every year. I've found that these days they like to accumulate memories rather than 'stuff'.
Get him tickets to something, or take him out for dinner / theatre / whatever he might like.

Better play it safe and get him a sturdy British slapper.
