Early fifties, nicest bloke in the world, is an accountant, likes trains, family man. Not really a drinker.

Would like to get him a gadget or toy to play with - budget up to about £25, ideally sourced from Amazon.

Any thoughts? (It's getting a bit close!)

He sounds far too good to be true, I suggest something from Ann Summers might be more appropriate and tell him you know his secret when you hand it over..... wink

Morgan factory tour? £ 20 gets him a look around the factory and see how the cars are made from start to finish, They even throw in a cuppa

That’s a really nice idea, but unfortunately too far away. Just know it would never actually happen.

That's a good shout. I had one bought for me for Xmas and it's a superb bit of kit.

If he goes out at all in the winter (walking, dogs, sport etc) then they are great
