What to buy the man who has almost everything?

[KenBlocksPants]

Boss at work is retiring, not short of a bob or two and is a keen spender, which means he has all sorts of gadgets and the like. He's roughly 60.

Budget from the whip round is £120.. anyone got any ideas?

Almost anything considered!

Hour with a brass?

A good hooker for fifteen minutes?

How many people are in your office? You could get a photographer in and take a group pic?

Why am I not suprised with the response so far

I should add he is happily married and quite conservative...

[Ikemi]

A nice pen of some sort?

Interesting but difficult, we all work from home so getting us together before the leaving do will be tough.

Thanks though

Your username would be a good gift- maybe you could get them signed?

Then it's the ideal gift.

Always the quiet ones, and even if he's not into it it will be something out of the ordinary!

Why do I have the feeling i might have made a mistake asking

Pen is good, will look into that thanks.

Does he drink? What about a decent whiskey or bottle of wine?

Is he into coffee? If so, I imagine he's already got a machine from your description, but does it/he have a bean grinder? If he likes gadgets he'll love it and they're not lots to buy- £20-40. If he has a machine but not a stove-top that could be a good shout as they produce very good stuff even compared to the best machines, and a nice Bialetti one can be had from Selfridges for about £20. Both of these could be had in addition to a nice pen- depends whether you want one big present or several smaller ones really.

Get everybody to send in a photo and make up a collage and put it in a nice frame.

Thanks chaps, some great ideas there.

Not really into coffee, will check on the whiskey though, nice idea.

Very into red wine if that helps?
