Haven't really seen him much last year, but not sure what to get. Sub 50 quid, like drinking and working out, was thinking bottle of ciroc?

If he's got any interest at all in science/engineering, what about something from the minimuseum? Plenty to choose from, with added bonus that due to his age he'll be able to see the artefact without any real problem!

https://minimuseum.com

Fragments of a very wide range of items mounted in display cases, ie

Apollo 13 foil
SR-71 turbine blade
Egyptian mummy bead
Megladon tooth
4.7 billion year old space artefact
Cray supercomputer chip
Steve Jobs turtleneck
Medieval chainmail

etc etc etc

For a 21st. I would buy him something more memorable than a bottle of vodka. If its to be drink related how about a pewter tankard or other drinking vessel

I got two engraved hip flasks for my 21st.

Have never used either of them but I still have them and apart from a special "night to remember" from the first Mrs Dave they are the only two presents I can remember getting or where they came from.

Everything else must have been drunk or eaten or thrown out and long forgotten.

I can’t believe how far PH has gone downhill!

Back in the day someone would have suggested ‘coke and hookers’ in at least the first 2 posts!

I got a tanker for my 18th, honestly it's never left the box and it's in the loft somewhere now. I would just go with the bottle of Vodka if that's what he drinks, he will enjoy it more

yes he like's getting pissed, like most 21 years old do. I just don't want to get something that end up in the loft, so will go with a Bottle of the Au Vodka, gold bottle and all.

OP is a tight arse with only £50 to spend. Half a gram and a suck isn't much of a 21st to remember.

A framed photo of yourself so he'll feel obliged to display it every time you visit.

A bottle of port from the year of his birth. I have one from 1949 (not a vintage year but hey-ho), it's one of my most treasured possessions - still unopened in its box too.
