Turn up naked, bring beer?

Palmersport day would make his day, literally.

Get one of those fake cheque book style things which promises all sorts of treats from you (a book of promisory notes, if you will). biggrin

I've been hinting for one of those from Mrs Pints for years.

Trial plane flight (and or go in a acrobatic plane)

Quad bike riding/shooting/things from the 'Experience Days' catalogue?

Tickets to Goodwood Revival in early September? Made me very very grateful, although it is slightly closer to my birthday.

I found that these cheques are not transferable, to my dismay.

Yes, I did once. More of a P&P topic though. Best told after a few beers.

It really does depend on what he likes, doesn't it.

What are his hobbies? Can you get something to do with one of them?

Cars: track driving experience.
Games: Latest whizz-bang thing.
Books: Check out his bookshelf - find the next book by one of the authors.

etc

Tell him you have organised a special night with you and some of your girl friends for his Birthday night.

Then hand him a copy of Razzle and a bottle of Baby Oil as you head out the door for your night out on his birthday.


Sure fire winner every time.

I checked out that Palmer day thing but unfortunately he will be out of the country at that point!
I would love to just get naked and bring beer but unfortunately that sounds like a normal saturday night and this is kind of a special birthday so :P

The experience day stuff sounds cool but I had him drive some cars on a track last year and am thinking of that as a last way out.
As for what I can only describe as a very strange suggestion, I think he is having friends over for his birthday and I would not like to leave them like that... might get awkward...

Thanks for the help guys, any more ideas?

www.rentracer.de and a 8 lap pass for the ring should do it. It did for me on my 40th.

hahah.


But how much do you want to spend.. that may well limit it.

/but naked fun with a friend is the cheap option.

The gifts that I have received that mean the most to me have been things that I use often and are always around - "gifts that keep on giving" if you like.

It may seem a bit boring but a quality wallet, pen, cufflinks or watch would be my choice - you can tailor to your budget.

reference books are another decent idea (again something that he will keep going back to) - at the moment I have a real hankering for the Stirling Moss scrap book collection.
