    Bf is 30 at the end of October & I haven't yet bought anything as a pressie - need help!

    He likes
    • Darts
    • Horse racing
    • Playstation
    • Internet
    • Boozing!
    • Football - Man U
    • Not a fitness freak
    • Hates spas (the health kind!)
    • Not too good on heights
    • Doesn't smoke
    • Not driving yet
    • Has travelled to NY, San Fran, Spain, Portugal, Prague, Algarve, Fuertaventura
    • Likes pubbing rather than clubbing
    • Wears good clothes but not really a 'clothes' person

    If I think of anything else I'll let you know! Budget fairly flexible but not off the wall huge!

    Any ideas of what to get?

    Cheers,
    S
    (PS using mates account in case your wondering why Tom has a boyfriend!):D

    Buy him a course of driving lessons since he's not driving yet, but only if you think he wants to get on the road.

    Might be better looking for advice in the Gifts & Festivity & Party Ideas forum to avoid being told to get him "your ma" as a present.

    I'm not good with heights either but did a skydive last summer and can't wait to do it again.

    Check out skydive.ie. They're the Irish Skydiving Club, located in Offaly.

    I'm in and around 30 :-) My wifey just got me a usb foam missile launcher... it's so cool... you can get them here and they're totally cool!:

    In general... you want to think of regression presents... like a remote control car... or a lego set or something... honestly... no male regardless of age, will be unhappy if you get him something remote controlled.

    Actually, you can get very inexpensive remote controlled helicopters and planes these days.

    Go for something fun is what I'd say!

    Sounds very like my boyfriend except for the driving and Man Utd bit. Has he got a dartboard? Or a PS3? You could send him to Cheltenham in November (that's what I'm doing ;)).

    What festival is in November - or is it just a regular race day? Don't know much about it but it sounds like a good idea - I'll definatley look into it

    I don't know that much about it tbh, the big festival is on every year in March, the one in November isn't as big, I think it's 3 days racing, I don't know what the standard is like, my boyfriend is just going on the saturday and sunday. There's a list of all the fixtures here on the Cheltenham Racecouse site http://www.cheltenham.co.uk/default.html

    He's been going to the March festival for the last few years, but went to the November festival last year and loved it. He went in January too, it's just one days trials, but if he's interested in racing he might be like that too.

    sometimes supporter clubs have spares that aren't taken by members, they're usually for the less popular games though. Some tour operators sell packages for Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal games, but they're quite expensive.
