It’s my birthday coming up (Middle aged man) – I’ve been asked to offer up some suggestions under £40 and I’m failing miserably.

So far all I’ve got on my list is some socks, a t-shirt, a shock pump and some vouchers…

What would you put on a list?

Forty quid will net you a nice malt.

C&H

C&H? Or is that a typo and should be B&H?

suggestions under £40

C or H. Probably not both. 😀

C or H ???!!

LEGO.

LEGO.

That was my first thought too, but probably want to up the budget.

A tyre

Edit – what Binners said

Loads and loads of Haribo and a crate of Stella

you got all the tools you need in the garage? sockets, good drill bits for the usual rawlplug sizes?

Uplift day at BPW?

An electric toothbrush.

Is it called Gerard?

No

Morvelo Socks
Single Malt
Uplift Ticket somewhere

Coffee or magazine subscription

4000 Black Jacks?

You’ve have up the budget a smidge – but Pies by Post?

A meal out.

concert ticket

Cheers. The pie set looks awesome!

I’ve added on a cooking course and a backgammon set – how seriously middle aged!

The pie set looks awesome!

They do a pie subscription if someone who loves you enough to buy it for you.

Power kite?

Power kite? Is that like a microlight?

Bottle of gin
Bottle of malt
bottle of Bourbon
some ‘craft’ beer

Not all of the above obvs. I like alcohol 🙂

Merino t-shirt from finisterre, sweatshirt from howies (slightly more than £40 this week though)

C&H

What, both types of tap?

Good bottle of Port.
Nice socks.
An extra £20 will get you a nice Seiko SNK807 on Amazon too.

Silky saw for trailside trimming or a bush hook for brambles/ferns?

Or a remington fuzz-away for ear and nostril hair

Cheese. You should be able to get some lovely biscuits with that sort of money as well.

You could have a chair prepared for you. There might be change for a small beer.

How much DOES it cost to hire a podium girl to congratulate you on your birthday?

How about a couple of these bad boys. Very shiny and only £2.82 over budget, including free delivery.

A good book.

Some great ideas there…

Mmmmm Silky… What size would you go for to carry in backpack? One of these
