For a male. Friendly mostly non-sexual relationship- so no love hearts necessary.
Budget: under £50, about £20-25 is best (for me anyway!)
Age: er, think he'll be 28
Likes: really geeky stuff. science stuff. boy's toys.
Dislkies: fashion stuff. car things. has no tv and his DVD player's broken
Drinks: Weird beer type stuff, wine, spirits
Already has: a remote control helicopter, Dilbert DVD collection, Dilbert car toy things... Mini-blow torch. stupid usb cup warmer thing etc

Anyone got any suggestions? Things I could buy in 'real' shops would be most usefull as his b'day is... tomorrow (but I won't see him for a couple of days anyway so it's ok)

    anything really, just go out and buy something for him. Why not go to a toy shop and buy him a toy car?

    Bop It! Extreme! 2! Voila!

    And an alcoholic type thing.

    And the pleasure of your company.

    ah ha ha, that looks like it would suddenly become an extreme and intense sport whilst drunk and overly competetive!

    Yea that's cool. Guys in my experience tend to be pleased with anything cool like that. Try to avoid getting him clothes unless he's metrosexual. Something that requires batteries is always a plus.

    In fact, I'm sure for christmas once I asked for some heavy-duty rechargable batteries, and a toolkit. Heh, boys :p

    lol. clothes- he wouldn't know what to do with them. Last time he bought any new clothes was last year when I DRAGGED him kicking and screaming round the shops. I'm leaning towards getting him some magnet toys and a slab of fois gras- he likes his fois gras, just not that potted shite.
