60th birthday present ideas please

Attending a party for the husband of a distant friend. We know little about him. Can anyone think of a gift that most guys would like. He is a mans man. Around ?40-50.

Silver cuff links? Coffee table type book on a fav or general topic. M'm not even great suggestions, blokes are a bloody nightmare!

[yeknomyeknom]

Thanks for the idea. Blokes are hard to buy for. He doesn't strike me as the reading/table book type of guy. Nor a shirt wearer. Very tricky.

We need more clues ! What does he do as a job ? Leisure ? I know it's a cliche but luxury socks ? Cashmere ?

[catgirl]

some nice wine? Or a wine / food gift box thingy?

A plant / /tree for the garden?

[Mustard]

Single malt whiskey/whisky?

[EmilyPie]

I'd say whisky(whiskey) too. My husband is keen on a bottle of Springbank 10.

I honestly don't know anything about him other than he likes golf and everyone is getting him golf stuff. He doesn't work. Maybe whiskey. Thanks guys!

How about a lesson in something that might interest him? Food related - pasta making, bread making ... wine tasting? A tour of a sports venue like Wembley or Lord's Cricket Ground? A pamper session - such as an Indian Head Massage? Or finally a subscription to a favourite magazine - golf or music?
