    Well I went out to get a present, but as usual ended up buying something for myself instead.


    But I did get a nice pack of socks and a new cap...

    A weekend break in Reykjavik

    A bumper book of Soduku

    An I-tunes voucher

    A fake burberry cap

    It really depends what he's like.

    The Talisker 8 year old would show how much you care. Old Fettercairn and Highland Park do some nice old ones too.

    The Talisker 8 year old would show how much you care or the Ben Wyvis if you are feeling flush. Old Fettercairn and Highland Park do some nice old ones too.

    How much money do we have to play with?
    Sorry, naturally, you are all that too.


    Cheap and cheerful is probably better, unless it's a really good idea!

    What kind of things does he like?

    Books, magazines, music.

    Does he prefer experiences to 'things'?
