[Help] What do you buy your middle aged mates for their birthday

[Triggaaar]

Cheap and easy though.

Just email the Pompey fan who cosplays as a souvenir pawn shop and ask him where the best junkyard is.

There's one at Fratton Park, and another at Selhurst Park. I don't want to go to either. All their shit is overpriced anyway.

 

[METALMICKY]

Always.




I expect so.




Being that I'm completely shit (I'm a bloke FFS), time is of the essence (see what I did there) so I need to go get something now.

OK off the bat if you're in a panic here's 3 suggestions. Classic all rounders, any time of year, casual or formal setting and wont ' shout ' like a young blokes fragrance.

Vinyl. Or a bottle of Taylor's 2018 Late Bottled Vintage Port. As recommended on Sunday Brunch last week then, lo and behold, a Christmas Miracle - friend gave me a bottle this week. Might still be on offer too. Apparently no decanting required!

 

[Zeberdi]

He's a Pompey fan

Mascot Slippers?

 

[Chicken Run]

Since a lot of you are middle-aged, what would you get your friend

Thanks x

So basically the same suggestion as Questions:

I bought one of my best friends a 3 for a hundred and payed for an hour in a good class brothel….
All came to £280 but like I say he is a good friend.

 

[PTC Gull]

Apparently these are useful !

Ok that’s what he asked for.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Apart from football, does he have any other hobbies? A blue & white chess set?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Albion calendar

Still think its silly to let pride stand in the way of giving a football gift.

They fought for promotion for how long? Six years?

The least you can do is to print and frame a photo of the current Championship league table.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Do blokes even buy each other presents?!

 

[Professor Plum]

Do blokes even buy each other presents?!

Apparently so. I never knew. I’m guessing this is why all my friends have deserted me.

 

[portslade seagull]

Just take him out for a curry and beer as most middle aged men normally have everything they want

When I think of Sauvage, I think of Johnny Depp digging a hole in the middle of nowhere, presumably to bury someone.

Tried the Acqua Di, liked it, bought it.

Thanks.

Buying him a perfume very risky UNLESS you are sure you know the one he likes (maybe ask his better half?).

Otherwise a crate of beers works - again get him ones he likes, not a 'gift selection'/ Advantage of this is that your gift can involve 6 bottles, 12 or 24 or whatever, to suit your budget/how much you like him/how much he spent on you!

And maybe a nice new pint glass to drink them out of as a small addition.
