    Better here MC

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    A power bank is always handy, book or some movie collection (amazon black friday had some nice deals but that's water under the bridge).

    power bank, bluetooth headphones, 4g wifi router, clothes, usb hub, hdmi hub, Xbox one/ps4... oh wait this is my list :D

    Google Chromecast is relatively cheap (30e) and could be a good stocking filler if he's into computers/gadgets.

    Think DVD boxsets are a thing of the past now, maybe a Netflix subscription?

    If he's into fitness/running then a new pair of Nike Free Runs or something similar.

    Also another vote from me for a voucher for a proper haircut/hot towel shave.

    Probably not a typical present for a lad but I got a Yankee candle last year, I love them :cool:

    Ummm books, I dunno I'm reading the maze runner it's alright but the hunger games trilogy was way better and you can back that up with the dvds that are already out.

    Clothes wise anything a nice jumper or something, oh you know there is this thing that my bf would love don't know if it would be to ur bfs taste though but it's a belt made out of survival rope it's a fully functional belt but it can be unravelled if he needed it's called something like paracord survival belt it's trendy and different

    Miracle castle di sangro by Joe McGinniss is a book I'd recommend. Dirt cheap on Amazon.

    Just imagine a year in provence Italian style with Mafia involvement all based around a seria b football team. It won every award when released in 1999.

    Easons had it for a while but I think if you pay the slightly pricier shipping you'll have it delivered for Friday.

    Buy him a make your own craft beer kit. They are about 70€ (well the one I got was anyway), and you get between 40-50 bottles for that once its brewed.
