Sentimental 40th birthday present ideas
I'm looking for ideas for a 40th birthday present. It would be nice if it's a keep sake and not toy / gadget. Budget around £100.
Some things about him:
He loves cars
He owns a Sierra Cosworth Sapphire but it has not run for years and is in storage
He loves the idea of track days and driving fast but has never been on one
He is sentimental and a bit of a collector (so a hoarder!)
He likes things retro. Films, games consoles, culture
He likes hip hop, especially older stuff.
Married with a daughter
He is a paramedic and works really hard for his family. He busts a gut working extra hours, sorting out his house and looking after his mum.
I may have to steer you more if that doesn't help!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Exactly correct. My Photoshop skills are significantly better than my painting skills!

Sometimes several smaller gifts can be better than 1 big one Oli (Furore Products) does some "giant nut" drink/pen holders
Linky
He also does a v8 engine card holder, but don't think he's advertising those at present - edited to correct! here's the link for the
card holder Link
Something someone got me for my 60th I really appreciated was a "blue plaque" which you stick on the wall (I have mine on the garage) like
the blue plaques on notable people's houses, but in Perspex - you get whatever you want printed on it, so it can be humorous, serious or
whatever, I really loved mine & still get pleasure from seeing it every day as I go out to the garage!

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

For two of my friends 50th, I bought the full set of coins from the year of birth mounted in a frame with a small plaque stamped with name and dob.
Didn't cost a bob (see what I did there?) and both of them commented that it is the one gift they treasure.
It doesn't need to be expensive. If you want to be flash add a few notes.

Thanks for the ideas all, plenty to go on.
Irony, your canvas look good, and look different to your usual photo onto canvas services.
I am unsure which route we will go as it's not all on me.

This is the original thread I posted about my Etsy shop. Unfortunately I don't think its as profitable as it could be. Postage, packing and
communications literally gobbles time up.Link
