westleya Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Our Network Manager is retiring at the end of this school year and we're stumped for as to what to buy him... Assuming I've got about £60 - £80, and he likes: France, Travelling, anything techky, France. Any ideas ? I've gotta go shopping tonight Help !

jamesb Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Case of good French wine? Or a selection of fine cheeses, with some good port? 1
jsnetman Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Our tech retired last year, he also liked travelling so we bought him a TomTom with European maps. 1
westleya Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Our tech retired last year, he also liked travelling so we bought him a TomTom with European maps. I thought about this, but he's already got a really good Garmin GPS.
Midget Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 a load of wine with a stopper that tells you the temperature of the wine? (I've seen them - a friend had one - but I've no idea where to buy them.)
OutToLunch Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Victorinox Cybertool? Best little pocket tech gadget I've ever had, assuming he will keep his hand in with IT at home they're priceless. Also has the usual assortment of bottle openers, corkscrews and the like.
bossman Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 @westleya: Nice French maid for the evening (only one evening mind) ;) OOh la! la!
BatchFile Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Lakeland Segway - for Segway sales and tours in the Lake District. Got this (the tour) for my parent's birthdays this year:) they're impossible to buy for as they've got everything they need and this was just a bit different... Edited July 13, 2009 by BatchFile

Sylv3r Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Bit of french and a .... for dummies book. Best of both worlds.
mossj Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) a one-way ferry ticket to france? I'd stay away from the wine it's quickly forgotten, go for something personilised it will last alot longer. Engraved Multi tool, maybe? Everyone i've seen with the real thing, seem to sware by them and there useful about the home, as well as in IT. Personilised Keyboard maybe?, could be interesting if you know anyone good at airbrushing/have enough to pay someone. Find a temp-tattoo artist in the street there fairly good at it, and i expect if you pay them enough they'll airbrush a keyboard with the design you want for you. Edited July 13, 2009 by mossj
jamesb Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Nice French maid for the evening (only one evening mind) Where can you buy these?
Dom_ Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 How about a Play.com (UK) : No, I Will Not Fix Your Computer (Black - T-Shirt) : Clothing - Free Delivery ... Since he's retiring :-)
