Local gifts for boys with guitars - help

[RosieH]

So I'm fundamentally quite lazy, need to buy a present for a friend's birthday and can't face going into town. Any genius ideas for a brilliant present I can buy locally for a 35 year old boy in a guitar band? he likes food, booze and the clash, although not necessarly in that order...

all help massively, enormously and gratefully received

You simply can't go wrong with chili related products.

Good quality whisky or brandy or rum or tequila (like really good)

'Spaced' boxed set.

Good quality Wok/frying pan.

A big hug.

thank you sir, you are a gent

If you can be bothered going as far as Catford, there's a really good guitar shop called Eric Lyndsay. How about a nice new guitar strap and a set of spare strings... Ernie Ball regular slinky would be my choice ;-)

Too late? I was gonna suggest a subscription to Q or whatever music mag he likes. That way you can do it over the net & don't even have to leave the house!

the music shop by the station has quite a good selection of guitar music books. Probably got a book of the Clash's songs.

I think it's moved to Northcross Road now - they have a table outside with maraccas and be-staved tea towels

thanks for the ideas. am lazy and went for booze (cachaca from Nicolas in case you care) - but these help enormously for the next birthday / Christmas
