My dad will be 53 on Friday - and I HAVE to get him a gift!! seriously running out of time! He does drink, but I find alcohol such an impersoanl gift!
He's quite a young 53 year old...but not fit either..
He is into his bikes/trikes, and loves gadgets and stuff, and drawing & art projects - he's very young at heart
I want to spend under £30 if possible
thanks!!

I just used this answer on another question, but just in case you didn't read it I've posted it again.
My grandmother turned 88 a few months ago and I was going through the same thing. I debated over this for a few days and finally came up with this. I searched through all my photos, called my mom and aunts and begged for their special pictures. Once I gathered all the pictures, I scanned them onto the computer and used window movie maker to come up with a dvd for her. I added music and captions. Between my mom and aunts I was able to come up with pic from my grandmother's childhood, to her latest great grand child. I started with the oldest ones first then advanced to the children, grand children then the great grandchildren.
We were having a birthday party for her at her church and I arranged for tv and dvd player at her party I played her movie. We all had mixed emotions, there were tears for the family members who had passed away, laughs for the doo whoop pictures of years passed, but all in all everyone loved it. Granmme loved it she thanked me numerous times, and said that was the most wonderful gift she could have received. My family has told me that whenever someone comes over granmme makes them watch her movie before they leave. But fair warning if you decide to do this have extra copies, because everyone will want one.

So, my best friend's birthday is coming up and I want to get her something personal. For my birthday she and our other best friend got me a personalized key chain. For our other best friend's birthday we got her a personalized frame. We have no idea what to get our friend. She doesn't wear jewelry and we don't want to get her a frame or key chain. But we want to get her something personal. Any help you have will be greatly appreciated!!! Also, please keep it under $30. Thanks!!! :)

Since you have been friends for so long, a scrapbook of your friendship may be a good idea. I'm sure you have lots of great stories being friends for so long or possibly some interesting pictures?...but don't forget the journaling, your recorded memories is what will make this a very special gift.
OR
If you didn't want to do a whole scrapbook, you could just do on page layout and frame it.
