Help - Pilot's Christmas present?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.....I have hijacked my husbands PPRUNE account to ask for ideas for Xmas. Just come back from another shopping trips and don't have anything decent for him. Suggestions please...getting desperate now. Have also hijacked his bank account.....not difficult as he has the same username & password for virtually all his online accounts ;-)

I can't help you with suggestions for pilot Christmas gifts, but I can help you with gift paper! I've been using outdated Jeppesen Enroute Charts for years, and the ''paperless cockpit concept'' is my worst enemy now¨

If he spends a lot of time down route in hotels.....the more costly of the two is allegedly the best sleep mask in the UK. Expensive but depends what price you put on a good nights sleep).

I have an excellent idea but unfortunately I cannot post it here as your loved one will read his hacked account and therefore it won't be a surprise.

Sorry!

I've had second thoughts. If you could PM me with his bank accounts username and password I can order the gift on Amazon for you.

Opportunities to help somebody only come once in a while!

Go to the maritime shop at Greenwich and get him a cap with Captain stitched on it and get one for yourself with "Crew" on it.

Victoria's Secrets hold a large suitable selection, to be suitably filled at a suitable time.

One can never have too many watches. Or a gift voucher for the coolest sunglasses ever. Or a Jesus-Mohammed-Buddha statue for the dashboard, holding hands.

He'll need to wake up at peculiar times in strange rooms around the world; get him an alarm which does the Muslim call to prayer, very loudly, to remind him of what he's missing at home.

That only works, though, if what he's missing is peace and quiet and the loving embrace of his nearest and dearest, quietly whispering his list of tasks for the day.

My wife is a lady of leisure......when I get home from a long trip she has a great selection of cheeses, a quality wine and then we get down to business (see also RATs suggestion). As a wedding gift we were given the best cheese board in the known universe (which I now buy as my easy out for most Xmas, bitrthday, housewarming gifts). https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4883..._home_active_1
