Kimbo... how about trying the Blackburn football club shop if there is one? Maybe a new shirt/mug/polo shirt from there..? Or if he plays football or sports you could get him some football boots/new trainers..? Or you could get him a HMV voucher if he likes films and music and you don't know what he already has or wants? I always tend to avoid giving straight money... I don't know why, maybe I like the present challenge!
I know what I got my dad once - he is mad on Portsmouth. I found him an aerial photo on ebay of the Portsmouth ground (there are ppl on there that specialise in football ground aerial photos) there may be a Blackburn one on there, or one of the sellers may be able to get hold of one? Then you could put it in a nice frame for his bedroom.
Or... also on ebay, make your own CD clock, or get one already made. You can supply any picture, so you could get him a clock with him and his mates on, or the blackburn logo, or Harry Potter/Rocky... any picture you can find. Or if you are making it yourself (I did one, it's not too difficult) you could give him one with one of those on, and then make extra CD's for it so it's interchangeable..? I made my dad one with the portsmouth logo on. If you need help with where to find 'make your own CD clock' pieces let me know and I'll get you some links.
Sorry to go on, I love thinking of original present ideas..! I am the ultimate present buyer, people are always asking me how I manage to find such original ideas, and they never cost too much either
