Ideas for a present

bajapm

Its my friends 21st next month and I want to get him a present James Bond themed. I've been looking for ideas on the net and I've found a few things but there way out of price range. My price range is €50, not much but we both agreed thats what it would be.
He is a big fan of wine if that helps

Hope you James Bond fans can help me out with this

Sir Miles

Does your friend have a favourite Bond movie ? Or is he a fan of the books ? Does he like posters ? Toys/games ?

Any extra info would help...

Sir Miles
Tomorrow never dies would be hes favorite film. Books doesnt like them at all. About the posters and toys/games hes ok with them

Would get him the 007 fragrance but another friend bet me too it
The stuff on jamesbondlifestyle.com looks absolutely perfect for him but most of the stuff is way too expensive

You could always get some smirnoff or a special case of heineken.
or some Jack Daniel's -{ They all have Bond Connections )

Sir Miles

You could always get him the poster from the film....or the new CD that has been released along with other stuff...like a film cell presentation for example...and/or film tickets for Skyfall at an IMAX theatre...

Peppermill

Well presuming that with books you mean the Bond novels I'm going to start with a coffee table book that might fit the bill. If he likes the posters maybe the new book 'James Bond: 50 Years of Movie Posters' might be a good present. It is around €50,-. I have the one published 10 years ago and it is a real conversation starter.

Or maybe you can buy the Douglas Pell moneyclip with another friend and split the costs 50/50. It is a really nice item and doesn't scream !!BOND!! so it might be more useful to your friend in daily life. (I bought it a few years ago using the discount code that is somewhere on this site. I'm not sure it still works but its worth a try).

Does it have to be screen accurate? Because in your original post you say "I want to get him a present James Bond themed". If you are looking for a "Bond inspired" gift you could think of something Bond would use everyday. Does your friend smoke? If so you could give him a nice engraved Leiter.... errrr...... I mean Lighter of course. Or maybe a cigarette case. Is he into sports/action? Find him something like that. Take him bungee jumping (It's €70,- in Amsterdam. I don't know where you are from but seeing that you pay in euro's at least we are on the same continent so prices should be around the same. ). You'll probably find someone to pay the extra 20 just to see your friends face when he jumps

Safari shirt or towaling makini as now he is 21 he is a man and only real men can wear these )

Mr Martini

Since he's going to be 21, get him the things needed to make a martini. Cocktail Shaker (engraved with the 007 logo would be a nice touch), Gin, Vodka, Vermouth and a Martini glass.

That's what I would get..a really nice cocktail shaker and the ingredients for a martini....the drink will go, but the shaker will stay. -{
