easy. I always buy my father fireworks. It makes him feel like a kid, and he's thankful I didn't get him something useless that will sit in the house for the next 10 years. The last batch was a bunch of air-bombs/rocket things that he decided to strap to my GI Joe. I found his crispy and partly melted leg while mowing the lawn the next summer.

Failing this (for reasons I cannot foresee as fireworks are fool-proof) I would go for a tie, or something else 20 times more lame than fireworks.

I was going to say some sort of alcoholic beverage, but this sounds way better:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I don't know, he spends most of his time working (at a builder's merchants) then kicking back at home in the evenings. He started to ride a bike to work a few weeks back, maybe I could get him something related that? Any suggestions?

Yeah he tried fireworks once, bad idea. Went a bit wayward and nearly set the garden on fire, next door with their bonfire were diving for cover in their house

Yeah, but that's 3/4 the fun of fireworks. I'd say that sounds like a largely successful endeavor; it could have only been made better if the garden HAD caught on fire. I still fail to see the problem, but if you're opposed I'll make another suggestion, lol.

Get him a baseball card with a clothespin and some tassels for his bike. Again, he'll feel like a kid, and again, hilarity ensues.

No really though, get something for his bike.
