For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.an iPod will make many women happy too! I am, my bloke though actually prefers an iRiver. Shame i just sold an iPod for 150 yesterday on ebay. Anyway you might want to try http://www.firebox.com/ they have some great stuff.
Perhaps customised cufflinks or engraved pen would suit - you could get them engraved or monogrammed as you wish - �100 should get you some decent ones. Plenty of places on the WWW to order from.
Might manage a framed autograph of a favourite star or sportsperson (not too famous for �100) try EBay for the photo and anywhere for a simple frame.

Hi Natty,
If the present isn't going to be a total surprise to him, why not book a photographic portrait with a reputable studio? You could just have his photo, or one of both you would be lovely.
Or, for a bit of adventure, why not a day at Silverstone or somewhere similar, or a Hot-air Balloon flight. if you google 'Red letter Days' you should get loads of ideas. Hope you find what you want.
Ask him, or get his best mate to ask him?
I personally love planning surprise parties - they can cherish the memories and the photographs forever.
You could write him a poem, get him some jewelrry, buy him something practical for garden/computer that he has always wanted but never been able to justify buying because of cost and usability....anything!
Asking is the best thing though - then you are sure to get it right :) Good luck! He is sure to be happy anyway, for having such a caring lovely woman to call his own who wants so much to make him happy.
