Rosiem Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi..grandson is starting army training in few weeks around his 18th nirthday and he's away for about 12 weeks. We'd love to buy him a gift that would be useful and/or keepsake. Any ideas would be good. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) half-sovereign from the year he was born (or from this year). Can be kept, or if he ever urgently needs to do so readily converted into cash. quarter sovereigns available for recent years too Edited March 26, 2016 by I1L2T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may start complaining about army issued boots, (my son and others did) only a few months into their training. Put a few bob to one side in case you get the call.

scousemouse Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 How about a 'best' watch? Cheap one for the army,nothing much lost if it gets damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The N is next to the B, and if Risiem`s fingers are the same size as mine it can be difficult sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perplexed Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Plant an oak tree with the Woodland Trust? Costs about £15, can be dedicated with a certificate... Given the lifespan of an oak, it's quite a keepsake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
