Long service award is anything up to a value of £500 max and I haven't got a clue what to buy? I have all the tools I want. Bought a new lid and jacket last year. Errr....
Any ides?

Drugs and hookers!
I'd buy an Arai Quantic or a Tour-X5, but you mention you've already bought a lid.

Its just gonna end up in the loft anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Put it towards a bigger loft?
Or installation of a lift?

Convert the loft into a wine cellar.

If it has to be an actual asset then maybe a nice Mont Blanc pen?
Yeah, or MB wallet/credit card holder, notebook holder etc. Their leather stuff is quite nice.

Do they give you the money or do you have to choose a physical asset and they pay?
If you get the cash then I’d pay for as many of my family to attend a big Sunday dinner at a local pub. We do it a couple of times a year, about fifteen of us all go for a basic pub dinner and it’s cracking, we pick up the tab.

Something physical or it gets taxed apparently. TBH I take the family out and on holiday anyway, so that wouldn't really work. Hmmm, holiday... wonder if could get a tui voucher or such like. Could bag a weeked in seville or soemthing then?

Not me at all tbh. It'd get put in the drawer of plenty never to be seen again...

A tattoo of a cock and balls on your arse and back, each of your buttocks is tattooed as a hairy bollock and then the erect cock is tattooed up your spine.

Spend it on learning something new. You will have a gift that will keep on giving and you can share it too.
Material stuff.....whatever
