I got thermal socks too - they are ace!!
I got my bf some thermal base layer stuff - trousers and a top from millets. THey're not expensive but he thinks they're great particularly the trousers if you're riding round in jeans

Don't people just buy decent boots?

6am, winter, ice everywhere (snow in some cases), and my feet have always been fine? And this is at speeds up to 100 leptons per hour, so wind chill is very very into the minus figures?

Not a hero or nowt, just i get cold feet, but I never have had a problem with my feet.

Ta for all the suggestions folks, in the end I went for:

A Nelson Rigg expandable tank bag (I really like the build quality of Nelson Rigg luggage) which I will fill with the following:
A variety of earplugs (so he can find which ones suit him best),
Bungee net,
Neck warmer,
Disc lock (including reminder bit of elastic),
Puncture Repair Kit,
Visor Wipe,
Police Rider's Handbook.

I'm not sure what Law likes.

Oh sorry, I thought you said birthday present for a smallish biker.

My bad.

LOL

The torque wrench from the Ride subscription I got him for xmas has arrived here for some odd reason, so that will go in the bag too. Quite a little collection he's going to have.
