A Present For Mr Prya

[haras2]

Mr Prya owns a very good Indian takeaway and cafe in West London near my son's house and whenever I visit it's a bit of a ritual to buy some of his excellent samousas, potato cakes etc.
My son is selling his house and moving away and so because of how things are I won't be able to say goodbye to an old friend, that is how we think of him although I don't know much about him apart from his being a cricket
fanatic and that he has a home in the mountains of Gujarat to where he plans to retire
I would like to send him a small goodbye momento of the last 20 years but finding it difficult to think of anything suitable
Any ideas?

a cricket souvenir? mug? An English souvenir?

A personalised print?

Flowers ? He could display them in his restaurant.

Thank you Mamyalynne
Plenty to browse there!

[haras2]

Flowers - a good idea, indeed

That's a lovely thought, Haras. I was going to suggest looking at cricket gifts from Lords. I've bought things for cricket fans. Mamya's idea is lovely.

How much do you want to spend?

[Vagus]

Sounds like a good title for a film...A Present for Mr Prya :)
What a nice idea.

[haras2]

Price is quite elastic, it's more important that I get it right
Maybe up to £50 and we can split it 2 ways

A message on a cricket figure, maybe?

Thank you all
There's such a lot to look through
Will let you know what we decide on but it will take a wee while

I would've suggested cricket season tickets for next year but.........

Maybe a cricket jumper/tank top?

[Maydup]

Or a piece of cricket memorabilia from ebay. Something old and unusual.

[calmck]

eBay has miniature cricket bats signed by Indian teams and individual players

I have finally decided what to get for Mr Priya but the road has been long and winding.
I loved the idea of flowers but they are not going to last.
The amount of cricket stuff out there is so vast, I just didn't know where to start.
You'll probably think it pretty boring but I finally decided on a set of a pens from Wales which is where I'm from, in a nice box.
I'm hopeless at links anymore complicated than Whatsapp but they are on the Etsy site under the heading:
Dragon Design chrome Pen Box and Two pen set if any one can be bothered
Thank you all

[Mamyalynne]

Very smart too.

Thank you Mamyalynne for putting it on
Just hope he likes it!
(but it's the thought that counts!)
