if you get something for the household get something you'll use as well. coffee machine or something, waffle iron or a fancy toaster. (new kettle, digital radio for the kitchen, a 'juice maker')

I like the waffle iron idea.
I may just be purchasing a waffle iron this holiday season.

£50 worth of bongo? A great gift.
I'd buy a few boardgames. £50 would get you: Buckaroo; Operation; Risk and Monopoly and ensure you end up knocking seven shades out of each other by new years eve.

If you guys drink, get a small thing of absynth and have a toast.
And then have a pyschotic roomate orgy that you guys wont talk about for years to come.
Unless your all guys. You can ignore my comments if your all guys.

When drinking it, beware the following:
It will get you drunk in literally seconds. I really mean this- proper lose your balance, slurred speech, falling down drunk. I would strongly advise you only drink it in the house and be near something you can sit/collapse onto when you do. A generous (single) shot should be enough unless you're a really heavy drinker. You will feel wrecked after about 15 seconds, but this soon passes and it trails off, leaving you in a contented "jolly" state. I'd suggest you have it at the start of the night (ideally as a first drink), rather than at the end. This way it'll cause you to rapidly reach the 3-4 pint happy stage, rather than lapsing into unconciousness/throwing up.
Forget what you read about the thujone content of this particular absinthe. Whilst it's comparatively high for most absinthes on the market these days, it's still so low you'd need to drink a lot to get the effect and it's so strong that you won't be able to drink that much. Really, it's just very, very strong alcohol. As such, don't bother watering it down, or you'll just have a rather unpleasent tasting and not really that strong drink.
As a guideline, a half pint of aftershock I downed in 4 seconds had less immediate effect on me than one shot of this stuff!
Good price for it.
I've just ordered some from here myself. Whilst it's expensive, it's not as bad as it first seems as a bottle lasts a long time because you need so little. I also found taking a bottle to a party and giving everyone a shot is a good icebreaker too (because everyone is rapidly canned).

A bottle of absinthe, a waffle iron, ingredients for waffles.
That fucking brilliant. I would be overjoyed if someone bought that for me.

Then make it an event. Invite some girls over for waffles. Make the first sunday in every month waffle day or something.
Thats what life's all about.
Seriously, invite all the chicks you know, and some guys to make it less suspecious. They would be impressed by your waffle making skills.

Drinking it, I've often felt close to throwing up and other people have said the same, but I've never actually seen it make anyone sick. I've only ever come across one pub that sold it and they marked you hand when serving it, as they (sensibly) limited it to one shot per customer per night. £4.99 a time as well!
