Gift help for uncle

[af1212]

I'm looking for some gift help. I pulled my uncle's name for our holiday gift exchange. There is a $30 limit. He is recently retired (as of June) from a 40 year career as a journalist. Any gift ideas? My mind is blank right now!

does he have any interests or stores he likes to frequent?

Is he still doing any writing after he retired? Maybe a leather bound notebook--not sure if they are under $30.

Sadly, I just don't know much about his current hobbies.

He used to be really into his dog, but she died last year and he has no plans to get a new one. He is very knowledgable about wine, but I feel like he probably already has anything related to wine that he wants. He likes hiking ... does that help?

binoculars?

Omaha steaks?

I have never heard of this but will check it out! He is a good baker!

Got two mini-gift boxes from Penzey's - the grilling spices and the baking spices.

Thank you so much!
