A follow up to favourite tools really.
I retired today and the usual collection was made. I said I wanted a Pure Oasis radio for the garden. Well I got that (one evening testing it seems great) but to my amazement they collected just over £80 extra. I feel I should buy something memorable for the garden with it but I am struggling for inspiration, we have enough trees for example. I thought a special tool might be possible; I have most of the usual ones like ss fork and spade in reasonable nick, any ideas.
Spending £80

Congratulations on your retirement, Geoff. Welcome to the world of being able to garden all day if you want to - or just sitting in the sun if you don't
One idea for your consideration is a really comfortable lounger/sun seat to enable you to sit in the sun all day

Dear Geoff, how about getting a matching pair of all-terrain walking sticks, just thinking ahead of course.
All joking apart, how about a nice piece of sculpture, i really think they can work in a garden,
if you get the right piece in the right place.

You won't have time
If you haven't heard it already, the commonest thing we retirees say is; "Don't know how I ever found time to go to work!"
Now, chickens, not a bad idea. Keeps you at home, at least.

Good call tea-shot - went out and bought some seats yesterday afternoon, thanks for the prompt. Focus is now 10% off everyday for the over sixties by the way.
We've tried chickens, muscovy ducks and guinea fowl previously and didn't get on very well
