Or maybe make up a gift basket with a new teapot, teacup and saucer, and some different types of teas to try. I think Whittards do a selection pack of various sorts.

The diabetic man might like a pipe and some nice tobacco.

I forgot to mention he only has one functioning lung. Useless old duffer.
Handheld Deal or no Deal seems a great idea.

Secret Santa gift for £5 - recipient and sex unknown - must be fun but not too saucy.

Have you got a Hawkins Bazaar near you? They have all sorts of cheap(ish) things suitable for a Secret Santa. For example, there's this :

Secret Santa gifts I saw which were quite successful in previous years were things like a Pop-Up Pirate game or the travel version of Guess Who. If you have a Poundland near you, they often have their own generic version of those sorts of games (for only a quid).

A coffee mug with coffee sample and some biscotti biscuits would be a nice either-sex gift for about a fiver too. And you can get nice mini boxed Panettone cakes for 99p each in Tesco.

Man, your diabetic guy sounds like a potentially hilarious wet blanket. Maybe you could get him a second functioning lung for Christmas, or an iron lung that could smoke a pipe for him.

19 year old male relative who hates "the man," likes stupid and rude humor, reads nonfiction more than fiction, loves tim burton movies, and likes knowing about famous philosophers but not necessarily actually reading them?
