Dad 70th present help!

5 replies

My Dad turns 70 soon and I'm looking for present ideas. We don't have much spare cash at the minute so £50 is my absolute max budget.

He is so hard to buy for as he doesn't have any massive likes or hobbies. He has a dog he dotes on, a camper van and enjoys gardening (but not so much in the growing sense, more tending to the garden and buying accessories for it!).

He's one of those men who don't really want or need much, and anything he does want he will just buy himself. He's not really a nice wallet, gloves, aftershave, alcohol kind of man.

I'm leaning towards something garden related but it's completely out of my comfort zone so I don't know what would be good. I'd love some ideas if anyone can help!

Is he sentimental about his camper van? Could a local artist do a small painting of it?

I got my dad a simple tool kit and a tool box. He loves it.🤗🤗🤗

A painting of the dog.

Bird table, nesting boxes, sun dial, bird bath type thing for the garden.

Newspaper from the day he was born.

A photo book with family pictures in it? Or I found a school book my mum used to love when she was in school.

My mum was 60 a few years ago and similarly difficult to buy for.
We got her a photo frame like this and put in photos, mostly, of me and my siblings, grandkids and a nice photo of my parents. But obviously you could fill it with any nice photos of memories of your DDad's life.
