What to buy my step dad who has everything?

[DoreenDo]

He's been in my life since my 20s when my dad died so I've not known him as a child or ever loved with him
He has no strong interests. He cares for mum and my sister
He has a very normal quiet life and does a bit of gardening but not serious levels , has no real hobbies
I have run out of options - done pyjamas, shirts, jumpers , socks, mugs, photo gifts.
Doesn't really drink now
I've done a cheese gift and an afternoon tea gift
They have specific places to eat out that don't do vouchers
He's impossible to buy for
I toyed with plants but then my sister told me it was a good idea so she got one !
He's not a sentimental guy so photos etc won't hit the spot. I honestly think he'd be happy with nothing but he's generous to me and family so I want to get "something "
Any quirky ideas ?

I got my dad 2 cans of some odd drink made by Jeremy Clarkson at his farm. He watches the tv show all the time and I saw the cans in the garden centre recently. Ginger beer and some sort of shandy with elderflower or something? I think they'll make him smile, even if they taste weird.

He loves one of the tv antiques programmes but hates Jezza sadly but it's food for thought tjanks
Any more for any more?

Cheese hamper - postacheese is good or chuckling cheese

bonsai tree

Cornish pasty hamper

cream tea

I got my FIL a brew your own coffee set from Amazon. It has 7 different coffees from around the world and some kind of pouch to 'brew' it in.
I was quite pleased with it as we have done all the usual gifts for him too and I thought this was a bit different.

Newspaper from the day he was born.

Bird feeder or bird bath for the garden.

Exotic house plant.

Subscription to a general interest antiques magazine, not one of the very specialist ones.

Rummikub set, to play with your Mum if she is well enough.

My DH is similar. He doesn't have 'everything', but he does have everything he wants. He would be very pleased to receive more than one plant. He definitively would NOT want to be given what he calls 'sentimental tat'. He might like a subscription to a magazine, but that can be very expensive.

His very favourite Christmas present was a pair of slippers. He can afford to buy his own slippers... He just wouldn't think of doing it. He loves them!

I would go for some sort of outing, eg vouchers/tickets for a nearest botanical/pressive garden maybe?
Or something at the theatre?
Or a family outing together?

Loving these. But now hungry for cheese and a pasty

My DD could have written your post. Honestly don't stress. Men are often not bothered about these things anyway. So I usually just take someone out for a meal. Nothing fancy just some family time. Failing that, just a big box of chocolates. I don't really want gifts personally and prefer to go put to eat as a family.

Bake him a cake or some biscuits and wrap them up nicely. Im sure he would appreciate the effort.
(my father is similar, has everything he wants and never asks for anything. I didnt get a present for him last birthday but I know he loves the little doodles I put inside his cards so I just drew an entire cartoon inside!
Maybe its childish as Im over 50 but if he gets a kick out of it then job done!).
