Mid 50s dad who has everything, wants nothing. What on earth can I get him? That I can realistically order in time...please give me some suggestions. No hobbies as such, not the soppy type im at a loss.

Booze.
Pork pies.
Cheese.

I feel your pain, mine is exactly the same. I've got him a new pair of trainers.

That's like a younger version of my dad. Luckily he lives nearby, so we tend to have him over for dinner, he gets his granddaughter to talk him to death and we have a nice afternoon together as a family. There might be a bit of Euro 2020 involved this year. But we agreed some time ago not to spend money on unnecessary and unwanted gifts, so Father's Day, birthdays etc tend to be token presents and spending time together.

I appreciate this might not work so well if you live at opposite ends of the country, or if you have a strong expectation of producing something gift-wrapped on these occasions. Or if you (or your household collectively) hate the idea of cooking dinner.

I have ordered DH this: biercompany.co.uk/collections/fathers-day

He likes real ale, snacks and has feet.

Something he already really likes but is looking a bit tatty.

Weather station
Bird box thing with camera
Subscription to paper/mag?
Socks with your face on

A day out and a meal out on the way home?
That's what we're doing

A card? If he "wants nothing" then maybe respect that and get him nothing.

Oooh a weather station is quite cool.

Bbq tongs, a picture/ painting/ poster of a place you’ve been/ band you’ve seen etc, chocs, wine puzzle (bought one for my dad- it’s a jigsaw of all the wine varietals and vineyards, if he’s into wine), noise cancelling headphones (zoom calls!), nice shirt/ wallet/ keyring with photos, Dishpatch meal, voucher to do a class of some sort? We are doing a sourdough making class later in the year. Photo album, photo frame etc? Nice Bottle of wine, port and cheese, whiskey/ whatever he’s into?

DH has chocolate and a book coming. He's also asked for a bow to light fires, to compliment the flint I got him for Christmas. He wants to challenge his Dad to a fire starting contest

One of those recipe subscription box things?

This. Full disclosure...it’s my company. These have been our best sellers for father’s day.

I've just ordered some chocolate on Moonpig for my dad. Don't know what else he'd want!

@trilbydoll could you post a link to the bow/flint?

It needs to be something unusual so this sounds good as he has 3 huge fire pits in his courtyard.

Engraved bbq tools

I've ordered mine a morrisons box with 10% off Ploughmans one

Socks with your face on

WTF?

A voucher for a massage, or similar.
A hand made hamper of all his fav treats

What @BadLad, you don't want socks with your children's faces on you say?

Last year I made a video with pictures and narration, it was a slideshow of family photos and a record of me speaking about how great my SO is, etc. Here is a tutorial I used to do that, maybe it will be useful for you- smartshow-software.com/how-to-make-your-own-slideshow.php

Experience related gifts are also great, i.e. picnic or a short road trip.
