What are you getting for YOUR dad?

[PontyPants]

Thats all really

Brandy & thorntons!
His birthday is the 23rd, I'm getting him a book of his favourite football teams history personalised from his birth date.

marks place. Not only do I have christmas coming up he's got an 80th birthday too.

Slippers from the boys and a school dinners cook book.

Slippers are a little joke as he has found it hard becoming a granddad - I was 28 and he was 52 when ds1 was born four years ago - but is getting better hence time for comfortable footwear!

My backup (if he doesn't suggest something) is a magazine subscription for something to d with this year's main hobby.

One ear it was sea fishing. This year gardening.

I think mine is taking my mum on holiday for some Jan sun, so I am thinking about making a travel hamper - sun tan lotion, blockbuster books (though he has a kindle - I wonder if you can gift to a kindle??) and erm…
I dunno what else. (as I don't know where they are going yet so can't get a travel guide)
Maybe some flip-flops for by the pool or something

Hmm

I'm getting mine some rum, tickets for a show, choc and bubble bath.

A year's subscription to The Week. He loves it!

lego (the lord of the rings wizard battle set as my mums bought him helms deep)

Whiskey, and chocolate. And maybe some Badedas. It's all he wants, really.

I bought him the plectrum maker and I'll get him itunes voucher (he's quite hip for 66) and then a bag of foody stuff.

My Dad is not hip. A pair of scissors and a box of bic biros, that's what he asked for. Well, the scissors he asked for, I'm padding it out with the biros. But I wouldn't want to go overboard. He'll tut if I spend too much.

A bottle of single malt - the same as I get him every year! It's his birthday on Christmas Eve too though, and I don't know what to get him for that.

Oliver Stone's history of America box set, pjs (he's asked for them bless) and travel vouchers, my Mum is getting travel vouchers too as part of her gifts.

A blueberry plant and a pinkberry plant plus a home made hamper of yummy food (savoury bits).

A car cover for his 'project'
And the Jack Reacher film

Amazon voucher to buy kindle books?

A t shirt from Debenhams (in sale!), a framed pic of DD (her 1st Christmas so everyone is getting one!!!) and a plate with her footprints on (although we may keep that!!), but he hasn't told me what he wants yet so there will prob be a book/CD/DVD as well.
