Struggling here for ideas for my boyfriend's dad. He really loves gadget-y type gifts but it's difficult to think of new things he doesn't have! In previous year he's had gifts like a helicopter drone and a wallet ninja -- basically typical 'boy' presents!! There's no point getting him sensible gifts because they aren't really touched.

He's not sporty, is quite into DIY and is a big kid at heart.
All ideas and advice are so greatly appreciated xx

Laser measure?

I recommend this to people every year, so you may have already tried this. Years ago, DH bought himself a lock picking kit similar to this. He loved it, and I was annoyed that I hadn't thought of it myself, so I've been recommending it ever since.

Can I say the lock picking kit is a great idea. Fil - one of those and a bottle of whiskey = done

Hadn't considered the lock picking set but after looking at it now, it seems right up his street... thank you x

I'd love some of these for me

I get mine a tile mate every year. He loses his keys or his glasses frequently. The last one is at the bottom of a lift shaft in Waitrose with his keys.

Tool belt is a great idea too!

The wallet ninja looks good.... not sure how the 'cell phone stand' bit works tho?

I8toys · 14/11/2019 11:39

Echo Dot is the best prezzie I bought him.

@youngestisapsycho we have yet yo find a phone/card combo which makes the wallet ninja phone stand work. It all looks fine, till you put the phone on, then it pretty much collapses.

Ah... I see. Thanks 👍🏻

I'd second echo dot and, (or if he already has dot/google thing), smart plug.

I quite like the laser measure thing but wouldn't get much use here.
