Hi all,

I need some inspiration for gift ideas for my dad. I usually get him "tech" stuff, but now i've ran out. In the past I have got him things like a digital camera, an I pad, a coffee machine and other things that I can't think of just now. He doesn't have internet, which limits what I can get him. My budget isn't a big one this year, around £50...Any ideas please? He's 73 if that makes a difference Smile

My dad is similar age. What do you get the man who needs nothing??? I've got mine a jigsaw puzzle, 6 month magazine subscription, a photo calendar of the grandchildren and a 6 pack of walnut whips. For his bday I was stumped so went to the farm shop and got a load of random food - biscuits, apple juice, chutney and jam, nuts and dates and put it in a little apple crate with a book and bottle of his favourite wine

A jumper in a colour that would suit him that he doesn't already wear? DFiL gets really happy when we update his style as he has got a bit set in his ways with it.

New dressing gown or slippers or lounge wear for endless lockdowns, if any ofhis is getting shabby.

A big jigsaw with a photo of your DC on it?

Membership of NT or RHS as gardens are apparently staying open this time, so he could go out for exercise to somewhere new.
