I'm lacking inspiration for my Dad's gift! What have you got yours?

[lucysmam]

So far he has a scarf to unwrap. It's a nice scarf, but still, it's just a scarf. And I've made him a Christmas cake, which I do most years.

He'll likely spend the day on his own; he won't come here & I doubt he'll travel to my sister as he does most years.

Any ideas for something he could do maybe? I did see someone suggest Journal 29 on another thread for dp/dh's so may order one of those tomorrow. But he had a mystery solving book last year so it seems a bit samey.

Aaaarrrrggggggghhhh!!

Handkerchiefs so you're doing better than me

VR headset. (At least, that's what I'd probably be getting mine if opportunity allowed!)

I’ve gone halves with my sister and got him an exercise bike, cause we know he’s wanted one for a while. Bit of a random gift though for anyone who doesn’t specifically want one.

In previous years I’ve got him a food and wine hamper and he’s absolutely loved that.

Some walking shoes
A Bluetooth headphone woolly hat
His favourite sweets

Ooh @Bubblebox where's the headphone woolly hat from? He does go walking quite often so may use one of those

How old is he?

Mines getting a pair of binoculars from me and my sister and a bottle of wine from the grandkids.

DDad has a new hat for dog walking.

But DH has a beer brewing kit which will should keep him busy for a while over xmas and new year and hopefully yield something for me to drink in 2021 so it's a win-win.

AuntieMarys he's almost 70. He's very into tech & enjoys walking breaks, with friends, but tends to buy himself pretty much anything he needs/wants.

Google home speaker (thinks that's what they're called?), fancy bottle of gin, and as always, a Terry's choc orange

Vouchers for his favourite restaurant
Leather gloves
Jumper
Port
Chocolates

@lucysmam it's from Amazon. The one that I bought is out if stock but there are a few on there.
I am going to buy another for DH

I’ve made him up a food hamper to his preferences, lots of posh jams, chutneys, cakes, biscuits, sweets and tea. I have also bought him a scarf, a wallet and Bletchley Park Brainteasers book.

Thanks Bubblebox, I'll have a look now.

Velvetiser and hot chocolate set from Hotel Chocolat

Magazine subscription? my dear old dad is no longer with us but in the past he enjoyed Private Eye and New Scientist

I've bought my dad something like this but it's a long tailed tit www.etsy.com/uk/listing/891013256/pebble-robin?ref=shop_home_active_7&frs=1

My Dad's got golf gloves, wireless headphones and fancy gin!

A case of claret from Berry Bros. Never fails to please!

Barbour fleece gilet. He can wear it round the house when it's cold. They delivered pretty quick too.

A jumper (not a Christmas jumper, just a good quality normal jumper). I've been buying him a jumper for the last three or four years, and he always wears them happily, so I stick with what works.

If he likes puzzles how about an escape room game? Unlock are a great range.

A bottle of whiskey. Same as every year.

He isn't really a man for presents.

My dad... Two garden ornaments (from DDs) and a book.
FIL... BbQ (joint with MIL) and a jigsaw.

Word searchers and a puzzle book jumper sweets and probably a bottle of red wine.
