I know Christmas has passed but birthday help needed please

[RuthW]

What can my adult dd get for her dad's birthday? She has got everything over the years. (We are divorced). She likes to get a few presents and usually falls back on vouchers or experiences which are out this year.

He hasn't had his Christmas presents yet as she hasn't been able to see him since October.

All ideas welcome. What was a hit with your men at Christmas?

He's 55 and semi-retired. Just left his high powered job to help his wife with the paperwork for her business.

Thank you

Hi OP! I know planning js tricky at the moment with covid and restrictions, but now about an open-dated voucher for an experience, (not sure where abouts in the country you are) but for me in the South for example you can never go wrong with an Afternoon Tea or 3 Course Meal voucher at somewhere like the Chewton Glen or the Limewood Hotel?

I was gifted an experience at the above hotels last year and they have been really flexible with dates, even extending the voucher for a further 18 months due to Covid/lockdowns!
Keep us posted 💕

Something for the garden? Potatoes and a growbag, a mushroom growing kit or a leaf blower / hedge trimmer? An excercise bike? A robot vacuum? Really good socks?

Thank you. Some good ideas there. Keep them coming!

I got DH a subscription to the spicery, but it depends if he’s into cooking and spicy food?
Basically you get a box once a month with recipe cards, spice blends etc to cook a curry type meal, with starter and sides.
DH loves it. (Google the spicery and it should come straight up if it’s his kind of thing).
If he likes wine, then M&S do hampervtype deliveries with a couples of bottles of red and little gifts, or afternoon tea delivery and various others (easier for women, but some of them are aimed at blokes too And that way he’d actually get something for his birthday).
A weather station?

Or have a scroll through the last few pages on the Christmas boards, there will be a few threads of gift suggestions for the men in your life.

I got my dad a wildlife camera for him to set up in his garden for Christmas.
