Completely stuck for my dad

Would be so grateful for ideas please, I'm totally stuck! I need to buy something for my dad and I'm fresh out of ideas. I've always bought him something related to his hobbies but I feel like I've exhausted the possibilities!

He's a keen guitarist and has recently got hugely into singing, he's joined a choir and is absolutely loving it. He also loves his motorbike. Food wise he's keen on chocolate, coffee and cheese but I feel like I've done the foodie gifts to death. Everyone gets him things like travel cups and fancy coffee so I want to think outside the box a bit so he doesn't just end up with a ton of coffee!

I would have a look on NOTHS for something personalised and musical themed and/or practical maybe? Does he have a nice music stand/plectrum/plenty of guitar music to learn? Dads are hard to buy for! I’m stuck for mine too - he also loves guitar but has everything he needs. I was thinking of buying him some recording studio time to record him playing some pieces but that’s really more a present for me lol.

Engraved bottle opener shaped like a guitar ?

These are all brilliant ideas, thanks so much! I'll have a sneaky look when I visit him tomorrow and see if he has a wall stand.

Pitch pipes?
Little pocket pipes that let you start a song on the right note.
My Dad is a singer/guitarist and uses them a lot.

Something totally different - an experience like driving a ferrari or trip on a hot air balloon or something.

For something smaller, I went to The Chocolate Emporium and got my Dad some of the cool imported chocolates that you can't get in this country.

Are there any choirs or classical singers doing shows at a local theatre? Or even a bit further afield? You could go together have some quality time the two of you.

What about some motorbike glove liners or a snood? Really good thermal quality. My dad is a nightmare to buy for but I often but him useful good quality winter stuff (like photographers gloves)
