What to get a dad who has everything?

I’m so stuck on what to get my dad this year. He really doesn’t need anything but I really want to get him something thoughtful. Any ideas? He’s in his 60s, likes the outdoors, still working full time (and the rest), loves current affairs, history, walking, travelling. Him and my mum are a nightmare to buy for cos they’re very much about icing their best lives these days so buy what they want and go where they want, when they want. They’ve done a bucket list of concerts over the last few years, in the past I’ve g to them tickets Flor something but that feels pointless this year. Please help!

I bought my Dad a new DAB radio in a retro style for his big 60+ birthday and he's getting a big jumper from Nauticalia for Christmas. And some socks and a bottle of Old Spice :-D.

National Trust or English Heritage membership

Tickets to somewhere historical ie I got DH Bletchley Park tickets one year, and another to another WW2 landmark near us.

History book or one on great walks in England etc

A decent quality travel mug

A nice day/meal out for all of you. I think when you have everything you need, what you crave more is just time with loved ones. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy.

Go on Etsy.

What does your Dad like? Mine likes octopuses. Put ‘octopus’ in Etsy and you see a handmade glass with beautiful Octopus etching, or a cool t shirt, or notebook, etc.

Can go wrong with some nice expensive aftershave.

A monthly magazine subscription for the year - something he is interested in. Hopefully something for him to look forward to until next Christmas.

I got my Dad a heated gilet this year. He likes to potter about in his garage working on a vintage car he is restoring so thought that would be good for that. He's also a bit prone to bending the wrong way and hurting his back these days so can even wear the gilet about the house to help with that.
Also getting a restaurant voucher for him and mum to go somewhere nice together.

Heated gloves and socks, pocket binoculars, small insulated picnic/ lunch bag.
