Help! What can I buy my dad for his 70th?

[NottsMum]

I've been racking my brains for something a bit more special to by my dad for his 70th birthday but I'm stuck. He's a nightmare to buy for as everything seems to just be stored away in the wardrobe (which drives me mad), so I don't want to have my gift wasted, I'd rather have the £25!

Any suggestions please??????

a bay tree. he can't put that in his wardrobe.

a day trip somewhere or a nice meal out?

what about inthepaper.com quite good 'keepy' idea?????

Nice idea, but a bay tree is sooo not my dad. Made me laugh though

Unfortunately I can't do a day trip or meal out as I can't afford to treat my mum at the moment .

Just been to inthepaper.com but it's some weird list of links, the first one being:
"Incontinence odor?
Odor eliminating charcoal cloth works with your incontinence pad
www.flat-d.com"

are you trying to say something about my dad!!!

DH and are are now googling for historical papers though..... nice idea....

but PLEASE keep the ideas coming!

Done! I've bought a bound historical newspaper which I think he'll really like (fingers crossed)

Have his local paper delivered for 6 mths
Or pay for it, if he already gets it.

Or pay for something he already gets?

Oops too late
