How about naming a star for him?:happyhear We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.

How about a book of UK pub walks and a pair of walking boots?
Tickets to see one of these retro Rock groups that keep reforming?
An engraved hip flask?
Meal voucher to eat at one of those Gastro pubs?Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
I made my mum a memory jar for her 60th, I decorated a lidded glass jar then asked friends and family to write down any fond/funny/embarassing memories of mum throughtout her life.
I rolled these up into little tubes of handmade paper and tied with ribbon.
She loved it!!!! And all my relatives thought I was a hero!!! ( Brownie points for me!!!)
Good luck deciding what to do x
P.s I put a load of her favourite sweets from her childhood in the bottom - went down a treat!0 -
We paid for my Father in law to drive a steam train on the Severn Valley - He loved it.
We have something fun planned for my dad as well but I can't say what it is incase he reads it on here!!Sealed Pot Challenge Member Number #19060 -
Are there any magazines that he likes? You could get him a year's subscription to New Scientist or Private Eye or something like that, if you think he'd enjoy it.Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)
Debt free success date: 14.8.2006 :j0
