Just looking for some inspiration. It is also my Dad's birthday on fathers day so need double inspiration for presents! My dad is 66, likes birdwatching, trains, theatre, drinks wine and beer but not spirits, does not like chocolates/sweet stuff and has just moved house...

We've ordered my Dad a Riverford Box which contains all the components for a steak supper; steak, eggs, onions, bread etc
He doesn't need or want anything so food is a sure winner!0 -
I got my dad 10kg of suet pellets,obviously they're not for him but he loves his garden birds and now the money he would have spent on the birds he can spend on himself or my mum! They were half the price he usually pays so he's quids in.Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.0
