  • Pyjamas & Socks are a given! Something personal from the grandkids are also a cute idea



    What about something personalised with his name on it? notonthehighstreet or something like that?

    If you have a nice picture of you two together or of a trip or holiday, you can have it printed onto a photo Advent calendar - calorie-free with 25 of your own pictures.

  • I know you have bought him some dressing gowns but how about a whole new pyjama set? tops, bottoms, slippers (:

    Does he like books? You could get him an audible subscription!
  • As I get older (I'm 60 now) I find that my friends and partner (and me) appreciate experiences more than things - which become just more "stuff". So, maybe find something he's always wanted to do - get him to talk about his childhood, teenagehood, etc. you might find something that he hasn't done for many years, or used to enjoy - that you can do together. My friend recently took her husband to see a Kate Bush tribute band which he really enjoyed, for example.
