What to get a man that has everything?

essex-girl_4

Hi All

Wondered if anyone has any ideas on what i can get my dad this year for Christmas, he is a man that has EVERYTHING!! And i mean everything!!

Every year i get stuck for gifts to get him for his birthday and christmas and its usually a shirt or some alcohol which is getting really boring now!

He is a lucky git that has the money to buy anything and everything whenever he wants so buying him a gift is a nightmare as hes usually got whatever you get him anyway!

Anyone have any ideas as its doing my head in!

Thanks

McAzreal usually suggests Champagne or a Harmonica!

There's a thread I posted a little while back HERE that might be of use? My other half is equally difficult to buy for!

Good luck in your gift hunting!

My Dad is exactly the same as yours by the sound of it.
This year I've got him a small personalised present and calander for hima nd my Mum and then they are getting lakeside vouchers (they asked for these) as its pointless buying him more clothes etc. At least this way he can get whatever he likes and just put these towards it

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but have you thought of gift experience cards? I had a similar problem for a gift and got a gift experience from Red Letter Days. I got a voucher which allows them to choose what experience they want to do. It's different and definately better than all the usual gifts.

Why not get him some things that relate to when he was little...old fashioned sweets, a black & white photo of the area he grew up in etc.

Is there anything he likes? My Dad loves Grand Prix & Grand prix legends always have something new in (great for bike fans too as they have old & new memorabilia as well as signed models etc)

For my Dad's 60th we hired a 60 year old bus & all went out for a meal (he loves old busses & trains).

What about a digital photo frame & put lots of great photo's on the memory stick for him. Or I am thinking about an etched crystal photo (as a 40th anniversary gift for my parents)

Or even some home made gifts.......

Good luck

How about a magazine subscription? A weekend away? Aftershave? A nice pen - maybe a Waterman fountain pen?

I forgot to mention, if you go down the magazine subscription route, see if you can get cashback through Quidco or use Tesco Clubcard vouchers which are worth 4 x face value.

This year I'm getting my dad a 'tablet' for his computer, so he doesn't have to use a mouse, they are really handy (I have one already). You can get them from PC world - tip: Do your research before going in the shop, I found one on the interest for £60, but in the store it was £75, so I asked them if they could do a better deal and they did - reduced it to £59.99. not bad eh?

My Dad is impossible to buy for too - not because he has everything, but because he doesn't want anything. He wouldn't wear nice shirts or aftershave, he wouldn't drink booze, etc.

This year I've got him some nice bird feeders to hang up, with some different types of food to attract different birds (some of the grubs to attract little birds, different types of nuts, etc). I'm also making him a photo calendar with pictures of the two of us. I'm debating buying him a goat from Oxfam, you know the scheme where the goat goes to a family in Africa and you get a gift certificate? Or I might get him a magazine subscription to National Geographic or something. And a big box of chocs as well!

I have used Tesco clubcard vouchers for subscription to Nat Geo mag for my dad. HTH

Theatre or concert tickets always go down well with my dad even cinema tickets.
