    One of the things I've given my dad that he appreciates the most, is a long-handled shoe horn. I ordered it from a mobility-aids site, though he doesn't have mobility problems as such (just a father xmas belly and a tendency towards laziness lol). Also something anyone very tall or with back problems might like? Just might be something he doesn't already have....

    I bought this for my Mum last year http://www.presentsformen.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=4705&CAWELAID=92600015
    She loves anything for the garden and fell in love with this.
    (OK she's a woman and not a man who has everything but it was lovely all the same!)
    That's lovely Miranda. I would love a dovecot in my garden and this reminds me of one. Great find thankyou.

  • How about a pastry brush? Put it in a little box and lable it, 'For the man who has everything, A bellybutton fluff removal brush' or words to that effect. Its cheap and worth a laugh.

    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!

    I suggested champagne and harmonicas in a difficult boyfriend thread just two minutes ago. I should start a champagne and harmonica gift box set company. Really, what kind of person would not want to receive a harmonica for Christmas?

    I find all the men in our family difficult to buy for but some of the presents I've done are:
    Car wash kit - car wash essentials in a plastic bucket wrapped in cellophane
    Liquorice basket - ordered different old fashioned sweets all flavoured with liquorice and popped in a basket, wrapped in cellophane
    365 facts in a jar - facts found online, printed, cut and popped in a jar (could do the same with jokes)
    Old age survival kit
    Lucky sixpence minted the year of birth
    Dad quote book - decorated a mini scrapbook with papers and quotes about dad's

    I have bought my dad and father-in-law the "Haynes Man Manual: The Definitive Step-by-step Guide to Men's Health". It is basically a men's health book, but in the style of a Haynes workshop manual - you know, the ones that tell you how to fix your car.

    This was one of the most popular gifts on Christmas day a couple of years back with all the male members of the family passing it around to each other.

    It's a bit humerous, but also a thoughtful gift as it shows that you care about his health.
  • Maybe somthing for his sense of humour lol
