Help! Last minute Christmas gift...

[mia214jia]

Ok I need help from SR. Here's the deal. I am struggling with finding a Christmas gift for my Dad. Why is that a problem? I have only known him for the last 3 yrs. He has everything! Literally. ( a Boat, 3 Harleys, a Saleen Mustang, 2 vans .... A big man cave to put it all in ) He's retired so he comes and goes as he pleases. Loves to go to drag races and is a Freebird literally speaking! I given him pictures of me when I was little. But all really I have given him was gift cards and gift subscriptions to clubs and magazines. This year I am STUCK~ I want to give him something that shows how much I so glad he is in my life> I cant buy a card because they are either too plain or are for kids who have had their dad all thier life. The clock is ticking and I need some inspiration. So Trica, Cindy, Magical Jen ( if your back) Sunni, Kathi, Amy, Blessing and Miracle , Angie and M n C' ... purge me with ideas and anyone else that wants to jump in.

Oh tough one. I am having trouble with my own dad. As cheesy as it sounds could you make a photobook in the next 24 hours of the past 3 years. I can't remember your family makeup (kids or sans kids) but maybe you can find pictures of you/your family with him the past 3 years to put in a photobook and you can google for fun quotes to put as captions. That is what my brother and I are doing for my parents along with some gift cards.

Hmmm, does he need a wife, someone in their 50'? J/K

If he has all these toys, there are always some neat things to buy him for them. Maybe new Harley riding gloves. Theres a neat Harley calendar at calendars.com and a neat book on Overstock, 100 years of Harley. If he smoked, there are several place that have Harley cigarette lighters. Also, what about a nice basket from GourmetGiftBaskets. They even have a beer pail if he drinks beer, its pretty cute, and they have FS right now. Or someplace that has home food delivery like Home Bistro, their stuff is excellent.

I was just reading a magazine yesterday and it had 8 gift ideas for guys. Am I allowed to put the link on here?
*****cannot mention merchants that are not Sunshine Rewards*******
If this is now allowed, I'll delete.
I thought the solar powered battery charger was cool. Also the grill with built in speakers! Another option might be a steak box. I know we have sent boxes to DH's dad and step mom of steaks and stuff.
One of the other ideas on that magazine article was a charger station. We have one but it is larger. We have our cell phone chargers in it and the battery charger for the camera. When we go on a trip, we just pick up the charger and take it with us. It has all our plugs in it. It keeps all the phones in one place. I think this would be great for a guy with electronic gadgets.

As I recall, you are taken, but I am not.

Good luck, I hope you find something. Amazon is a great place to look because they have nearly everything, great prices and they are shipping until about the 23rd.

What about a digital photo frame uploaded with pictures or a personalized photo frame from GiftsForYouNow with a photo of the two of you. Their frames are fabulous and reasonably priced. Then there is always Nuts on the Net. HTH's. Let us know what you decide. Good luck.

a gas card for all his toys.

Michele...that is a tough one. My dad doesn't need anything either...

I like Cate's idea about a photobook...about all your family or Lisa's digital frame.

Since he is coming and going...does he have a GPS yet?

You wil laugh at what I am doing....I am baking a big pot of Boston Baked Beans, homemade bread and desserts. It's his favorite. He says mine are as good as my grandmother's was. I already sent him some cookies from Dancing Deer.

I will keep thinking.

I agree with the others, if you can do a photobook, in time, I think that would be a fabulous gift. Especially given your history of not growing up with him. If you could do a chronological one, he could kind of see you as you grew up.

What about a gift pack from Omaha Steaks? Does he like to cook - I know it's winter time, but my father likes to BBQ year round, given the opportunity, LOL!
