Charro on Nov 12, 2015Time! Being a mom I know that I want nothing more than time spent with my grown sons. Go do something with him, weekend fishing, camping or helping him around the house. If that isn't possible give him a gift certificate to Home Depot or Lowes and he can pick out what he wants...Helpful Reply

The Mrs. on Nov 12, 2015Another idea: If he shaves you could always get him a reoccurring subscription to the place called Dollar Shave Club. 10.oo first shipment then 6 a month after that and 4 new cartridges sent in mail each month! I did that for hubby!Helpful Reply

Ann on Nov 13, 2015We made a memory book about growing up on our Oregon farm. We did it with ABCs and we kids wrote memories of our childhood. I added fun little illustrations in the margins and a custom cover then we gave them the original and printed out plenty of copies for the whole family.Helpful Reply

Tonia on Nov 13, 2015Does he have a product that he really likes? You can get it personalized for him. My husband likes to cook spicy food so I bought him a gallon of tabasco that was labled just for him and signed by the president of the company.Helpful Reply

Sheryl Gilliland on Nov 13, 2015Give him a dianalyn book. Think of things he needs done,like he doesn't have time or the ability to get it done, or things that are more pleasant for two to do. Then print them out on small tags (coupons), make a book of them and the gift is done. My daughter gave me one and I loved it. 1 vacuuming, 1 house cleaning, 5 hrs of shopping, etc.Helpful Reply

Diana Deiley on Nov 13, 2015A lunch or dinner date with you at his favorite restaurant. Sometimes it's just the time you spend alone with him will be most memorable. Quality one on one is priceless.Helpful Reply

Buster Evans on Nov 13, 2015What age is your dad? Is he still pretty active? Does he read? Tinker in the garage? Does he wear hats /ball caps? Gift cards are cool along with/in his birthday card...Photo collages of you your family etc..Or just be funny and pick up something that you think is off the wall for his personality... something to make him laugh..Take him out to dinner somewhere where they recognize peoples birthdays and the waiters come over and say or do something special... The main thing most dads want I think is to spend some time with you and yours... doesn't have to be fancy or expensive... One saying I read some years ago has stayed with me ever since ... It says: "The Best Things in Life aren't THINGS". Hope these help.Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Nov 13, 2015What about tools? At Christmas times there are some great sales on tool sets, drill drivers, saws, etc. I may be a woman but Christmas time I usually get new tools. Since you did not give much information, I will ask if he likes to fix or build things...if he does, then tools. If you do not know what to get him, ask him or see what tools he borrows from someone elseHelpful Reply
