 Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 7:18 pm Post subject: christmas gifts for Dad |
 |
|
My dad: 56 years old, American, rural school district superintendent, enjoys outdoor activities (but not in winter!) and watching TV. Workaholic, but not the suit-wearing type. I got him Civilization IV when it came out in october so I don't want to get another computer game.
He's a little easier to shop for than Mom. But in the interest of symmetry, please post your Christmas gift ideas for Dads here. |

| My dad's horrible to shop for this, but this year I got him one of those Seiko Kinetics watches...does your dad dig new technology and bling? If so that's the perfect combo there my friend. |

| Since you're having trouble shopping for both parents, why not see if you can get them a joint gift. A gift certificate for a restaurant they both like or something along those lines. |

I'm not really having trouble with my father's gift... just posted the thread because I thought lots of people were considering the same questions, and wanted to see who had interesting ideas I hadn't thought of. |
