My dad’s birthday is subsequent week after which clearly Christmas is true across the nook. I at all times wrestle with what to get him – really a person that doesn’t want something. Early 60s, nonetheless working however retiring within the subsequent few years, lives within the Mid Atlantic. Is lively and has many hobbies, however I haven’t been in a position to get him something for his hobbies that has been a house run. Has made it clear he doesn’t want or need any garments or footwear.
Hobbies embody golf, bowling, going to the seaside, and watching sports activities. He likes to learn, however often solely finally ends up studying on the seaside. He loves cooking, however doesn’t use recipes (so no cookbooks) and doesn’t appear to have any curiosity in any of the enjoyable kitchen devices I’ve gotten him (all of them get handed all the way down to me, not that I’m complaining). Doesn’t drink espresso or liquor, he likes beer however likes what he likes so wouldn’t get pleasure from a cool 6 pack. He’s nicely set on golf and bowling gear, he already has season or partial season tickets to our native professional and school groups that he cares about and is ready with shirts and hats for these groups and his alma mater. He and my mother have a seaside condominium and that’s totally furnished / they’ve the seaside video games and chairs that they like. They don’t often journey past going to the condominium. He’s not outdoorsy, aside from having fun with the seaside and golf. He and my mother have a really tight group of mates with a really, very busy social life.
I reside 30 minutes away, so I see them nearly weekly (and I virtually reside with them on the seaside in the summertime lol) so high quality time collectively isn’t actually a present.
Actually, the one factor I can assume that he actually needs is grandkids and I’m not but ready to provide him that!
