Help me shop: Dad's birthday?

watercolor5watercolor5 member
in September 2012 Moms
I'm always out of ideas for what to get my dad for his birthday.  I usually resort to something revolving around cooking- food from omaha steaks, spices from penzey's spices, sauces from williams sonoma.  Anyone have any other suggestions?  I feel like he doesn't appreciate high quality in alcohol, and it's something I need to be able to ship easily.  He had knee replacement surgery last year, so is less athletic than he used to be- most of his hobbies used to be exercise related.  I could go clothes, but I'd be guessing a bit on sizes.  Help?

    Does he like to read? Is there somewhere he'd want to go that you could do a gc -- restaurant, show, sporting event? Something for outdoors like a lovely plant or tree?

    He does like to read, but I never know what he's already read.  Hmm, maybe a kitchen herb garden starter kit?  I wish this aerogarden wasn't so expensive.

    Does he have an e-reader?  You can get a Nook for around $100.

    Can you get him something that involves the kids? I gave my dad a desk plaque with their picture and a quote about being a grandpa for his b-day last year. Along with a few books and a restaurant gift card.

    What about a monthly subscription to something? Like bacon, beer they even have desserts.

    "Great fathers get promoted to grandfathers" was the saying I used on a picture of him with the kids one year

    Yup! I did beer for DH last year for his birthday. It's not cheap but he LOVED it. I looked into the bacon one but with all the other crap I got him I wasn't spending that. I haven't used this specific company but here's a link:

    I did use this one for DH for beer though and he was super pleased with it:

    Don't forget Ebates for Craft Beer! :)
