Question Posted Thursday December 22 2005, 5:45 pm
You guys are probably annoyed with the questions about Christmas presents, but I really need help. I have presents for everyone except my dad and I need some ideas! I can spend up to $30 and gosh, he's so hard to shop for. But I was wondering, what are you guys getting for your dad?
not_your_star34 answered Thursday December 22 2005, 10:37 pm: What's his personality like? What are his interests?
If he's a sports guy, get him something that has his favorite baseball/basketball/hockey/football team's logo. If he likes PLAYING sports, get him a football/basketball/whatever.
Funny guy? Get him a gag gift, or a t-shirt with a funny saying on it.
Businessman? Get him a nice set of pens, a clock, or a watch.
Music guy? Get him a CD by his favorite musician/band. See if his favorite band has a concert DVD out.
Is he a reader? Get him a book by his favorite author, or a gift card from a book store. A book light is a good choice, and so is a bookmark.
Movie guy? Get him a movie he's been wanting, or a movie you think he'll like. You can also make a 'gift basket' with a movie, some soda, and popcorn. You can even get him a gift card to your nearest movie rental store.
The safest thing is probably a shirt. Maybe a funny shirt, or something. They have shirts for everything now, so it's a pretty safe choice. :o)

I got my dad a salt water fishin poll, cuz he is always workin on this piece of crap he calls a boat, and when it works-someday-he'll want to go fishin on it.

Erinn_the_bamf answered Thursday December 22 2005, 6:33 pm: Well, I got my dad two watch bands because his always break. But they're like $20 each. However, my 60 year old social studies teacher was telling us about his favorite gift from his daughters. It was a letter thanking him for all he has done. DON'T INCLUDE MATERIAL THINGS. If you do that he'll remember it forever. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

AmmoniaImmunity answered Thursday December 22 2005, 5:58 pm: Well, I am getting my dad "Misery", a Oktoberfest Mug, and Tickets to the Wailers. But the big secret gift is that my friend's mom's boyfriend owns the club that they are going to be playing, and I've convinced her to get signatures for me.
