So my Dad is turning 65 this weekend, and we are having a small little family surprise gathering for him. The problem is, I have no idea what to get him anymore. He's retired and isn't too big on hobbies - they can summed up mainly by playing Keno and drinking Miller Lite (gee, I wonder who I take after). I have a couple joke gifts I'm going to get, like a box of golf/keno pencils, but I can't come up with anything "real" to get him. Also he is not into technology at all. He has a computer but never even turns it on.
Help me OOT. |

Buy him one of those beer of the month club memberships where they ship him beer. Then maybe he will drink something other than Miller Lite.
What about a weekend at Foxwoods? Does he like casinos? Slot machines/keno/bingo/etc? There's gotta be some hobbies. Also, if he walks laps in the mall then your dad might be my grandfather. |

Nope, he won't drink anything but Miller Lite.
Foxwoods is good, I get him a weekend at Foxwoods every year for x-mas. Sadly, Let-it-ride is his game - he just refuses to listen to my EV lectures. Also, I swear 100% he walks laps in the mall. I didn't know I had any nephews on 2+2. |

Get him a NetFlix or Blockbuster subscription. That seems like a pretty good present for someone with no hobbies.

[/ QUOTE ] Lol Well, if this idea is no good, I would just take him out to a really nice dinner. I have this same problem with my grandmom -- she just doesn't have too many hobbies. But, she loves spending time with me, so taking her out to dinner is typically a really good present. |
