Fil Gift Help

I need some help trying to figure out what
to get Shane's dad for Christmas. He's the
only one on our list that we are still
clueless about! He has tons of money in
the bank to buy whatever he wants so it's
pretty impossible! Any ideas would be
great! He's into baseball, hunting,
drinking, looking at porn online (lol)
& he's pretty much a little housewife,
he loves cleaning & cooking. Help

Could you do something that money can't
buy? Something sentimental maybe?

I'm not sure if he'd like anything
sentimental, he's not really a mushy, show
your feelings type of guy so I think he'd
like something more geared toward sports
or hunting. I never thought of a hunting
magazine subscription, that might be a
good idea!

What's his favorite baseball team? Maybe
you could get him a jersey or something
from his fav player on the team or
something along those lines.

I'm no good at man stuff. Women are soooo
much easier to buy for. A valet organizer
thingy? The hunting magazine subscription
sounded like a great idea. Camping stuff?
I'm not outdoorsy at all so I wouldn't
even know what to suggest...

Women ARE so much easier to buy for. Last
year we couldn't figure out what to get
him so we got him the Norton Antivirus
thing for his computer, that was a last
minute thing we thought of as we were
walking through Best Buy though. What's a
valet organizer? So far I'm thinking the
hunting mag. subscription would be best, I
just really don't know though!

What about making a calendar or something
with Kaylee's pics on it. You can have
things like that made at walmart.com.
There's mugs, mouse pads, etc.

Think before you shop. When you're
shopping for the man who has everything,
says Vaughan, you should spend a lot of
time thinking about ideas. If you choose
well, the gift recipient will be impressed
with the inspiration behind the idea and
the fact that it is really tailored to his
tastes.
A literary gem. One great gift idea is a
signed first edition of a book by your
recipient’s favorite author. It's a
one-of-a-kind gift that a man who has
everything will still treasure because
there's a personal connection to a writer
he loves.
The gift of wine. A case of wine is
another gift idea that Vaughan really
likes. Most wine shops will let you choose
a mixed case, so you can mix and match
your wines to the person’s tastes.
Barbecue. Most American men are big fans
of barbecue, so gifts like gourmet
barbecue sauces, spices ribs or great
grill accessories can be very popular. A
gift certificate to your area’s best
barbecue joint could also be a winning
present.
Get creative. The idea is to come up with
something creative, a little
out-of-the-ordinary, and personalized to
your friend’s tastes. The perfect gift
is one that a man will cherish, but would
never go out and buy for himself because
it’s a little too indulgent or
extravagant.
