If your old man likes walking you could get him one of those walking stick/ski poles that old people have, a gillet or possibly some nice walking boots/thermal waterproof socks. Go outdoors is a good start.
Old people also like binoculars.

Also don't forget black friday (25th nov), there will be deals galore to save monies on Xmas pressies.

my bro and I keep the chrimbo spirit alive by still buying each other gifts but limited to a max 10 quid spend. it generally involves seeing who can by the other the least desirable thing they can find.Wookienopants wrote:Best Christmas plan.

She likes music and reading, was a former goth girl as a teenager, we've been married a year and have two little 11 week olds. She doesn't really have many hobbies but loves to cook and bake.

Truefact here. One of my mates is self employed and hasn't thought to set up a pension. His big plan is buy one of every Lego and keep it for 20 years. He's just had to buy a sealed shipping container to keep it in. I don't know the maths behind it but it doesn't seem like the most sound idea.Dinostar77 wrote:FYI for anyone buying lego sets for kids etc for Xmas.
