Can I buy my dad for Christmas.
Everyone gets him chocolate or biscuits. He has everything he needs as far as clothes, hats, scarves, gloves etc are concerned. He has all he needs as far as his hobbies and interests are concerned. He's partially sighted but very mobile and fit for someone in their mid nineties. I'm well and truly stumped. |

Sweets? My grandma had a big thing for sugared almonds so I got her a bag every Christmas.
Have also for my husband's grandma created a personalised photo calendar with pictures of her great grandchildren every month. Easy to do online. You can also do photo books or mugs etc. Or if you feel lazy just get a really nice photo printed, buy a nice frame and give that. |

I saw a gift idea on FB the other day. You put in a memorable date and location and it shows a star map for that date and location. Maybe your date of birth or his? |

I never knew what to buy my mum as she really had all she needs. Over the past few years I have gone down the lines of spa breaks, afternoon tea days or theatre tickets which gets her out the house as well as giving me something to look forward to also. |

An experience/ day out voucher maybe?
We used to have a similar problem buying for my dad. People that have everything they want are a nightmare to buy for good luck  |

A hang drum.
One of my favourite instruments, ethereal sounding, therapeutic..
If you have a sense of rhythm it sounds great. Sounds great even if you don't.. |

I'm contemplating learning bricklaying and my brother is about to get a crash course in aerial fitting and roof tiling because I can't cope with more of this until some actual tradespeople find time to even price up things. His house/garage is a dangerous mess |

Does he go walking much? We bought my Dad one of those fancy walking stick/poles for his birthday and he loves that. He had a fall just before his birthday while out walking and lost a bit of confidence but he’s much happier now he has the pole to walk with.
Also, every Christmas my sister pays for an annual subscription for his golf magazine which is a pretty cool present as it lasts all year.
Talking from a male point of view (I know I’m pretty feminine but I am ‘officially’ male so I can haha) I am always happy and grateful to receive simple presents like smellies (I love receiving some posh shower gel that I can save for when I’m going out somewhere and want to smell extra nice). |

"Hookers and , can't go wrong with the a classic.
I like your use of the plural
Well he's your dad you don't want to cheap out  "
True! .
He reliably informed me that since his prostate operation he can no longer have children but can still have sex (thanks dad ) and he also told me that at his age he can take risks so I think you've probably hit on the perfect gift |

I haven’t got a very sweet tooth so I have to pretend to be happy about receiving chocolate as a gift haha. I don’t dislike it but I don’t get excited about it either, I’d much prefer a multi pack of crisps....I’d be genuinely excited and happy to receive crisps as a present.
I always get bought underwear (male) which I like as I’d never buy that for myself so it’s good to be able to chuck out some of the worn out pairs of boxer shorts when I get some new ones.
Personally I think men are a lot easier to buy for than women....any tips on what to buy my mom (who has everything and is quite fussy) would be grateful appreciated haha. |

If only everyone was as easy as you to buy for.
Yep, tips for mums would be good. I've got mine sorted but it will help other people |

For my mum, apart from the usual stocking fillers, not the kind of drop dead gorgeous stocking fillers like we have on here I might add, I've had several old photos made into canvases for her, including some of her wedding photos, and they can then be switched around throughout the year. Apart from the obvious nostalgic value, the mental health team have suggested that surrounding a place with memories keeps the mind of a dementia sufferer stimulated. It might be worth thinking about whether your dad's memory is good or not so good. |

A experience, a day out just the two of you maybe for a afternoon tea or a day trip that envolves his hobby that just you 2 can do and have quality time together.
Things arnt needed but people always appreciate quality time together  |

He's as sharp as a tack. It's my mother who has compromised short term memory.
The problem when someone is partially sighted is that visual reminders aren't quite as effective. |

"Can I buy my dad for Christmas.
Everyone gets him chocolate or biscuits. He has everything he needs as far as clothes, hats, scarves, gloves etc are concerned. He has all he needs as far as his hobbies and interests are concerned. He's partially sighted but very mobile and fit for someone in their mid nineties. I'm well and truly stumped."
Why not give him a time voucher where you promised to take him out out for a meal or something as a family at some point in the new year as a guy I want nothing just time with my wife and kids. |

That's a great idea.
I do spend a lot of time with my dad so do our daughter and her husband. If I could give him a voucher for time with his other children and grandchildren that would be a different matter |
