Help with Dad Christmas gift - VERY hard to buy for - PLEASE HELP!!!!!!?

by iampeas

Excellent looking, 55 yr. ancient VP of construction firm.

He has everything he needs or wants!

He drinks beer (only) and smokes cigars but only a certain kind (gift baskets with innumerable types are not an option – I’ve tried).
He restored a car, but it’s perfected and nothing I may maybe know is needed. (’57 Bel Aire)
He works with tools but owns every type – probably more than one, he’s already told me that.
He wears cologne, but can’t smell!
He’s a freemason, but I’ve exhausted all gifts that relate
He golfs, but has groundbreaking new clubs, bag, shoes, magazine subscr. He already stocks up on golf balls and tees.
He has a groundbreaking new computer, and doesn’t care for any additional tech-related items.
He buys new clothes all the time and despises my taste (he’s a bit, um, unstylish)
He’s fun – but have jokingly bought him nerf guns, portable videogames and remote control cars in the past.
No hunting or fishing or bowling.
He likes food – but a “meat and potatoes” type of guy – one that already has Omaha steaks deliver all the time.
No sweet tooth.
Will not watch a movie twice, nor tv shows.
He gets gift cards from clients all the time.
No ties.
Renovating the house – well, hired help is
He gardens, but barely. Tomatoes and squash only, I reckon.
Likes jewelry, but his taste is not affordable.
Doesn’t care for sports – goes to some NFL games, but not a right “fan”
New wallet. His type of watches wouldn’t suit my budget.
He already has a stack of books he claims to be “getting a start on”
Mom deals with decor. Nothing like that would be of interest.
No work gear and he has a company car. GPS, cell phone and accessories are redundant.
Travels so much for work, he doesn’t care to go for pleasure. Travel items – luggage, travel pillows, etc. would never be used.
He’s practical.
We have a huge inground pool. Mom buys the fun stuff, and additional public come to clean.
We have a game room – likes billards and darts – new balls, cues, chalk-holder even. Table was recently recovered and whole dartboard set-up is new.
Has an outdoor firepit – had two, gave me one- He already have me his ancient patio furniture that was from this summer, he didn’t like it.
He has all the music he cares for, I’ve tried to buy him some and he any already had it or didn’t care b /c he has satellite radio.
Would not be caught dead at a concert.
Does his own lawn, oddly enough. He has all the needs, like mower, leaf blower, weed eater, pesticides…

ANY additional thoughts? In reality he’s fun but honestly has all the necessities. Therefore, I need a unique gift that isn’t generic – but must be practical too. He’s not a fan of “gifting for the sake of gifting.” Also, not religious.
I reckon all of you have agreed me some fantastic thoughts! Not sure which I’ll pick, but I’ll def check out some of the websites you all recommended. He likes nice wallets, and his are always getting worn out. As for the classic car stuff, I just have no thought where to start – he’s not the type for “novelty” items like keychains and such, but maybe I may maybe get out of him if he’d like a new gear stick or seat covers – his car is terrible-a and I get it ultimately!
The utopia beer from Sam Adams is a fantastic thought (I worked at a liquor store all through college and we had the really clean looking metal bottle) for the connoisseur, but my dad likes bud and bud only…

Anyways, thanks for all the thoughts – you have helped immensely!

Still, any additional novel thoughts are still welcome !!!

My husband is very hard to buy for too. Last year one of the things I bought my husband was a bottle of Utopia Beer from Samuel Adams. There are additional brands too, that are “gourmet type beer” What about photographic gear?

One unique thought for a Christmas gift is a personalized Photo Collage Jigsaw Puzzle. This can bring collectively all his favorite things into one composite photo collage layout and the enjoyment of solving the puzzle.

A Photo Collage is simple to order. Just send the guys at jigsaw2order.com a collection of his favorite photos such as pictures of family and friends, special events and fun vacation photos. You can also specify additional themes such as favorite colors, movies, song lyrics or anything else he is passionate about. 10-20 photos usually works best. Based on your photos and input, let the professional designers at jigsaw2order.com make a unique photo collage layout for your approval before making it into a quality Jigsaw Puzzle. Don’t worry, you get a chance to review and approve the photo collage design before they make a puzzle. Once completed, it can be framed and place on the wall as a fantastic keepsake.

my dad is hard as well, if he has a sense of humor get him something pun…my dad is artistic and like the shows south park and ncis so i am making him a south park meets ncis art piece and framing it…

if you an your dad are close you may maybe get him a photo of you two in a really nice frame, or a pic of your mom and him in a frame…if he’s not a sentimental guy you may maybe get him a nice cigar cutter with his initials engraved or new mahogany type box to keep them in…

if he drinks coffee, get him a mug with pictures on it…

if you can’t reckon of anything else go to this website : http://www.gifts.com/ you can shop by occasion, age, the type of person he is, what he’s into, etc.

and you don’t really have to buy from that website, but it’ll give you a general thought…

I am a minor.
This woman I do not know called my car insurance company because we told her we would pay out of pocket for her car but apparently she doesn’t judge my father. She won’t get her car fixed because we won’t pay her up front. We are not charitable her money. We will pay the body shop no conundrum.

Basically last night she called my insurance and told them MY name and MY cell phone number not my father after my father particularly told her that I am not 18 yet therefore he will speak to her because he is paying for the car. She had the insurance company call me.

I want to know whether or not she is allowed to give them my name and my number even though my dad is the insurance policy holder and I am not. I also particularly told her to call my dad. I want to just know if this is legal. Thank you.
hi guys you dont know anything about the accident. i just want to know about this person charitable out my number. she had my number because i hit her soon (my peer) his car. he had my number and gave it to her. we didnt go through insurance because we just can pay out of pocket. we told her we were going to pay. never did we tell her we wouldn’t. her calling the insurance company is b shizz. she didnt even have them call my dad

also i did not give her my number or my insurance information. at all.

Answer by Outcast
They shouldn’t be charitable out your phone number if they know you’re a minor. If you made sure and told them that you were, they shouldn’t. Otherwise, you might be at fault.

Answer by Roy
I reckon its legal..
Couldn’t be too sure but it just doesn’t seem like the sort of business that would be illegal

Answer by kaitlyn c
Its legal. You gave her your number, and the number of your insurance company, so she is allowed to use that information. You should have your dad restore any calls that she makes to you, and also let your insurance company know that they should call your dads phone number, just in case anyone has a question that needs answered. Don’t answer when she calls you, that way, anything she says to you directly will be on voice mail.
