Fathers Day Gift?

I have a dad that is impossible to buy for. He is in to computer games and enjoys bowling, but he seems to have everything he wants. I wanna do something original, any ideas?

What about making him something?

Like having a Father's Day BBQ with his favourite meat products.

I am getting my Dad a gift certificate for a great day of Golf at his favorite place to go!

Plus I will probably take him out to dinner.

You could offer to murder someone for him at half your normal fee.

Speaking as a father (of many I might add) it's not so much the gift as the attention. Whatever you decide- spend some time with him.

Sierra, can I adopt you????

The best gift you can give to your father is your attention. My father passed away many years ago and I still miss him dearly. I always regret that we didn't spend much time together in his last years. I know how much it meant to him to spend time with me.

My own kids are grown with children of their own. I don't expect them to spend a lot of money on me, but the phone call or drop in for a visit is priceless.

Never having a relationship with my father, he left when I was 5, Fathers Day has never been much of a problem for me. But the attention surrounding the holiday kinda depressed me. So it seems whatever you give, it will be more than enough, be thankful you have a father to give it to. I would trade that for anything.

ok as much as I agree with the whole attention thing and spending time with your pops, I always feel guilty if I don't get him anything...
Does your dad drink at all? I mean Like beers? I found this super cool thing, It's a home brewery thing... and it's only like $30. I can't get it this year for my dad because of some medication he's on...
I was also thinking a massager type thing... foot, neck, etc.

You will have all of that and more, very soon.
