Christmas Presents for dad

[Pie-n-Peys]

Looking for some ideas and inspiration.

My dad is 65 and quite difficult to buy for. Im sure other people are in the same boat when it comes to christmas. So i thought without going in to too many details of their hobbies and past times, we could all put ideas a presents weve bought in here and let people take some ideas and inspiration.

Usually ive gone for the usual books, new work flask, bits for the car (porsche boxter, but theyre not really in to modifying it so quite difficult to think of related gifts), and thats all he really asks for.

I did see this book which is a very curious thing and not something id heard of until earlier this week.

Trainset or lego. Get him something to play with.

For around £200 a butchery class at the Ginger Pig is a great night out. You get to learn how to cut and prepare meat while they cook some. Wine is served as part of it and after the lesson you get to feast on a lot of food (the meat plus dauphinoise potatoes and veg etc). You also get to take the meat you prepared home. I went on the beef course with a mate.

A few drinks in Marylebone en route and a couple of hours learning how to trim and chine a fore-rib. Brilliant night out and about 2.5Kg of cow to take home (each). Not everyone drinks wine, but a couple were happy to pass us theirs.

You're adults with your own money, why buy gifts?

Take him out for the day, if he's into cars a day at the track.

I’m taking my dad up to the national railway museum have a spot of lunch and if he’s good, a treat from the gift shop. Did a made up a ‘voucher’ to put in the card.

I am a late 50s dad - I asked for a Drone - specifically a DJI NEO2... we will see in a couple of weeks how well they listened to the brief!!

Flying experience in a Tiger Moth at Duxford, I had one and its a brilliant day out, can go round the museum as well afterwards.

My dad seems to be impossible to buy for so have got tickets to the theatre. I'm willing to sit through that if he enjoys it. Other option was a flight simulation.

Goodwood Revival tickets this year for my Dad.

My dad stopped buying us gifts because we have our own children now so don’t need presents.
He gets a gift card as I can’t be bothered putting any more effort in than that.
