He's almost 72 but active, still building sheds and ponds etc. I just don't know what to get him. Ideas please. Preferably with sites that take paypal.

Thanks

Kate :kisshands:

I always buy my Dad some nice meals from Cook. He is an awkward person to buy for but loves the meals and he keeps them in the freezer. He even shares them with my Mum! I get them delivered about 14 days after Christmas so the backlog of festive food has gone. I give him a list of what I have bought him on Christmas Day.

Thanks everyone. Still not sure, being retired now he doens't really wear enough shirts to warrant another pair of cufflinks, Mum, and Dad are both Artistsy types and very much sweater and jeans people. The food sounds good to me but they are both into cooking from scratch and I even get frowns when they are here and I pull out a bag of frozen chips.

I'm going to the garden centre to day to get a Christmas tree so will have a look there but I always seem to buy something from the garden centre.
