- The complete DVD season of FIREFLY!!! Cashmere sweater, shearling slippers, gorgeous wallet, certificate for dinner at his favorite restaurant, something you made, a photo of you and him in an elegant frame... Enroll him in Ale in the mail (www.aleinthemail.com) etc. and so forth. Sweet camping equipment, a rare book, something he's been looking for... Get him something you'd like to receive.
- This year we got my dad a Challenger II airplane. It's a little twoseater. Heh, I don't think its possible to wrap it though. Usually we get my dad a watch or new shoes for xmas. He hates gifts!
- I like to get my dad the Lieny lodge by linenkugal... but then again he loves beer.. He also loves getting jammie pants to lounge around the house in.. Just ideas..
- a fish tank
- you can buy him some tools and here is a best gift you can give to your dad is a trip to anywhere he wanna go
- dads do not unwrap presents, they just tare the paper apart, so get him a cat
- I'm thinking of getting my dad the newest Seinfeld DVD and an iPod Nano with the arm band thing.
- Get him tools. Bunning sells different kind of tools.
- New Wallet Monogrammed Fleece blanket to use on his lounger group pictures of the kids/grandkids in a nice frame Shiny tool Box with nice tools fancy shmancy alarm clock martini shaker and glasses Coffee grinder and 5 pounds of coffee beans Omaha Steaks New Watch
- It really depends what your dad likes. I like getting my dad things he will actually use. Like, once for no reason, I got him a bucket with a beer mug, pilsner, and a shot glass, and salt, and lemons. My dad doesn't drink much, but he uses it everytime we have a bbq or event at home. I once got him a nut cracker set because he loves nuts. He loves to grill, so once I got him a corn on the cob set with a grill set. So, really depends on your dad's hobbies. If your dad has a hobby, look into how you can use his hobby to get him a cool present that he will enjoy.
- A fishing pole. A good book (Beau Geste, by Christopher Wren). A T-shirt that has something funny on it... It's kind of hard when we don't know what your dad is like. But I hope that you find something unique and special for him! Good luck!

- There are many things you can get him. It all depends on what he's like. Does he own a lot of gadgets? Then get accessories for hit like iPods w/ stereos or add-ons to cars and such. If he's looking for useful things, then check out Sharper Image for ideas.
- i usually get my dad a tie, since he wears one everyday. although that seinfeld dvd sounds like a good idea.
- cap of favorite team nice gloves silly house slipper pj's model car of his favorite car electric razor board game Checker and play with him Chess if you can hang T-shirt from a place he likes to hang or wants to go just some of the many things that are out there also there is the coupon book that you make up with little things he can pull out for you to do like wash and wax his car or just talk? ya know what to put in it (clean the garage) but when he gives you the coupon you have to do it or it makes the gift totally worthless
- Cologne or gift set
- Here's something unique and bizarre that might give you that priceless expression on his face.A rare wall lamp with a sexy leg to go under.Its cheap as well. I think its from the movie `A Christmas Story' if Ive not mistaken.
- I just thought of this idea last night for my dad. My dad doesn't want anything unless it's from me or my brother. How about you and your siblings go take an old western photo or something just as novel? (Or take your siblings and just get a classic family picture of just the "kids") You can dress up as a cowboy/cowgirl/saloon person/victorian style, whatever. They're fun! And the costumes go OVER your street clothes. Nobody will EVER get him anything like it.
- My father loves popcorn so this year I got him A Kettle popcorn machine. This way he can make movie style popcorn when ever he wants. It takes the same time it would take to microwave some and tastes way better. It also looks decorative so it wont bother my mom. I just googled unique gifts and found something for everyone this year. I don't know what your father likes so I can't really give any ideas but just look on the Internet and get some ideas.
- you could get your dad any kind of game system games such as playstation 2/3 or xbox...get him some new stuff for car like floor mats...sweat pants...get a stocking and fill it up with little tools...get episodes of his favorite television show like csi....a back massager since dads are always complaining about how there backs hurt..a homemade gift...his favorite food...or maybe just a whole bunch of random stuff
- with a big box
