I would probably find a print out keeping track of how many he does and track his progress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876470 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 07:47:57 +0000 lioneyes 2876470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a desk calendar from Artifact Uprising- one instagram (or other square) pic of the kids for every month. Took me like 15 mins to make on their site and it comes on a fancy metal base.<br /> My brother and fam did a photobook for my Dad's 70th which was a huge hit, and we are doing family pix with a photog as a gift to my ILs as a few ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876445 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 00:48:43 +0000 Corduroy 2876445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876262 Wed, 13 Mar 2019 08:07:26 +0000 RonjaL7 2876262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he like to tinker and make things? "Man crates" are kind of nice. I got my dad a make your own belt kit and my husband a make your own knife kit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876142 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 13:14:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2876142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SteelerGirl: right- we included my parents and all of their kids and grandkids. The scheduling was the hardest part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876129 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 12:39:46 +0000 SteelerGirl 2876129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is also sentimental. Similar to @foodnerd81 idea, we are gifting him a professional photography session. But we are including him in the photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876116 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:49:50 +0000 Mommy Finger 2876116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make a puzzle using a picture of his grandkids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876027 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:06:06 +0000 Chuckles 2876027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have or want DVDs anymore? There's that great documentary about Will Shortz and people who love crosswords, including a national competition. It's called Wordplay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876023 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:44:01 +0000 charlotte 2876023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see you have a 6 yr old per your profile! My 6 year old recently wrote my dad a letter about something they did together and that was his favorite thing we have ever given him. Sooo perhaps a letter or little story from the kids accompanied by a picture of them that he doesn’t already have and maybe a crossword book as well!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876022 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:33:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 2876022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: would he want a formal family picture- like get together with your siblings to have a pro photographer take a group photo on an agreed upon date? We did that for my parents last year. It was a lot of work getting everyone together but was a really nice gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876021 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:27:38 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2876021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would find a crossword puzzle book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876004 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:06:46 +0000 catgirl 2876004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The digital picture frame is a great idea - specifically one that you can email pictures directly to it! We gave one to my mom/stepdad and DH's mom/stepdad. Probably their favorite gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2876003 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 18:53:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2876003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a Nixplay photo frame? We bought one for my Dad and he loves it. You can upload pictures remotely so he’s always have up-to-date pictures of the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dads-birthday-no-idea-what-to-give#post-2875999 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 18:43:59 +0000 Corduroy 2875999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad's 70th is this weekend and my parents are coming for a visit. My dad is not excited about his birthday. His uncle passed this last year and he's now the oldest in his family. </p> <p>We're having a little party with my brother's family and then a non-birthday St. Patrick's Day brunch on Sunday with my dad's brother and sister. </p> <p>My dad is sentimental but he doesn't like stuff. I would think planning an extra trip would be nice but we're already getting together more than usual over the next few months for weddings and vacation. I suggested getting a sitter and having a grown-up meal in addition to the "party" with the kids but he shot that down.</p> <p>His interests are his grandkids, swimming, push-ups and crossword puzzles. Any ideas? </p>
