JanaBanana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 It seems like fathers/father inlaws are really hard to buy for Im tired of getting them "flannel lounge around the house pants", or a shirt. Neither of them have a hobby so thats not an option either. What are some things you might be purchasing you dad's/Fil's this year?
beccas302 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 My FIL is a huge American Choppers fan, so when WalMart had discounted their huge remote control choppers, we picked one up for $25 (they were going for 99). Also got him one of those Mr. Clean car wash sets (1.97 at target when they had them on clearance). We're also sending him a train ticket to come visit us since he refuses to fly... he and my MIL will be spending New Years with us!
rosegarden Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Not a problem at our house. We don't have any left. They have both passed on to better places.
Guest all2tired Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 My father is hard to buy for. My FIL, I learned early on not to buy him anything he won't like it. So every year I make him an Apple Cake. He then tells everybody to keep their hands off of the cake that it's his. He's serious too, nobody else can have any, it was his present.
elena_398 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 My father is the kind of man that HATES anyone to spend money on him. He usually complains I spent too much money and grumbles. But he never is unappreciative. I just get a lecture every christmas about no wasting money on him. LOL
Guest becca Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 How about a magazine subscription? My grandfather was the same way, I never knew what to get him.
TBA Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 yep my dad is hard to buy for. he won't tell you what he wants. he likes tools but he has so much of them don't want to buy more of them. so what to get him is always up in the air.
Kandy Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 my dad is also hard to buy for, actually tells me not too. I normally just get some hunting gloves or camo for him. Something he will use.
best4less Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 YES! My FIL is very hard to buy for. Every year I sit here and think of "the perfect gift" for him. I think I picked out something really great but then....he never uses it! I can't win lol.
copados1993 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 My Dad is no prob. Give him some fising stuff and he'll be happy forever!!! FIL is a different story. I really hve no idea what to do for him. I think whatever it is, it won't be good enough.
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 my dad, stepdad, fil, and grandfather are difficult to shop for.
