JanaBanana Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccas302 Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosegarden Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Not a problem at our house. We don't have any left. They have both passed on to better places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest all2tired Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest becca Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 How about a magazine subscription? My grandfather was the same way, I never knew what to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandy Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4less Posted November 4, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copados1993 Posted November 13, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
