men i find them so hard to buy for other than the easy option of a voucher but what are you all buying your dads, fil, grandfathers, partners etc.

We got dad a new CD player for his car and a Yahtzee game hehe
OK, for my Dad I normally get some nice whiskey or wine at the moment a lot of bottle shops have Chrissie specials where you can get two glasses and wine in a package. Also the latest crime novel, this year it's the latest Ian Rankin, I always buy my books at K-Mart or Target.

for dad this year being extremely sick and possibly not making christmas, i have framed my song to dad "wind beneath my wings" as he is my hero and the greatest support person i can have in my life. as well as that im hoping his first grandson will be born to make him a very proud grandfather before he passes away.

My dad is so hard to buy for. I usually get him scorched almonds in a nice tin or one of those jumbo sized toblerone bars. Im not cheap by the way. Just dont know what else to get a man who has everything. Actually, this year I might get him some cool BBQ utensils for his new BBQ.

This year I am getting my dad (Gramps to DD) a mouse pad with his fave photo of her on it. She is wearing a bib with Gramps stitched into it that we got him for fathers day in the photo!
They cost $20 at Harvey norman and take 21 days to come back once you have placed an order. They also do things like t-shirts, mugs, jig-saw puzzles etc

I got my dad a voucher for a remedial massage 1 hr. He is always suffering aches and pains. He is builder and works like an ox at age 57. Bit of pampering doesn't go astray he loves the odd massage. Got mum one too for a joint day out.
