| Parents and in-laws are both getting one of those electronic picture frames loaded up with every possible picture I can put on there...those things are so cheap now...and it's something that's personal that they will use every day. |

This may be too much of a pain to ship. Don't know if it's almost too stereotypical for your dad.

Thanks but he has one like this already.
I just thought of something : a gift voucher for a facial.
My dad is 77 and started using anti-wrinkle cream like 2 years ago and swears by it !!! LOL |

| Dads are tough because when Dad wants something, Dad usually goes out and buys it himself right then. By the time you're 77 you're pretty much set. Restaurant gift certificate? Gotta eat. Gloves? Sweater? Roller blades? (just kidding). |

I have no idea what to get my dad for Christmas.
I think I'll buy a Henry James book for my mom... my dad is tough. He NEVER likes what I or my brothers give him (or anyone else for that matter)... it has been like that for 21 years. Seriously, in all these years I think he probably liked around 4 presents I gave him. If I ask him what he wants, he'll probably say "nothing"... |
