Seriously, what *is* a good Father's Day gift?

[Lex]

No ties, or bongs, or dirty magazines. He'll have to pick those out himself.

1. A tree or shrub (ha!) in full bloom. nt

2. how about a gift card to...

the Bong,Tie and Porn Emporium?

[politicaholic]

4. LMAO!!!!!!!!

[MissB]

3. Whatever strikes his fancy.

People have different interests. Kinda hard to nail down the perfect gift, as it varies from person to person.

[Lex]

13. You are right, missb.

I will definitely put some thought into it.

I was hoping someone else would think of it for me. (LOL!)

5. Gift card to Radio Shack or

Barbecue set
Leather loafers with good arch support
Emergency kit for car

I always give giftcards to Barnes & Noble or Borders -- since everyone loves those stores, they can pick out their own gift, and those stores are very BLUE!

[Lex]

15. Radio Shack!

Hmmm . . . sounds like a possibility!

[kath]

18. BTW, Barnes and Noble is VERY blue, Borders is not -- see Buyblue.org

6. If you are close by, the best gift you can give is your time.

Otherwise, a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant or book store is nice.

14. Nice thought, Jimmy

I'm taking my dad to a Swing/ Big Band concert. The show isn't until next month but it doesn't matter. It is what he loves and I love him.

[Lex]

16. Awww . . . sweet.

I'm going to spend the whole weekend with him down at the beach and we'll cook out together and talk and laugh. He's a good guy and a DEM.

[JimmyJazz]

17. Well then, that and a card ought to cover it.

Seriously. :)

[matcom]

7. strippers

Lesbian strippers

[politicaholic]

8. Anything BBQ related such as a whole cow...

or possibly an assortment of sauces.

[RPM]

9. a new toilet

installed.

By buddy's dad thought it the greatest gift ever.

Really.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

12. I believe it

My husband once enclosed a back porch for my Dad, put down tile, put up walls, shelves, bought furniture, installed lighting - all in two days - and that was about the best thing he could have done for my Dad, who had always wanted to work on something like that amd who was absolutely out of his mind with joy as my husband took him along on every part of the project.

It's the personal touch, yeah.

[silverweb]

10. Depends on the person.

My dad, adore him as I might, can't remember how old he is, let alone how long he's been retired or how many grandchildren he's got. I send cute, funny cards and maybe flowers, if the budget allows.

I love him just the same, even though he won't remember that I just told him so.

[Redstone]

11. Bottle of whiskey and a carton of cigarettes.

It's traditional.

[HEyHEY]

22. Dad?

[kodi]

19. a well lived life

a dad wants nothing more than to see that his work bore fruit.

[orleans]

20. a great coffee mug?

tools?

"action movies" (with car chases, explosions, sultry women)

make him breakfast for a week

if you live with him tell him he can pick the tv show and you'll watch it together
