    Christmas, Father's Day, and his birthday. What the hell do you get "the man that already has everything he wants" three times a year?

    I can't be the only one. I am flat ****ing OUT of ideas.

    He's got jackets and slippers and a robe. He's got a flashlight. A grill. He's got tools. He hunts and already owns one of everything. We gave him like the absolute nicest travel mug of all time, like I kinda hope it's part of my inheritance. Already got him a YETI. I gave him a pellet gun one year that was a smash hit.

    That's just the stuff me and mine gave him. My sister got him a freaking grill last year. Mom always gives him nice clothes and boots and stuff. He doesn't really wear jewelry or watches or anything. He doesn't do much technology.

    For Father's Day I just gave him a case of Budweiser. Like O - U - T of ideas. I can't just keep hitting him with cases of beer right?

    Just give him some money and tell him to get what he likes but holds back on. Or a case of beer.

    Food. He will either eat it or he won’t. And it will be out of the house in a week or so.

    My recommendation is a Bluetooth Meat thermometer.

    Plan a future day excursion or weekend trip to just hang out and make memories with him outdoors, when it's cooler out. Just give him the plans for his birthday.

    The best gifts are experiences.

    How about nothing or just a card? I'd just invite him over for lunch or dinner, give him a card and a hug and then be done. We don't have to keep giving each other things for no reason.

    A massage at The Houstonian

    For toys: you also didn’t say anything about him owning a drone.

    I’m the same way. I have everything I want. What I value as gifts are:
    • Handmade
    • Rare, very old or unique
    • Funny
    • A meal with good company
    It doesn’t have to be expensive or even cost anything.
