Need some help on this one. My dad is turning 58 in a couple weeks and I am having a hard time finding a gift. He is very wealthy so its kind of the situation where you have to ask ‘what do you get a guy that has everything’.
He loves like tech things and hinted he wants something ‘techy’ but doesn’t really have any one thing in mind when he says it. I also know if I go over the 200 mark in price he will be more upset than happy. Any suggestions? Was thinking one of those fit bit bracelets would be perfect but of course a day or so back Amazon Primes beats me to it so I am stuck here.
Christ…get him a pepperidge farm summer sausage…been doing this for my dad for b-day and xmas for 20 years and it always makes him happy…and don’t buy him a card…pisses my old man off to see someone spend 3 bucks on an effing card…don’t even wrap the effin’ sausage…just give it to him and say something nice like, “I was just thinking the other day about when you took me fishing down at that place near Hyattsville and we caught all that perch.” and then ask him some dopey question like “Where was that stream again?” Then he can talk for 5 minutes and you had like a real conversation and all is good until the next year.

He has 3 tablets… thats kind of the problem.
He likes scuba diving, has the most expensive dive watch and gear in the market.
Likes working out, built his own custom home gym that i’d use over my commercial gym.
Likes cars, Drives a 911 Carera S, has an entire detail kit and even an expensive towel dryer(yup…) for his special micro fiber towels.
Miami Heat fan, has just about everyone’s autograph already…
etc etc etc. If they guy was a super hero his name would be the Redundant Ranger or Captain Contingency plan. Even with his dive computer, he has like 2 back ups.

Google chromecast? Idk bro all I know is I’ve been seeing that shit a lot in the headlines lately. [/quote]
It’s $35 and a pretty nice piece of tech that was just released, so there’s a good chance he doesn’t have it. Pair it with a google play/apple store (which ever camp he rides with) giftcard. That may make for a decent gift and would be easy to keep you under the two hundred mark.

FFS…if the masseuse isn’t willing to finish the job simply man up and stroke daddy into tremoring waves of bliss yourself while singing Happy Birthday really, really loud…

Take him to a place like Twin Peaks…get a picture of him using the toilet. Frame the picture and give it to him for Christmas. Kill two birds with one stone.
