Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

Check Sur La Table - they should have great gift ideas, and at the very least he’ll know you are trying to choose something high quality for him.

Will do thank you so much!

Nice liquor/wine or fancy coffee/tea. Something that says you know and respect his tastes, but that you see him as an approachable guy that you could have a drink with.

like

Love this idea, he is a huge wine guy and I do know his tastes so this could be an amazing option, thank you!

What is GF here? Your girlfriends dad, or you’re dating a gluten free dad?

Girlfriends dad hahah

Maybe go the sentimental route instead. You could get him a nice picture frame with different family photos (try to find one with you in it). Something like the attached-- but whatever fits his style.

Oh that’s amazing, he loves wine so this is a great option! Thank you!

Maybe a home beer brewing kit?

Oh that’s a great gift idea especially with all the time he is at home due to medical issues, may have to give this a go, I appreciate it!

If you don’t know what someone wants, just ask them what they’d like or don’t get them anything. Crowd sourcing from strangers for generic gifts doesn’t usually lead to the receiver getting something useful for them.

like

That’s a great point, I know if I were to ask he would say he doesn’t need anything, but wanted to get something just to show appreciation!

Maybe a cooking tool. You can get good deals on stuff right now. I got my dad an automatic pepper grinder to add to his bbq tools. Maybe a book or something techy if he’s spending a lot of time indoors bc of the medical stuff

That’s a great idea, some more unique kitchen stuff that can be improved! I appreciate it!

Maybe tickets to see a concert or sport

Does he have a mini putting green or a golf sim? Got one for my dad after his med scare and yeah he was obsessed

I always do a joint gift for in laws bc of this exact issue. Very easy to find a gift for his mom, SO tough w his dad. Maybe a consideration for next year!

I generally stick to something small but considerate, like large beautiful poinsettia for their house, savory or sweet treats, a momento from recent travels, etc. Hope this helps!
