Spend some QT with him...priceless!
Make him a deck that's all about him...I'm being completely serious. It had a roadmap, a "voice of the customer" type slide, pictures of you and your family...it can help him finally understand what you do (kinda). I'd also get him a bottle of scotch if that's his thing. The deck thing is just something for him to laugh at.
Surprise him for his bday!
Hmm that's not a bad idea at all, EY1 - thanks. I'm in Cali and my parents have never been to Hawaii. I'll look into surprising them with an all expense paid trip there when they come visit.
Get him a nice safety razor with some good shaving cream, with a brush and shaving mug
D2, he's a C-level exec for one of the F500s. He complains about consultants enough haha and has seen enough decks. But I might steal that idea and out it in a different comm vehicle, in addition to the scotch as well as the shaving kit from KPMG1
Thanks D1, I'll look into that. EY1, we live a 15 hr plane ride away from each other. Each moment is a QT moment
Pwc1, I was going to do that, bought a ticket and all. Then mom called me yesterday and told me they were going to come visit me for the week of his birthday.
I'm big on buying my parents "experiences". Concert tickets, rounds of golf, tickets to see David Sedaris, etc.
Get him a subscription to a magazine or an activity or a club. Throw in some blu ray of old classic movies etc.
Point taken 😉 How about go on vacay or a stacay together? Send him a coupon for all expense paid trip with you. Did something similar for my in-laws and they loved it.
One of my partners got a deck for her birthday and loved it. Must admit, the SO did a great job!
Make him eat a blue pill and then take him to a strip club ;)
But if he takes the blue pill, won't he just wake up in the matrix?
Nevermind....just saw your update ^
Nice!
New Apple TV - awesome toy
Does your dad like cooking? Get him a gas / wood smoker for BBQ. My dad got one a few years ago and loves that thing. Otherwise get him something related to his hobbies that you could also get in on, like golf clubs. The best gifts are ones you can add to over time to promote the hobby and makes easy gift giving, cooking = new appliances and books, golf = new clubs or golf related trips, alcohol = distillery trips or nice bottles, cigars = cigars, humidors, etc.
