What to buy dad for 60th

Xcellor

He is the most impossible person to buy a present for..

He has no hobbies doesn't like sport... Doesn't wear aftershave....He also has two dodgy knees so anything which requires activity is out of the picture too!

His birthday is this Friday.

I need suggestions please!!

It really is the perfect gift for everyone.

Every mantelpiece should have one.

If he's not technology inclined, would be nice gifting him a tablet and getting him on the internet. I've done the same with my dad who's in his 50's a few months ago, and he can't let go of his iPad. The general notion of computers frighten older people, but tablets are an enjoyable and easy medium to access the internet.

I might be completely backwards on this, but that's usually the case.

I always buy my Dad green diesel for his tractor. Does your Dad have a tractor OP?

OK now this is a proper idea. Thanks.

Could I buy an expensive bottle of whiskey in the likes of obriens? He does drink an occasional whiskey. I can't stand the stuff but himself and my older bro will have a good go at it...

Unfortunately my mother would not be too impressed with this. But this is arguably a great suggestion. If only we lived in a more liberal society...

The problem is the little exercise he does comes from sitting on that lawn mower and I think he actually enjoys it!

So expensive bottle of whisky seems to be the leading contender...

No experience with whisky, he's scottish so will want a scotch I guess. Any recommendations? Budget 150 euro mark?

Some sort of 12 year single malt will do the trick (and will go nicely with the hooker)

Don't get them confused in any way

Slightly over budget and not Scotch - but if anything will turn him to the Irish stuff - this is your boyo

+1 to the thread theme...

A nice bottle of 18 year aged single malt whisky.

and a nice 20 year old hooker.
Maybe even get him two, so that he can live out that threesome fantasy that he never quite got around to in his twenties.


Every man wants these things for their birthday!

I agree with the Tablet suggestion. My dad who is 67 and can't even send a text message got a tablet from my mum in October for their wedding anniversary. We gave him a few quick lessons, downloaded a few apps including sky sports, Netflix and one for watching football streams and he is obsessed with it. He spends a lot of time in Florida but is able to keep up to date on his beloved Monaghan GAA and Liverpool .

He would be lost without it now. Watches movies on flights and at airports and emails from it now when he never was able to turn a computer on.

Whiskey will be gone after a few drinks but technology will enhance his life for years to come.

Buy a couple of nights away for both parents. Some good deals out there.

If someone handed me a bottle of booze for a milestone birthday, I'd bate 'em with it. But then again, I'm not a man.

Celtic tiger invention that. People used to have a 21st. Now every time another decade rolls around they expect something on par with a wedding.

It should be 21(congratulations, key of the door) and 80 (congratulations for not being dead yet, next day out you'll be in a box)

For 150 euro the OP could give his parents a weekend break. Nothing wrong with that. Making memories is what it's all about.

Ya, I'll be 50 this year and by jesus it is a milestone, so forgive me if I want to celebrate it.:)

it seems to have gotten some good reviews:

Bought as a Christmas present for my farther and after drinking it he gained new powers, what powers I'm sure your asking yourself! Well his strength more than doubled and he could shoot friking laser beams out of nostrils! Pretty cool stuff

I bought my Gran a tablet, like other posters have said, she took to it like a duck to water and sends me lolcats via email on a daily basis, alongside gossip about the family. She uses it for the Kindle app, Netflix, email, photos, audio books from Audible, playing music and following knitting patterns and recipes. She gets loads of use out of it, and she's in her 80's.

She never used a computer in her life before she got her hands on the tablet, and she tells me she wants another for back up because she'd be so lost without it now.

I know exactly what you mean, I've got the same predicament this year so he's getting an expensive bottle of booze. Hardly original but at least he'll enjoy it.
