    Jesus, 68 with no interests only work :(

    How about a good weather station that feeds data straight to his laptop, streams it online for him to view ??

    think he's a lost cause tbh

    he's old school , use to just want a phone for the red and green button nothing else

    usually get him trainers and a tshirt but he must have a wardrobe full of that crap now

    even just some gadget that might be funny

    i got him an inflatable zimmer frame and cane ( just for a laugh ) but want to get him an actual present

    How about an amazon echo or echo dot?

    How about a telescope you can plug into the laptop?

    Might be a nice techy thing for him to tinker around with and get him into a new hobby.

    Yeah I've a non drinker/ non smoker too with no handy hobbies like Golf or football and a wardrobe full of gifts. I go with magizine subscriptions sometimes (maybe there is a PC mag he reads regularily or an online paper subscription ?)

    What about some ties or even a tie rack? Let me guess. He does not wear ties?

    I got my Dad an electrical tie rack one year as he has hundreds of ties. So handy just presses the button it goes rounds and he stops it when it comes to a tie he feels like wearing lol.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Book a meal out somewhere for just the two of ye, regardless of how little interests he has, he surely has to eat.

    time spent together is worth more than some useless nicknack that'll likely end up sitting in the back of a cupboard somewhere.
