Male presents are the worst presents to buy... even worse when they mean something to you! Today is my dad's birthday and like every other year, I always fail to think of a fabulous enough present for him. And like every year, I treat him to lunch / dinner instead...
When i was younger, I once bought him some soundtracks to the "Rocky" movies. *lol*. Needless to say, they were never used or listened to. One year I bought him a Parker pen, but given that I always lost pens, that Parker pen became mine. Another year I bought him a coffee maker machine.. This seemed like such a fabulous idea at the time, but given that he's the only one that drinks coffee in my house, a machine that keeps 8 cups of coffee on hold was actually a terrible idea. He asked me to return the coffee machine :(
The only "successful" present i've ever managed to get him is the chinese tea set I got him for Father's day last year. It's used every day and works a treat when friends pop over for a visit.
So... barring hankies, ties, wallets and shirts, there seems to be no hope when purchasing for dads..
