Birthday is a great occasion to please a loved one. But the problem of choosing a gift has always existed. Now it is especially aggravated due to the fact that anyone can buy almost everything. But if desired, an original gift can be found for any person, including a representative of the older generation.
Collector's Gift
If your dad has a strong crush, this will make finding a gift much easier. Maybe he collects something, cannot live without hunting or fishing, constantly equips something in the country? If he's an avid collector, try to tactfully figure out what item is missing from his collection. It is better to do this in advance, the object may turn out to be such that everyone will have to collect money for it together. But it is possible that you can buy something so desirable for a collector yourself. If you are not very well versed in your father's hobby, you can give him something related to the collection - albums for stamps or postcards, for example.
Tools and technology
A set of tools can be an excellent gift for someone who is constantly landscaping a dacha or fiddling with a car. Choose a good set of quality materials. Better if it comes from a reputable manufacturer. Such a gift to a true master will be remembered for a long time. You can also choose a universal gift. Modern technology will suit both an avid angler, a motorist, and a person who seems to be not seriously interested in anything. A tablet, a good mobile phone with Internet access, a camera, a camcorder, a book reader, a photo frame - there are many options. The choice depends on what modern technology your dad has already mastered. If he's just getting started with modern technology, start with something simple. A camera or book reader is suitable. An advanced user can give something more impressive - the latest tablet model, for example.
Travel - why not?
You can give your dad an interesting trip. Choose a reliable tour operator, buy a package for two. Where exactly depends on how old dad is, whether he likes a quiet rest or prefers to change places during the holidays. Even with very limited funds, you can find a suitable tour to interesting places in Russia or send your parents to Belarus for a month, especially since your dad has all the documents necessary for such a trip.
Universal Gifts and Don'ts
A traditional gift for a man is good alcohol. It is desirable that it be really rare, one that you will not find on the shelves of hypermarkets. However, both good tea and a rare variety of coffee will do. It is not worth giving clothes for a birthday. For this, you can choose another case. But if you knit well and have time to knit a beautiful sweater by your birthday, it will be a wonderful gift, especially since hand-made things are now in great fashion.
