Struggled this year for the first time actually but ended up with some decent little bits considering I was on a budget. | |

My dad is easy to buy for. But then he's been dead for twenty odd years.. | |

Get some locally sourced presents. Support your local community. Everybody knows it's all about money, not thought | |

Dad will find some obscure POS that he wants, for example for fathers day he has decided he wants a remote control that straps to his steering wheel for his stereo :lol: | |

Another tactic which I've implemented with those who do the "don't worry about me" is to buy something knowingly for yourself, gift it to them, they don't really like it, eventually end up with it as your own. Works marvelously with alcohol if you discreetly choose something very specifically to your own taste. | |

My folks are the same, absolutely no hobbies or interests so I just end up just getting them a couple of bottles of wine and some fancy shortbread. We have a place called the food company near us and their wine specialist is top and makes really good recommendations. | |

I've tried that my dad always says "Oh don't worry about me" but we all know full well he'll be crying into his cornflakes if he gets nothing for his birthday. | |

I've given up completely; I just ask them what they would like as a small gift for birthday/xmas. | |

Does anyone else struggle when it comes to buying presents for their parents? |
