Christmas present for Dad

Ok, usually by now I have an idea what I want to get him for Christmas, but nothing has really popped out at me. Last year I got him some stuff for his Bronco, and some tools. Only idea I have this year are some Blu-Ray's.

What are you all getting Dad? Maybe I can get some ideas.

He has been wanting one for years, just hasn't ever actually bought one. It wont hold all of them but it will hold the most valuable ones.

My dad is an interesting fellow. He is always flashing gang signs and trying to be like me and my brothers and friends and he pulls it off better than some of my friends. But he always says "give me some sugar, I am your neighbor" from the outkast song, so i decided to take a pic of him being the chiller he is and putting it on a T shirt with the "give me some sugar i am your neighbor" saying above the pic.

I always think good presents are the kind that you can keep for a while or when you see it you are reminded person who gave it to you; like a T shirt. And its cheap!!

I like giving tix to events or concerts. If he likes a sports team, get him some good seats for a game he would like.
If he is into music, find out if a group/performer he likes is coming to town. Even if the event is several months away, you can still give him the tix on Xmas morning.
If you want to go all out, attach a gift card for the nearby restaurant or maybe a hotel if he needs to travel to use the tix.
We all have enough t-shirts and socks, make some memories.
Good luck in your 'quest'.

You can really 'pimp' this out for him; Custom Wheels, Flame Paint, killer stereo, Chrome Stacks, insane lighting, polished fuel tanks and steps, massive horns, etc. etc.

This could keep you going for years...

You should spend it all on Circuit City gift cards!
