need ideas for a pressie for the old man

Zaphan58 · 26 Oct 2007 at 20:28

Well my dad did something really nice for me this last week and since I just got paid today I want to buy him a pressie to show I appreciate it.

Not really sure what to get but he does appreciate a good drop of whiskey and lately seems to have been getting into wine so maybe something along those lines if anyone can recommend something?

Of course this does not have to be something alcohol related so if you can think of anything else that would be great.

Um..okay, well what does your Dad like as i have no idea...

I got Dad whisky from http://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/ one year, they do some good stuff on there. (Well, I'm told it's good, I'm not enough of a man to drink whisky

)

How much you looking to spend?

Maybe around the £50 mark, will pay a little more if I think it's worth it.

Edit: So what else does he like?

Zaphan58 · 26 Oct 2007 at 21:05

I really don't know what else, something in general Dadness I guess.

I'd say he likes things most Dad's do, discovery channel, cars and probably hot ass if he wasn't married to my mum.

NeedleGunner · 26 Oct 2007 at 21:08

Well I'm a dad, I like motorhead, beer, ciggies and computers

Sorry, does he like music? Football (maybe rugby in leeds?)

Seriously, if your dad has done something nice for you he'll not want anything back.

Just take him for a few beers, get him drunk and he might give you something else, you can't fail

I know if it was me I'd me quite happy to spend some time with my son having a jar and a chat. Just so that I know he cares

As an old man

I loved it when my daughter took me out. Best prezzie ever.

Budget?

Glenlivet:
12 Yrs
15 Yrs French Oak Reserve
25 Yrs Ultra Premium (XXV)

accordingly depending on budget (18yr is rubbish).

I have to agree. Take your old man out for a few pints, he will enjoy it far more than any bottle of Whiskey.

a bottle of Balvenie Double Wood - one of the best value for money whisky's you'll get!! bloody fantastic stuff (around 30-35 quid dude)
