Dads 50th - What to get!?!

[NarChaDBaueR]

So it's my dads birthday soon[50th] and im stuck for ideas what to get him, me and my sister have already gone in together to get a plum tree because he's a bit of a keen gardener but that didn't really cost much at all. I've got about 60/70ish quid to spend, we thought of maybe getting a watch but for that sort of money its not going to be a really nice one and im not to sure if he'll even really wear it!

I thought of something to do with 'gardening' as he enjoys it but i just cant think of anything. His interests are pretty much, cricket/rugby/football/used to be a bit of a gym man but then quit recently and gardening. He's not really into adrenaline filled sort of stuff so cant really do an experience day.

So i neeeeeed helllllpppppp, any ideas?

Cheeeeeeeeers

An allotment?

Probably doesn't help but it's my dad's 50th next year, i'm thinking about making him a strat to replace the one that 'got stolen' (long story).

Get him tickets for the Chelsea Flower Show at the end of May. He can have a good day out.

If he's a keen gardener, then check his tools and buy him any that look like they need replacing, or anything that he is missing.

A hooker, a real good one

If you're not sure he would like or even wear a watch, I'd steer clear.

Get him something practical that you know will like, use and value.

check his tool

But seriously, I bought my dad a hot air balloon ride for his 50th

Or 10 average ones

my dad was born in 1956 so for his 50th birthday I managed to find a watch dating back to 1956.

for my dad's 60th we all chipped in and got him a day out driving some tanks

Sounds like a hoe would be more appropriate.

 

[meghatronic]

Stripper?

Or the Chelsea Flower Show tickets. Whatever.

.... and a pipe. No wait, he's not that old.

Teabag him. I hear that's what every 50 year old wants.

I think they prefer lemon parties.

Go to Focus & buy him a Spear & Jackson Fork, Spade & Rake, 10 year guarantee around 25-30 quid a piece. I've just got the 3 myself & they are superb tools.
Great to work with the stainless steel is light strong & the mud doesn't stick to it.
