What are you getting your FIL???
I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what to get him. Neither does DH. They live in a VERY small town in West Texas and enjoy the slower paced life. I just really have no idea what to get him. He is a wonderful, thoughtful man (he's a psychologist) and I really want to get him something he'd like. Any ideas? Under $100 preferrably.
Re: What are you getting your FIL???
My FIL does alot of traveling and he is really into politics and history. We got him a "reinactment" on CD of the founding fathers putting the constitution together. I can't remember what it is called but its like 6 hours of audio. It will take him a while to get through it and he can listen to it while he travels.
aaaahhhh... I LOVE your signature pic!!!!
We have a Boston too and I just love the breed!!!
But anyways, I got my FIL a cigar case from www.redenvelope.com, he travels alot for his job and I know he smokes them with his business partners every now and then, and it's kind of like a travel case so the cigars don't get crushed or broken.
My Chart
That would be a great idea if he golfed (I might use it for DH though!)
He's a very simple man (he still types on a typewriter). He enjoys fixing their house and they like watching movies (we got them netflix last year). So I am just stumped. I might just get him a gift certificate to Sears and he can use it when they drive to the "big city". I just hate getting gift cards because it seems so impersonal, you know? I seriously am stressing. This and the fact that I have no idea what to get my own father..
I just ordered FIL a Penn State snuggie, corny, I know! They all usually snack all day on New Year's Day and watch all the bowl games so he can at least use it on that day.
Also got him a 16oz tea infuser travel mug. It's supposed to keep hot tea hot for hours and is spill proof. He usually goes everywhere with a mug of tea...just a regular mug and ends up spilling it somewhere.
We got FIL the first 2 seasons of Dinners Drive-ins and Dives, along with the books to go with the seasons.
One night he was talking about how much he would love to go to all of the places on the show, and How he wishes he could watch the shows again to make some of the meals on the show. And the book has some of the recipes in it.
I can't want to Christmas to see how much he likes the gifts.
