FIL Holiday Gift

I need ideas!?!?

We are exchanging with DH's family mid November so I need to get moving.  He is the only one I have NO IDEA what to get.

My in-laws live in a very LCOL area so big flashy things aren't good.  He is pretty simple and probably will like anything, but I hate just buying something to buy something.  Help!

Re: FIL Holiday Gift

  • what are his likes, interests, hobbies?
  • Is he handy? I know this doesn't sound like a gift, but my dad thinks the best gift is a big bucket from a home improvement store filled with all the little things they keep at the checkout: batteries, duct tape, super kinds of glue, carpenter pencils, flashlights/multi-tools/gadgets - it's usually stuff that he uses a lot and gets used up.

  • He likes fishing and going to Walmart.

    He likes the outdoors and pretty simple things.

    I got him a walmart GC last year, but I don't want to repeat again.

    He likes fishing.

     

    Is there a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop near you?  I would go there and talk to someone in the fishing section.

  • What about a small tackle box with lots of worms and anchors and fishing line.  I did that for my dad one year and he loved it.

  • i'm not sure where in nj you are, but there's a cabela's in hamburg, pa (think that's the city, it's on 78). you could get him a gift card for there and he could take a day trip! could always put it in a gift bag w/ some fishing supplies (line, lures, etc.)
  • What's your price range?

    Saltwater or Freshwater fishing?

    My dad's a fisherman, so I'm a pro at fishing gifts. 

     

    Get him a hand held fish weighing scale.

    I got my dad one last year and he loved it.
