Retirement gift ideas

My dad is retiring this week and I can't come up with any great ideas.  I'm looking for suggestions.  A little description of him is that he has been a machinist his whole career, enjoys hunting and fishing, and messing around in the garage building things.  He has all the hunting, fishing, and tools he'll ever need.  He's also a sentimental kind of guy too.

Any great ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks. 

Anniversary

Re: Retirement gift ideas

  • Is there something he wanted to do/take you kids to but didn't have the time since he was working?  (Sports game, theater, etc).  You could buy tickets for a family night out, find a picture of you playing catch/in school play, etc and then take a new picture of the similar event.

    Then he gets a great night with the family and a memorial photo of then and now.

  • A bottle of nice wine and a gift certificate to a fun restaurant? 
  • Sorry I should have mentioned that he lives in a rural area of MI, and he isn't into sports.
