"You can never go wrong with tools. My dad is a nightmare to buy for, but tools are always appreciated. As a dad myself I’d love to get tools! I’m getting a titanium ring with my daughters name engraved this Year, nothing fancy but it’ll be super hard wearing. " That's a good shout actually. He left all his at my mum's when they divorced. His old metal toolkit with its 1001 rusty screws and old fuses was still in my mum's garage when I moved out  .
That ring sounds lovely | |||

The time we couldn't see each other in full lockdown was probably the longest we've ever gone and the first thing I did when we could meet 1 person outdoors again was go and meet up with him to walk his dog. I always do get him socks too but almost as a joke present as I'm not just getting him socks. I just feel like with both my parents that after all the years they have treated me and my brother that now I'm an adult and I can, I want to give back. He loves us always and it doesn't take away from us spending time together. It's just nice. | |||

"Im getting wireless ear phones" I bought my dad some last year for Father's Day. More for mum's benefit than his haha. My dad is at that age (nearly 82) where I buy him stuff that I want to inherit back in a few years 
I never get anything other than cards from my kids as they both live miles away, though my eldest did phone tonight with the news that her university emailed her to say they've accepted her thesis, the certificate is in the post (no graduation ceremony due to Covid) and she can now call herself Dr, so that's made me a proud old dad and the best present I could wish for. | |||

It's a very personal choice"Okay, you've made your point. My dad doesn't expect fancy things, nor did he raise me to expect to have to give them. Its just something I like doing. As you say its a personal thing. You might want to look at something called the languages of love. We all express love and feel love in different ways. I enjoy giving gifts. Even if its as small as randomly giving someone thier favourite chocolate bar. My dad knows I love him to bits and he's a great dad. I enjoy giving nice gifts to people I care about. It doesn't take away from any of the rest of it. | |||

Not sure about others but, I have enough socks, underwear, t-shirt, jumpers (as I haven't warn some those will be going to charity shops after sort out) mugs, aftershave, bath stuff, torches, tools.
Honestly I don't need anything, I would love a hug though. | |||

"As a 55 year old Dad who likes music and football - I feel qualified to answer and the honest one is that I wouldn't expect anything, but also appreciate that's not the one you're looking for... ...but I'd appreciate anything that has had some thought behind it and is personalised..also appreciate the difficulty of limited shopping opportunities currently. How about an IOU for gig tickets to a band of his choice that you'll go and see together when gigs start again? Memorabilia associated with his favourite band or football team? Wimbledon FC 1988 Cup Final programme perhaps? Any books available for his favourite bands? " They're great ideas thank you GM! I've got so many ideas now | |||

"You can’t go wrong with something music related but howsabout a framed photo montage of funny and cool photos of him or you all throughout the years to hang in his toilet? Sounds a but daft but id love that haha " One of my daughters did this a few years ago. Don't know how she managed to get hold of some of the really old pictures. But I look at it every day and it always brightens me up | |||

"Oooh! This was for my mum, but similar sort of thing. Think the sentiment not the item. Mum had a signature item of jewellery she wore every day. From before I was born until it broke, and couldn't be repaired, in my teens. She was devastated. For her last milestone birthday I hunted something down. It wasn't the same, that doesn't exist anymore. But it was really similar. I explained my memory of this piece of jewellery, and that I was trying to bring it back to her. She liked what I got. She was moved by the motivation behind it." That's really lovely! | |||

"So I'm at a total loss of what to get my dad after many years of father's days. I feel like I've done food and drink to death. He's moving house in a couple of months so I thought about maybe getting him something for that. I already got him a Pink Floyd print for a moving in present when he moved a couple of years ago so I don't want to do something like that again. Any ideas anyone? Give him a hug, make him a cup of tea, tell him that you love him and spend 30 minutes with him. I'd prefer that rather than a £1000 gift." I do that at least once a week normally when there isn't a pandemic. I've still been seeing him every week since its been allowed but outside. | |||

Anything he wants he gets himself . | |||
