Ideas For A Birthday Present?

[flks511]

My dad is turning fifty years old soon, and I'm not sure of anything to get him for his birthday. Any suggestions you guys have would be helpful. Some of his hobbies include golf, watching old Seinfeld reruns, and the Arizona sports teams (like the D-Backs, the Suns, etc.). He's a pretty busy guy, so he's running errands a lot, and he's a diabetic (if anyone has a diabetes-specific gift they'd like to recommend?). My budget is just to keep it under maybe a hundred dollars, and that's about it. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them, because I'm completely lost on this one.

coffin

haha alright. i was expecting more than one post and definitely for the first one to not be coffin. anyway, do you play music? if so write him songs. i did this for my dad and he loved it. also, if you don't i would stick to more of something he'd enjoy that didn't remind him he had diabetes.

Socks, you can never have too many of them

Socks, you can never have too many of them
i lol'd. it's true though.

There's this Worst Case Scenario book that they sell at target. It's like, 20 bucks and it's really funny and original i think. I would love that for a birthday present.

I don't know if this was meant to be humorous, but it might be the funniest thing I've read on AP.net in a long, long time.

[PlacesToGo]

vinyl player and his old favorite records.

[aamberlynn]

Golf clubs.
For under $100? Put-put clubs maybe. Haha
Golf balls?



You could get him some kind of clothing item from his favorite sports team i.e. a hoodie. Dad's like hoodies, right?

[emoishardcore]

Bj.

[SouthernCross40]

Get him an actual diamondback rattlesnake. Just tape a happy birthday note to it and leave it in his car seat so he'll find your present when he leaves for work.

...Or a diabetic cookbook, my mom has tons of em and they're actually pretty good for non-crappy tasting food.

[DanTGD]

hit him in the head at 11:59pm the day before, and then 12:01 on his birthday give him a bandaid.

[sleepyseanzzz]

get him a couple seasons of seinfeld or curb your enthusiasm? my dad loves both of those shows. does your dad like the beatles? my friend got his dad the entire beatles remastered collection which was pretty cool too

[herestoyoufla]

coffin
Damn, i can't believe i laughed at that.
...Only cause it was on Taladaga Nights.

[steve187]

Get your mom to let you take compromising pictures of her. It can be a gift from both of you without spending anything!

[argg_xo]

A framed picture of that Jonas Brother that has diabetes that will remind him that he too can party like a JoBro while having diabetes.

exactly what i came to say

[JordanBuell]

Buy him tickets to a game.

agreed.

[de1337ed]

buy him one of his favorite tv shows on dvd. the office, 24, heroes, something of that sort. x-files or whatever. its a pretty safe bet if you know he enjoys the show

[Corgkowznor]

Custom Dbacks jersey with his name on the back, since he probably can't pull off the basketball jersey anymore.

[fran.182]

Anal.

[lilwave]

darlin', anything from your heart. Its safe to read on, I'm not going to make any offensive jokes lol.

I think there are gas gift cards.
Hip clothing. (as a joke, buy him hair dye, so he doesn't take himself so seriously getting older.)
Diabetic cook books. Assuming he cooks. You can even cook for him that day, totally healthy hardy meal.
Golf gear in general, but I assume he already has that all. You can get it engraved?
nice cell phone, or technology of sorts.
a pack of Huggies

....sorry I had to xD

I'm sure he'll love any of that :wave: good luck!

[Laural666]

Get him some sweet shoes!

[alix.xo]

pick a day to spend together, just the two of you. do anything he wants to do. my best friend did that for me for my birthday, and it meant way more than anything tangible.

[cowboychris88]

coupon for a free hug or tickets to a d-backs game.

[Time Bomb Clock]

A hooker.

[Fullblast 2.0]

Your dick in a box

This thread has provided lolz. Thank you all.

[cwya]

Have Jerry Seinfeld take him golfing

[Carolina.Alex]

go with tickets to a game, and then go with him. he'll love to get to spend the day with you, unless you're a shitty son.

[SincerelyMe]

A tie.

[Jake Denning]

I don't know if this was meant to be humorous, but it might be the funniest thing I've read on AP.net in a long, long time.

Exactly, I spent like an entire minute laughing my ass off.

[Jake Denning]

A hooker.

[Enolase]

Get him the boxsets of Seinfeld on DVD.

[klawansie7]

i'm assuming he's got type II diabetes, but if he's got type I and wears in insulin pump, they have these really awesome skins you can get for your pump. my sister's got a cubs one and it's pretty rad.

[TheProsAndCons]

Snooki from Jersey Shore would be an amazing present

[wall e]

I was gonna say dick in a box, but.

[catherinexhimel]
