it's my brother's idea
something to do with watching football.

the thing with my dad, he is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for. if he wants it, he already has it, and he doesn't really want that much - just nice clothes, golf stuff and football stuff. and you can't buy the same thing every year, esp as he takes us all on holiday... buying presents for men is HARD.

Well why not get him a 3D television for the lounge?
Add to that a Sky 3D subscription and it'll be something a bit different.

It'll be great for the sport as well, and he can keep his perfectly good telly where it is now?

he already has that in the family room
this is the problem. you name it, he has it. little things to get him are easy, but finding an original main present from me and brothers is a total bugger every year!

What are his hobbies and interests?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 11:45, Reply)

A golf buggy.

buy him a russian bride
to act as his golf caddy

Or one from Thailand
Then, if he loses his golf ball, she can just pop a new one out of her fanny.

What sort of money are you thinking of spending?
You could get one of those electronic golf nets that gets hooked up to a computer game.

we normally spend about £250-£300 each
only on him, i hasten to add! my brother can have a £50 itunes voucher and like it.

Is it the two of you putting into the pot? So, around £500-600 in total?

older brother will do as he's told, he's got 3 kids and a wife to shop for, so he is just glad not to have to make any more present decisions!

What's he like with technology? Does he travel a lot?

I informed my dad at his birthday
that he either needs to start liking more stuff or stop buying the few things he does like, otherwise he will be getting a bottle of Scotch every Christmas and birthday from now until the day he dies.

His repsonse? "I suppose I could use a new tie if you really want."

My Dad keeps an Amazon wish list
And for my Mum's birthday last week we bought her a Pandora charm bracelet, so I'll be getting her a charm for that.

DONE.

Why not take him out for meals etc?
When you don't need or want any stuff, you'll still want meals esp with your family.

This only works if he doesn't hate your fucking guts, of course.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 11:45, Reply)

we do this all the time anyway :(
my suggestion was that the 3 of us take him for a weekend to paris or brussels or somewhere on the eurostar, but my brother thinks the football-enhancing tv will be better.

Buying presents for men is not hard
Buy him some beer. Or some sort of novelty toy in which a woman takes her clothes off.

Done.

One of those pens, you mean?

Exactly this
or one of the viewing thingies you used to get in the eighties with a film of women taking their clothes off. Or of beer.
( Kroney, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 11:53, Reply)

I was once in a bar that served vodka in these novelty shot glasses
that had retro nude pin-up photos in the base. However due to the optical effect of the liquid you could only see the girl if the glass was full. A nifty incentive to get another round.
