I don't think you can go wrong with gift cards, especially to places like Best Buy. I think that banjo strap was actually a really great gift. We got Derek's dad a cell phone for Christmas (because I was fresh out of ideas) and you would have thought that was THE best thing he had ever gotten. It seems like when I over think it, I bust, but when I just get something I think they will like I do better. Okay, I'm no help. I'll go now!

My dad really loves his TomTom.<BR/>I imagine you have already made your decision by now and I am sure that each of them will love whatever you give them. The older we get, I think the less it matters. We care more about just being with those that we love.<BR/>Happy Birthday to your dad and Steve!MiMihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743953892055402597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658934823595947474.post-62916131150796110882008-08-20T14:54:00.000-07:002008-08-20T14:54:00.000-07:00Yea for ya'll!

BUT down the road I might have to keep that one in mind! The Croc idea is a good one. My dad might actually like those!! And he doesn't have any yet. I even liked the gift card idea, Jen. You at least gave me permission!! ha ha! <BR/>Tomorrow is the birthday jaunt! Let's see how it goes!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200043966418016288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658934823595947474.post-44168248439063733452008-08-20T14:07:00.000-07:002008-08-20T14:07:00.000-07:00I don't know if this would work, but we just got m...I don't know if this would work, but we just got my father-in-law some crocs. He didn't have any and we got him some with the Arkansas Razorback logo on them. They make all sort of custom ones, now. They may not even like crocs, but I thought I would suggest it.<BR/>My dad is the HARDEST person to buy for!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274828412033940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658934823595947474.post-63939687568636279102008-08-20T11:59:00.000-07:002008-08-20T11:59:00.000-07:00Girl, I got nothin'.

My aunt did that for my uncle last year. He loved it and he isn't even a huge racing fan. Also, my grandmother got a one-hour massage for my grandfather one year and he really loved that! Or, you could plan a little surpirse party for both your dad and husband and have a cookout at your house and invite a few close friends and family. That one is always fun! For Patrick, I make him a scrapbook each year with pictures from the past year. He always likes that. Sometimes I google "creative gift ideas" and that helps too. Hope you find the perfect gift for both!Jessica Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540879063901228406noreply@blogger.com
