    Love this list! Always amazed at those who can put together something this comprehensive! Do you know if the ESPN offer is still available? I’ve tried ordering it, but it says it’s not valid. Thanks again!

    We always have the boys fill out a little “fill in the blank” about Dad … My dad is … and a bunch of questions that they fill in the blanks. Same questions every year age 2-10yrs (of child) and then after age 10 they write a poem or note. We put these in a book with a few photos of them and dad for the year, so each year the book (photo album) grows up with them and gets more full of good memories. It’s a hand-made treasure (not too expensive, but priceless). It is never too late to start this tradition. Next year you may wish you did it this year 🙂

        My daddy is ______ years old.
        He weighs ________ and is __________ tall.
        His hair is ________________ and his eyes are _______________.
        My dad loves to ________________ and he likes to wear ________________.
        He loves to cook ________________________.
        His favorite chore is _____________________________.
        His favorite TV show is ______________________________.
        His favorite song is _______________________________.
        Daddy always tells me _____________________________.
        It makes him happy when __________________________.
        When my dad shops he likes to buy ___________________________.
        If he could go on a trip, he would go _________________________ and he would take ____________________.
        I really love it when my daddy ____________________________.

        We have gotten some funny and sweet answers … I ask the children their answers in separate rooms so they don’t influence one another. As they age, the answers become less hilarious (like my dad is “this big” tall and weighs “one pound” and his favorite chore is “wiping the counters” to something more sweet like I really love it when dad and I cuddle and read our Bible together. Treasures. If they add in any of their own ideas, I just write those down too. Like, my seven year old one year ended with “My daddy is AWESOME!” and I put that in the list. If your family isn’t into much TV (as ours is growing into being a very sparing TV watching fam) you could put “HIs favorite game or board game …

        Hope this helps many 🙂 I got this list from Once Upon A Family when they were in business.

        It would be impossible to do an exhaustive list … you did a great job putting a lot of effort into getting us many links. That took a lot of precious time on your part — and for free to all of us. Thanks.

    I love how you thought of every type of guy and not just the sports and outdoor types! My husband would rather read all day to relax! So he is probably getting a kindle gift card for his beloved kindle.

      So sorry about that. I would fix it but every time I go into the post the code gets wonky and I have to redo ALL of the bullets. Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/Powermat-PMM-PT100-Portable-with-Powercube/dp/B002JCSAWM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1338923941&sr=8-7 Like I said, we love it – and have been using it for more than two years.

    Thanks for the awesome ideas but my dad is quite musical so maybe that’s what you’re missing ?

      Maybe some of the ideas under entertainment fit for a musically oriented person (concert tickets?) … also, a CD or I-Tunes card are in that list. You could put together a gift box with a CD, some snacks he enjoys, tickets to a concert … Just thinking off the top of my head. Or a gift card to the local music store if he plays music so he can buy upgrades to his instrument, etc.

    Link exchange is nothing else but it is simply placing the other person’s blog link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in support of you.

    I was wondering what would be the best gift for a father who is in the nursing home due to a stroke? Since he is unable to move around, there is not much I can really give him that is on this list. He does not watch movies and does not listen to music, so tech devices are not going to work. I was thinking some kind of inanimate object like a statue or vase, but I don’t want it to look tacky. Plants are not going to work because the care takers will not water them and neither will he.
