Interests - Think about what he might like to do if he had the spare time to do it. Fishing? Cars? Planes? Science? Or Computers?History - What did he really enjoy in his past time? Was he a flyer in the air force? Did he play in a college jazz band? Look for gifts like an important radio broadcast that affected his life. Geographical maps, books, foods from a favored country he has talked about. Add a note saying that this gift reminded me of the stories you share with me. Another important is nostalgic history you two shared togrther. Go to that ball game together or explore a passion he tried to teach you as a kid and you just weren't interested at that time. Finally his needs. Look for gifts that are practical. Items like chair massagers or warmers, good quality clothing that he might have selected for himself. Don't make him too old a man, be a little respectful to find gifts that emphasizes his strengths.
