  what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact Help!! Please!! He origionally said he just wanted a zip-up jacket - but has now decided he has enough jackets. And I'm at a loss. He is a work-out crazy person(seriously, at the gym, 7 or 8 times a week). He love music. He likes hunting. He loves Harley Davidson(and rides one). Any ideas? It needs to be affordable for me(so, less then $40?). Thanks! Meg

I'm thinking about going to see Noah and getting a gift card to his Vit. and Sup. shop - thats we're my Dad gets all his 'drugs' LOL. --Noah is a body builder/my Dads exaple for living. LOL. and by drugs I mean things like SuperPump and Tren, the sh!t thats *almost* illegal LOL-- But I really wanted it to be something more personal, after all, he is my Dad, not a long lost realitive, and as much as I hate him I love him.

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact Cita:  Nice workout headphones? A stainless steel water bottle? He'd probably like those, thanks Cita! And very affordable....hmmm Cita: Tickets to the movies for father-daughter bonding? OMG! I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything! thats funny! About the only time we 'bond' is at the gym, LOL, its weird but we can sort of see eye-to-eye there. Weirdo's the whole lot of us, I know. But, a great idea - I think he might like Marley & Me actually, even thou it's a 'girl' movie, my Pops has a itty-bitty-teeny-wennie soft spot for animals. Any movies that are like, kung-fo ish out soon? Meg

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact misstrouble: and by drugs I mean things like SuperPump and Tren, the sh!t thats *almost* illegal LOL-- LOL - my husband takes all that stuff too. I don't even know how he keeps it straight and they say women are high maintenance I have an IPod but DH has an MP3 player and I gave him a giftcard to download music and he liked that. I think a gift card to the supplement store is also a good idea. I bought DH a book called "The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book" for Christmas. I get worried about all the stuff he takes and hope that at least having a reference book will help him keep them straight. I'll probably read it more than he does. Does he have a nice gym bag? Non-BPA sports bottle? ~ Cathy ~

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact cakana: LOL - my husband takes all that stuff too. I don't even know how he keeps it straight and they say women are high maintenance Between me and my Mom, he's learned to stop saying stuff like that! We just walk over to his cabnit(yes, a fairly large cabnit in our kitchen is FILLED with that mess, and then to his closet and his shoe area - he is more of a shoe whore then a teenaged girl and a credit card with no limit.) cakana: I have an IPod but DH has an MP3 player and I gave him a giftcard to download music and he liked that.

I think I'll do that, but last year *before all the vit. and sup.* I got him a Harley Davidson history book - he just flipped thru and looked at the pictures a few times. Not it collects dust on our coffee table. Maybe something about Vits and Sups would get more use..... cakana: Does he have a nice gym bag? Non-BPA sports bottle? He has a good bag, it fits all his stuff and stays organized. I think all his water bottles/mixers(for those nasty powders of crap) are non-BPA.....   Man - gift card is sound better and better - and MUCH easier Meg

Seriously, that's an exact description of my husband. If he finds a new supplement that he likes, he worries that they'll discontinue it so he stocks up on it. The one cupboard in the kitchen looks like a chemistry lab and his shoes have migrated onto my side of the closet because they won't all fit on his side. There are some fitness or muscle magazines that he might like a subscription to, but you're probably safest going with a gift card. ~ Cathy ~

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact Ha! Ours too! But, he knows the man he buys from, and he knows if they stop making whatever it is - Noah will find him something else. His shoes....oh gawd......he and Mom have a small walk-in, one 'his' side, there's about 20+ pairs of boots, 3 on the back pourch, and 1 - 2 in the living room. =P crazy man! LOL! My Mom would ***kill*** me if I got his a muscle mag. subscription! He already wants to look like this...... but he forgets that he's 46 - not 22. LOL! So yeaa. I swear. He's craaaaaazaaaayy!!! I asked my Mom last night if Noah did gift cards or certificates.........she gave me the stink eye. Reeeeeally bad. Meg

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact Too funny! My husband will be 46 in May and is truly in better shape than most guys half his age and it sounds like your dad is too. His coworkers tease him and call him tthe Hulk. I shouldn't make fun - imagine the couch potato alternative Does his gym sell workout clothing? Sometimes ours has some really nice stuff and for not to bad of a price. ~ Cathy ~

  Re: what do I get my Dad for Christmas?! Reply Contact  I'd probably get him a gift album.  It is sort of like a gift card except you get a magazine type thing with the items in it and he can look through it, choose what he wants, order it and it is shipped to his house free of charge.  That way he doesn't know what you spend for it and he gets to choose what he wants. You can look and see more about them.  I think it is a really cool idea. There are two that are sort of in your price range.  One is $25 and the other is $50. Here are the links to them(I hope thats ok): $25  $50     Owner of Maggie - 4 year old Lhasa apso -I am a slave to my ambition to be free-

Reply Contact  Yeah, a few months ago we got a specialty album for a baby shower.  Everyone loved going through it and looking at the diferent things she could get.  My parents also always get us one for Christmas (the gifts change every year)  They are awesome!
