I am 14 and have broken my ankle so cannot go out and buy a present for him until my mum comes home at 6 o'clock!
I have no idea what to get him, every year I usually just buy chocolates but as it is his 50th I want something at least a little more special but not too expensive as I don't have the money
He's the average man tbh, likes football, golf, beer, watches etc... but I don't know what to get him!
I don't think I have time to make a photo album :(
Any ideas? Something not too expensive/Quick to make
Thanks!
Answer
Make him a home-made candle. All you need is a bunch of half or mostly burnt old candles to melt down (if they have fragrance then even better).
Find a glass jar from something he really likes ... a glass jar from his favorite pickles etc ... an old unused beer mug etc etc.
You'll need to get a wick so find a full size new candle and put it in a double boiler to melt it down. Candle wax actually melts at very low temps ... this is easy to do. Retrieve the wick from the wax.
Put the wick into the jar Here is an example ...

Melt each of the old candles you've collected and make a different colored layer by pouring a inch or two into your mold.
Google "how to make a candle" for more instructions.
The reason this is a good gift is that most people have old half burn candles lying around ... it is something you've made for him personally ... it basically becomes a "new" object (you're not giving him something used) ... and old candle wax melts incredibly easily.

What should i do about dads birthday present?

I have to buy my dad a birthday present. We are going on holiday this saturday so need quick answers.
I want to buy him something to do with fishing. I was gonna buy him a small boat but it is way to expensive. Any other ideas. He loves watches but he gets mega expensive ones. (Any watch accessories.)
Answer
Happy Birthday to your Dad in advance!
Give him a nice birthday card together with a great watch. (He would probably like another new one as it is a gift from you!)
