What to get dad for his Birthday?

shitake555

My dad's 60th Birthday is coming up.
He has 3 sons and we are making a little movie for him using pictures from 1950 to 2010. We have it up to 1974 and its turning out to be beautiful and way past my expectations.
We also planned to interview all sorts of people for my dad's past and have them in the movie but its turning out to be too much.. with 1 brother living in Israel with a pregnant wife, 1 brother in Ireland and 1 brother in New Zealand it turned out to be something we cannot accomplish.

So I am thinking about something else we can do instead to maybe add to the movie.
Also we were looking to buy him something nice and are at a loss... now I know no one here knows our father and so wouldn't know what to get him. But we were looking to buy him something from the three of us, putting into it a few thousand dollars.

Any unique ideas about the movie and about the present? Any Idea would be very much appreciated :)
thank you very much.

Answer
for the movie, instead of an interview, u should compile together some of his favorite song and movie titles and add that int here somewheres. as for the gift, if he likes photography u could get him a nice professional camera, if hes into computers, get him the latest and greatest model, if he needs a new part for his car, get it for him, if he needs something expensive for the house, give it to him. there are a lot of everyday items you can give him that he will still love. good luck!

Answer
Well, you went around the world to be with her. I think she will understand if the present is on the less than expensive side. I'd say take her for a hike or a picnic. Go camping or visit a nearby park. Do some research on the Internet for bed and breakfast type places to stay at in lovely locales. You could also just have a picnic on your local beach and spend the money on getting her a nice necklace or earrings or some such. As for the cake, if you're not sure about baking one, buy one.

Lastly, remember that a great birthday isn't the end all and be all of marriages. If saving your money and buying her something cheap will make the rest of the year go by more smoothly, then save your money. It's better to do something small and not worry about bills later.
