Generic older man/FIL gift ideas?

[UnderProtest]

Do you like him or should we suggest all sorts of candy and sweets?

[UnderProtest]

Ha, so meat & cheese or Brookstone it is!

[w2w]

Does he drink? If so, bottle of something.
Does he dress up for work? If so, tie.
Does he golf? If so, golf balls.

[rubytue]

Hat and gloves?

[SusanBAnthony]

Get some good jams and spreads at the farmers market and then a box or two or crackers? Or is that too sugary/carby? What about some kind of fancy nuts?

New slippers?

I have no idea. I always do food gifts for men bc men suck.

I get my dad funky ties sometimes but I know he likes them.

My fil wears short sleeve dress shirts to work every single day, year round. I get him those at penny's. so odd.

Dress socks? Wool hiking socks if he is into the outdoors? A magazine subscription to national geographic? Ooh, I know, all old people like consumer reports magazine!

Does he like to grill?
