My dad's 70th birthday

[gmail]

My dad is turning 70 in September, and I wanted to give him something meaningful. We're doing a big family trip in August, but I wanted to do something else, gift-wise.

Any creative types out there got any ideas?

What about a photo book? Its not expensive or anything, but it can take a lot of time. You could even write stuff on the pages, memories you share together, that kind of thing.

What does he like? I got my dad a book that was a collection of life lessons a daughter learns from her father. One lesson per page, illustrated, cutesy etc. I went through and edited some of them to fit our relationship or made notes about memories etc that we had. My dad is big on making note of memories and the important things even though he doesn't show it (he has a diary of these things, but would be embarrassed if he knew that I knew).

I think the photo book thing is a great idea and the book about life lessons a daughter learns from her father!
