[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are stumped about thoughtful gift ideas for his dad. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated!

He's in his early 70's, is wealthy (and when he wants something, he just gets it), and is very laid-back, sweet, and generous. His hobbies are golf (playing and watching), cigars, and vodka. He is an active alcoholic so we avoid boutique types of vodka even though he likes them - think someone who no longer buys fifths but buys the giant novelty size bottles of liquor instead. He also buys expensive cigars by the box when our gift price range would be more like getting him a few of the same. For golf, he has a membership at a nice place, pro sessions when he wants them, nice equipment, and a ton of shirts, hats, etc. He and MIL dine out regularly and prefer more traditional sorts of food over trendier fare. He dislikes spa treatments and gives gc's for those to MIL or DIL.

He is head over heels for our dd who he doesn't get to see much because of distance. We often do gifts that are photo books, framed prints, mugs with her art, etc. but worry about those being cheesy if we do them every time. He often buys figures of the cartoon characters she likes so he can do funny skypes with her.

We love him so much and would like to do something nice, and while our budget is nowhere near his we don't want to come off as cheap.[/quote]
