Help! Birthday gift for elderly father

TIA.

Does he like liquor or candy?

Good luck.

Movie passes? Netflix subscription?

Does he need help with chores? Spending a day repairing shit he needs repaired is really appreciated.

Pay for a few massage sessions at a good health spa. Seniors need healthy touch and rarely get any. Its healing. He might destress.

Track down any friends from his past who are still alive--it may even be good to get in contact with their children--to have them call him on his birthday.

Maybe set up a group call or Zoom chat.

There probably isn't anything in the world he would like better.

A carton of Chesterfields was always appreciated by grandpa.

Or a bottle of Four Roses.

Old people love to eat. A restaurant gift card. Or just take them out to eat.

An electric blanket or throw, a cozy fleece, track pants, Smartwool socks, grip socks, a pair of slip on sketchers, pajamas, good slippers with a nonskid sole, magazine subscription

These are all things I’ve gotten for my dad who is 85 (and always cold).

My dad lived in a co-op…he was always a techie so one yrs I got him a roomba. He got such a big kick out of it…he loved the way it docked itself

Another time, I bought him a good quality heated blanket because his building was cheap giving out heat and he was in his 90$.

He also had wrist pain from a fall so I repackaged some medi weed in gel form using my Fl medical marijuana cardand sent it to him for the pain…didn’t tell him it was thc based…it helped
