What do you get a Father that has everything.???

I got my dad a nice tool chest and a tool cabinet for father's day this year - my dad is a mechanical eng. he uses that thing to it's fullest ...

The dilema is what do I get my father in law sheesh.. he's a CGA and we got him a new laptop for his B'day last year which he hasn't touched as he still has his old laptop that he wants to like completely kill off or something...

So I have no IDEA what to get my father in law.. and he's not the technical kind so I can't get him any tools and please don't say Calculator...:loco

Clone the old laptop onto the new one and throw the old one out? Than he'll have to use the new one :chuckle

I'm probably just going to say Happy Fathers Day to my dad and that's it... I can't get him a gift because it's too late, and I can't go golfing or anything because he's on the west coast.

not sure if your dad is into this kid of stuff, but here are some ideas
1) game of pool
2) game of bowling
3) go-karting?
4) paint-balling
5) a nice dinner
gifts:
1) speakers
2) headphones
3) a nice pen (those $100+ ones)
4) a tie
5) gift card
6) smart-phone of some sort (since you said CGA)

Man my dad is impossible to buy for!!!! He's a mechanic but has every snap-on tool you can think of, and the snap on gift certificates are getting tiring... he's also not very active for paintball or whatnot, so today I'm puttin together a mesh of little things he likes...

Getting a cheap little red tool box big enough to stuff with peanut brittle, beer nuts, beer store gift certificate and maybe a new hat and anything else that might come to mind when I'm out... haha it's the most thoughtful thing I could think of rather than buy him the new boat he's been asking for :whoa haha

Maybe that will help anyone still lookin for ideas :)
