What to buy my dad for Father's Day.

My dad is a retired auto mechanic and has every kind of tool imaginable. I have no idea what to get him.
He had done a lot for me over the years. He even took me in when my son and I had nowhere else to go.
While I could get him a gift card that I would like something better. When my dad wants something he just buys it. I have already done many father son pictures. His hobbies are pretty much working on the house and yard or his Camaro. What he really wants I cannot afford. He has said many times he wants a nice jacket with his Camaro embroidered on back and his name on front with the Camaro logo. My 2 other siblings can't help because they are both tight on money.

Re: What to buy my dad for Father's Day.

Anything with the Camero emblem on it for his car...gear shifter,,,steering wheel cover....key chain....cup....or a basket full of all of the above 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Quality time with you and your son on his big day in my opinion will please him way more than any gift you could get him.

Re: What to buy my dad for Father's Day.

Quality time indeed would be appreciated.  I always try to do something for him for Fathers day to make him feel appreciated.  Unfortunately he is in an unhappy marriage but refuses to divorce and she refuses counseling.  Because he works Graveyard shift I only get to see him but a few times a year.

 

My dad actually has an entire room full of spare parts for his 1969 Z8 camaro.  Literally everything including a hood, fenders, quarter panels, radio, etc.

I didn't really see much for camaro accessories.  He already has signs, and camaro mats, but I will keep my eye open for something.

Re: What to buy my dad for Father's Day.

I've always been partial to watches.  Maybe a Camaro or similar themed watch?  Might cost you a few hundred to get a nice one, but I know for me I dont like to ask for or get anything really, but watches are always nice and you can always use them.

 

 

If hes not into watches, maybe do what my sister did, a year of netflix prepaid or of some kind of service he would use or currently uses.
