JL235	I have one day left to get a present for my dad. I've already got him a wallet, but it's small and isn't much on it's own. So what else should I buy him tomorrow? Feel free to be creative. This is excluding: alcohol, dvds and games.

Hotshot	Put some moneys in as surprize, so that way he will buy whatever he want

mindstorm8191	I got my dad something called a 3rd eye. Its basically a flashlight you can wear as a hat of sorts. He sometimes goes underneath houses and stuff, so I'm thinking it will help him some - I don't know if your dad does anything like that though. Perhaps some chocolates or fine cheeses? -=-=- Vesuvius web game

blanko1324	Hotshot had a good idea, but maybe instead of money put in a giftcard to his favorite store - it's more thoughtful I think. -=-=- My Twitter

Phoenix	Give him some sort of a puzzle, such as a sudoku machine or a Rubik's Cube. I'm usually against giving away money or gift cards. Gifts are supposed to be chosen by the giver, not the receiver.

Afr0	Write him a game?

CodersRule	I think I'll write my dad a flash game... Wait, it's already Christmas Eve?! Time to go get "Sams Make a Flash Game in 24 hours"

CodersRule	I'll "interact" with it- code as I read!

Jayenkai	Does your dad like "Hello World"?

CodersRule	Uhm... I was working on a sidescroller a few days ago, then my computer rebooted and lost all my work... And I'm too lazy to redo it

JL235	In the end I bought him the recent Star Trek film on DVD (so much for no DVDs). However so did my brother. So I'm taking it back and swapping it for something else tomorrowz.

blanko1324	Darn, you thought you solved it, but now Christmas is over and you've still got to figure out what to get him. -=-=- My Twitter

JL235	In the end it swapped for The Departed. Awesome film, but the DVD in HMV was waaaaay over priced.

mindstorm8191	Well, hope that gift worked for you. My wife didn't like the movie... I thought it was somewhat interesting. Especially in the fact that... oh wait that's a spoiler. > Reveal 🔎 That nearly everyone involved in the movie dies. I thought the good guys were supposed to live? -=-=- Vesuvius web game
