My dad will be turning 50 next weekend. I've been scratching my head thinking of what to get him, but I can't come up with anything. He's basically got everything
I thought of getting a pen, but that's too ordinary, don't you think?
I thought of getting him a pair of shades, but my mom told me he just bought a pair a few weeks ago
Clothes are out of the topic, he's a big guy and I wouldn't wanna go through the hassle of returning/exchanging clothes if I happen to get the wrong size.

What would you guys recommend?
Budget: RM 250-RM 300

Thanks!

get a watch..
looks okay with him

He already had a Seiko watch.
Then recently a month back he bought some high end Aviator watch =.=

wash his car yourself and get it professionally polished.

Errr.. Not a bad idea but.. I don't think he'll see the difference

make some nice pan grill chicken/lamb/steak/salmon steak for him personally for dinner. see my menu on my signature, no harm take a peek
mine all ready pre-marinated and i sells sauce also, no more headache how to cook.

With our delicious Pre-Marinates recipes, you only needs to very simple steps to serve it.
1. Unpack from packing
2. Thaw/Defrost it in a very clean environment.
3. Heat up your pan & pour a little oil on it.
4. Place our delicious JayaBBQ Pre-marinates meats on the pan & cook it.
5. Ready to serve!

That shows that you dont really understand old man at your age.. Since you said that he already has everything, why bother asking even in serious /K. U asked a question, i tell u the best answer. I gave my dad that for his birthday and he thanked me...

Why I bother asking? Because I need to get him a gift, regardless if he has everything or not. I wanna get a gift for him, so why you butthurt?
Yes I asked a question, and you gave me an answer, not the best though, don't flatter yourself.

Now thank you for your response.
And cool story berah

nice dinner? simply as that..

How about a biz card case?

Not a bad idea

With your budget, you can buy a designer branded one...

hoh this is hard

btw since your dad got an expensive watch so why not buying something like belt set, wallet or shoe?

I was considering those already. Belt & Shoe definitely out, his physique is rather big.
Kalau belt tak cukup lubang, susah pulak. If shoe too small, susah also

Wallet might make a good gift.

spend quality time..fishing maybe?

He doesn't like fishing
I thought of a Pewter mug, aye or nay? http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2583073&hl=

handphone

bought my dad sony phone

brah if your dad waist around 42-60 inch u can always go to Big Outlet Store..
got leather belt for those who big size..

btw i do think wallet is the easiest escape

If non Muslim, how about a bottle of single malt scot whisky 10 years old. Budget of RM300 about right!

get him a car..oh wai..300 max budget

he likes to collect anything?

Lol ayam Punjabi, and my dad drinks.
But I don't. And I don't know shiat about drinks yo!

a nice dinner at a place he probably has never been before is the answer to that.

if you're familiar with PJ area, take him and the family to carnaval. it's around where the old atria building used to be. link below:

There you go then! A bottle of 70cl - 1 litre good scotch whisky will be a great gift for a 50 year old who has 'everything'.
If he knows whisky, go for single malt like Glenfiddich, Glenmoragie, Highland Park (more readily available in Malaysia). If
he is just likes to drink, no matter what whisky, then Johnny Walker Black Label or Chivas Regal 12 year old would be a good
choice! Any good supermartket in KL/PJ should stock them. Or some wine shops.

Ask your mother or anyone who knows, what is the thing that your dad likes but he never want to buy it, or haven't buy it.
This will give him maximum happiness.

Why say pen is ordinary? There's a lot of symbolism in a pen.

If he wears shirt and tie can consider cuff links and tie.

If u got brother n sisters why dont collect 300 each and buy something like galaxy tab 10". We bought a tab for my father n install scrabble n put old pictures in it.
Old man likes the childrens remember the old times. Always be around them.
For rm300 maybe u can buy a cheap tab. Put some picture in it. Next year buy a bigger version

Just be a good boy... priceless gift.

agree with this..dinner is the best birthday gift!

perfume perhaps? aramis gold

Men health massage coupon. Legit one

Does he has a hobby, say maybe a liking for Zippo lighters, gemstones, Harley stuff etc. Buy him something that he likes. I believe, it's the thought that counts more than anything to your dad.

The other day my dad wanted an Ipad...damn..he is 70+...

Don't underestimate orang lama ... many of them are very computer savvy, can teach us a trick or twoleh.

Bought already: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2583073&hl=

Thanks for the ideas everyone, will keep in view for his next birthday
