A bottle of 70cl - 1 litre good scotch whisky will be a great gift for a 50 year old who has 'everything'.But I don't. And I don't know shiat about drinks yo! 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. |

QUOTE(Seager @ Nov 9 2012, 06:58 PM) 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 Why say pen is ordinary? There's a lot of symbolism in a pen.  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!  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 |

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.
