I know, my dad says the same thing… “I don’t want anything, just you.” and it drives me NUTS! I know he is sincere when he says it, and perfectly satisfied with no gift, but I still want to get him something. I know he likes Harleys and and he has a 42 foot boat and he’s into hunting and fishing, but I have no idea what I can get him that’s under $50 and he can enjoy. Any suggestions? I would reaaaalllly appreciate it. And I want to get him something that he can look at and think about me because we live about 70 miles apart, and we don’t get to see eachother often. Thanks for the help!
