Okay Fathers Day is soon approaching, I want to make my dad a Fathers Day Gift. I made him slippers for Christmas so want to do something else. He is 82, and not into sports. What can I make my dad for Fathers Day?

Why don't you write him a poem or just write a letter to him...mat and frame it. Before my dad died I did that for him....and he kept it where he could see and read it everyday...it meant the world to him!

Cool idea, and wow so inexpensive. I am going to try that.

I like to make knitted socks for gifts. My feet are always freezing so I wear them all the time. My grandmother used to make them when I was a kid and then my mom took over the job. She also makes them for my dad, brother, and my children. Last year I learned how and I made a pair for all my kids at Christmas, my husband, and my mom (hers was the first pair). They are not too difficult depending on your knitting skills. I use 4 double pointed needles for the type I make.

Also I love to draw so for my parents anniversary two years ago I drew a portrait of them and had it matted and framed. I don't know if you can draw or paint, but even a favourite photo makes a nice gift, especially if the person has not seen it for a long time. You could have it enlarged and framed.

Most of us older people are on limited incomes, so this might be an idea. When my elders were in that age range, they could never get to a store to get cards to send the family members on their special days. So one year I decorated a box (and personalized it) and in the box I put all kinds of greeting cards (birthday, anniversary, etc.) The dollar store has nice cards, often 2 for a buck, and often have nice boxed cards with a mix of themes in them. A nice 'go-with' would be stamps, and a nice pen, and some lined note paper. If he has trouble writing, you could make out the name and addresses on the front of the envelope, and then where the stamp goes write the date it should be mailed out. My gramma really liked this when we did it for her.

well I was thinking of doing something different this year for my dad. I am thinking of making chocolate and pecan cookies from scratch. They are his favorite. Last Father's Day I made him a little knitted pillow with blue on one side and orange on the other. They were his college colors.
