Gifts for my father - part two

I wrote about buying gifts for my father and how I tried to come up with something a bit different. One year, soon after we were married, we bought him six different beers. He wasn’t a big drinker but enjoyed a beer on a hot day. Christmas in Australia is hot so a good time for having a beer. The thought was that he and Vince would share one or two of the beers over Christmas. It would be something for them to talk about too. It’s not a spectacular gift but it was better than socks and jocks. The photo shows my parents on their wedding day.

I am sure he appreciated the gesture. One year I got my dad a remote holder that had his favorite sports team on the side. Not sure if they are still using that

That would have been a good gift. It's very satisfying when you can come up with something they like.

It was something that he could share if he wanted to. Vince was very happy to give his opinion on a couple of them.

Thanks. Mum was married in a brown suit. They had very little money at the time.
