#gifts - #Please help me redeem myself with awesome gifts for my dad!


Because of COVID, I haven’t seen my folks in months and didn’t get to celebrate my dad’s birthday or Father’s Day. Because of being a healthcare worker and just feeling spent altogether, I also failed to acquire gifts, and I’m at a loss of what to get - but I’m now in a time crunch because I’ll get to see my dad next weekend.Dad is super awesome, an active and young-at-heart 73 years old, a retired Army officer, an avid cyclist (he still rides in century races), a stealth conservative, a devout Episcopalian. He frequently travels both within the US and internationally for bike tours and is always looking for good ways to document his adventures. He likes old dorky satirical comedies (think Airplane, Naked Gun, Hotshots, etc) and some war-themed computer games. He’s very computer- and tech-savvy, and seems to own every gadget known to man. He’s not super sentimental but loves his two grandkids dearly. He’s also fairly well-off (unlike myself) so he is able to buy himself the things that catch his fancy, which makes gift-giving even harder - as does the fact that I don’t share any of his interests, so I don’t know what’s cool and good in those areas.I would love to acquire two gifts in the $50-120 range (each) that can be purchased on Amazon or elsewhere online in time to arrive by next weekend, August 15-16. Brick and mortar suggestions are okay too, although my schedule is tight so shopping in person is tough. I’m in the Baltimore/Annapolis area in Maryland.Thanks in advance! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/i6331h/please_help_me_redeem_myself_with_awesome_gifts/?utm_source=ifttt
