Ok for all guys, I need help

[gapeach]

Father's day is Sunday and our anniversary is Wednesday. I need gift ideas!!

James is 31, father of a 2 year old girl,he is an electrician, likes reading, dirt track races, nascar, model kits, fishing, movies and riding four-wheeler. I would love to get him Alone in the Wilderness but I'm afraid I waited too long to order it Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

How about a nice picnic lunch and let his girl take him fishing ??? Could be in her back yard pool even. A stick...magnet on string ....bolts and things to catch. Their time together....father time .

That does sound really sweet and I thought of taking him out to eat (is too hot for picnic!) I will also let her scribble on his card True they hardly ever spend one on one time together but I think he's kinda scared too.

A fly rod? A float tube or small cataraft? A new Dewalt cordless tool set? What the budget here? Yould have to ask alot of questions for a new tool belt, Im an electritian I know this one. Maybe a winch for his 4wheeler?

My dads getting a phone call, m,aybe an Email.

I was thinking round 20 -30 bucks I'm a stay at home mom so we're kinda on limited budget! I'd have no idea what kinda tool belt to buy.

I wish I knew what tools he has, he leaves them on work van at the shop. He also loves Glenn Beck, the radio talk show guy, I wonder if he has a book out?

Find an author he likes and get the most recent book/s. Or get a few DVDs of what he likes. Could do both of those. If he dosent fly fish maybe find a book or DVD (A River Runs Though It did the trick for me) might get him into the sport but that also can eventually get costly.

Yeah toolbelts can get costly unless you dont mind being uncomfortable.

This is the classic by Izaak Walton - http://www.farreaches.org/fishing/izintro.html

You can probably find a copy at a bookstore.

Yeah he loves his movies, will def be dvd's as we already have many. So they don't take up so much room. Will have to look at what we have right before i go shopping, as I bought him Arlington Road for Christmas but we already had it. He just regular pole fishes. He would LOVE a lil john boat but they're very expensive. Thinking I might could find him t shirt with pocket in it b/c is all he wears (smokes ) I am also gonna buy him some Nicorette gum b/c he has decided again to try to cut back/quit.

Guys seem to really like the George Foreman grill. I don't know why. <shrugs>

I hadn't thought about a fish book, that's good idea too. I know he would love a book that showed pics of different fish/what they are and how to catch them.

Yeah I bought him a griddle that he wanted for Christmas one year has never used it but it sure can occupy some space in my kitchen!

I missed the Glenn Beck reference earlier, he has at least one book out and a couple of CDs. The CDs should be on his website Im not sure on the book.

OK his book and many other things are available on the website. Glenn Becks website.

Glenn Beck is cool.

Another good idea is to find a place you want to visit and find a book on fishing there, you get to visit he gats to fish everybody wins.

 

[gapeach]

Wow, ya'll have alot in common apparently. I know he would love the book, I wonder if it would be available at Booksamillion or just on his website? Will have to find out. Should have started shopping earlier. Shame on me. lol
