For my dad I'd like to work up the courage to tell him how much I (and my kids) love him and how much he means to us.

Nothing, but I haven't seen him since I was 10 (26 now), so I don't think anything's expected.

A Buck 110 folding knife. He lost his last knife that my brother got him...years ago. It's not super-expensive but it's excellent quality and will stand up to any abuse. I think he's going to enjoy it.

Dad left the country for a trip, so the present will have to wait until he comes back. Good thing, because I have not figured out anything yet.
My little daughter made me a card at preschool, and will probably make another one with mom. Other than that - nothing. Oh wait, I convinced my wife to let me by new rollerblades, so that counts as a huge gift! :thumbsup:

Buck 110 is a great knife. I lost mine a few years ago and keep meaning to replace it but only miss it when I need it..


Great gift!

usually i agree. but i have always enjoyed mothers/fathers day. we always do something as a family. its not so much the gifts (my dad is a pain to shop for and my mom is worse) as it is the time together.

IF he is anything like my dad (he knows) he will enjoy hearing it anyway. But i have always had a great relationship with my dad. never had a problem saying i love you or such.

i have a old buck folding knife. it looks like the 110 but don't think it is. the darn thing has to be 15 yrs old. i carry it with me every day.

Wow, some people are going for expensive gifts. I always thought father's day was worth a token gift, something to just get together. I normally reserve expensive gifts for birthdays.

My kids are making me something and i have no idea. i am trying to talk my wife into a Table saw but my wife don't want to spend $500-600 heh. But i might end up with a new cell phone (just have to figure out which one).

hopefully they also take me out for dinner! i want to hit up a good BBQ joint in toward Chicago hmm.

If you end up doing this, you should check out Smoque. It's on Pulaski just south of 90. They have some of the tastiest damn BBQ I've ever had. Beef Brisquet, Pulled Pork, ST. Louis / Baby Back Ribs, and some of the most delicious sides too. Definitely check it out.

As far as what I'm getting my dad, I burned him a CD of songs that he wanted for his cruising music. We're also going out to dinner tonight to avoid the crowds.

Building him a built-in entertainment center to match his built-in bookcase.

I prolly won't get anything...my daughter is rather negligent in matters of holiday protocol.
