A pocket tissue holder because, whether he admits it or not, he’s really just one giant softy at heart. Warning: He’ll probably tell you he uses it as an iPhone holder, $13.
The complete Jurassic Park Trilogy because he took you to see the movie three times while it was in the theater, $54.99.
A subscription to the Bacon of the Month Club because, well, bacon makes everything better, $145.95.
This wave & sun T-shirt because it reminds him of the Beach Boys, his all-time favorite group, $28.
The Meatball Cookbook because he loooves meat, remember? $16.29.
A Periodic Table shower curtain (just like in The Big Bang Theory!) because without him, you never would have survived (and passed!) high school chemistry, $29.99.
A chalkboard mug to leave him corny jokes, $10.
An animal print that he can hang above his desk and look at on those long days when he’d rather be outside than stuck at the office, $20.
A scratch map ($24) and a travel stub diary ($14.95) to record all his retirement adventures.
…and a soup and sandwich ceramic tray duo for when he comes home, $30.

OK, I did a total nerd squeal of delight over the Jursasic Park trilogy. I LOVE those movies. I remember seeing it with my parents in the theater, my mom covered her eyes!
Great ideas, so creative! 🙂

These are great! My dad is a health teacher and a coach, and all he wants year after year is a gift certificate to Nike. He's SO BORING to shop for!

i have the scratch map poster, and it's reeeally made me want to visit Russia and Antarctica so i can scratch it off and look wordly and travelled (european countries are so small and silly looking on a world scale!!)
